old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

From ancient Caledonian pinewoods to soaring golden eagles, there’s so much to love about nature. 🌿❤️ But Scotland remains one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world - and it doesn't have to be this way. Rewilding can breathe new life into our landscapes 💚 Repost if you agree!

Did your Green Sandpipers survive the January cold snap? Northern UK sites may well be on the edge when it comes to winter survival. More here: wadertales.wordpress.com/2019/01/18/w... #ornithology

This hut in Norway was not 1km from the road, at the edge of a tourist town. Built by the council with multiuser path suitable for buggies. No overnight stays but not locked. Fire bowls if you bring your own fuel. Books to read. Clean up after yourself. Can we have nice things in Scotland too? Hmm.

"UK Conservation has a woodland birds problem - it is not just Willow Tits that now look on a path to UK extinction, several other of our woodland bird species now look likely to become some of the next species to disappear from Britain..." Worth a read 👇 #birds #extinction #nature #wildlife 🪶🌿

Picked this up thinking it a watercolour but it turned out to be an embroidery c.1932. Given a new lease of life - we love it. Low cost high value.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Our most read stories of 2024: In April we revealed that a plastic offsetting project – the first & biggest of its kind – backed by Danone was suspended following allegations that a recycling facility was built illegally close to a Balinese community. Danone withdrew from the project last week.

Meet Jeremy Clarkson. He’s used his show Clarkson’s Farm to blame badgers for spreading bTB and has reportedly shot all the badgers on his land. He’d absolutely hate it if you shared this and signed the petition to end the badger cull 👇https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700317

Jaw dropping double standards. When laws are written by lobbyists of vested interests to target only climate protest to the exclusion of others is unconscionable. Where is the press outrage? Why is the current government complicit in the Tufton St agenda?

Who makes those tracks in the meadow? - there are no sheep and few Badgers here. The Hare & the Roe Deer. If you enjoy my clips then it would be great if you could reSky them. Video clips are not yet picked up in Feeds here & so it's difficult to get them seen. Thank you #ukwildlife #hares #nature

Ten thousand 🙏 to everyone who has signed our petition to ban driven grouse shooting! The Govt will now have to respond. But we're not finished yet - we want a parliamentary debate and for that we need 100,000 signatures. Can you help us reach our target? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
