We have to change how we think about nature in our country. By 2080 around 90% of our current ‘priority habitats’ are likely to have been significantly altered by climate change and its interaction with other factors in the landscape. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

I’ve had the goi fortune to spend a bit of time in John Goldie’s company at Ullapool Guitar Festival. One if the nicest people I have ever met and the person who introduced me to three finger chords! An endlessly versatile guitarist. youtu.be/Zk0NkehP3uA?...

Patch based approaches to landscape scale nature recovery. Simple and inexpensive but effective. Funny how ‘Priority Habitats’ is appearing in more comms now! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Big debate for a long while about the causes of megafauna extinctions. This paper confirms the central role of humans. Of 57 mammal species over 1000kg that roamed the Earth during the late Pleistocene, 11 remain now (Elephants/Rhino etc). www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Canaries in the mine! I have thought for some time that we need to start thinking very differently about our source stock for conservation planting. Part of moving away from historically fixed conservation objectives which are questionable in a warming world. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Understanding the condition of features, factors affecting them and the scope to control them are critical steps in management planning. If we are to adapt of our long protected sites to a warmer world we must know current condition. Monitoring isn’t optional. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is what we tried with the Green Grid project in the Thames Gateway back in the early 2000’s. Creating and executing policy for urban/urban fringe/green belt and wider countryside around urban areas that regards them as as connected landscapes with multiple functions. apple.news/AuPFmcTtqQHC...

Lovely, if rather too warm, walk today. Clouds and clouds of what I assume to be chironomid midges at Linacre reservoir dams on our Boxing Day walk. Hard to get a good shot!

This looks rather useful to those of us interested in protected area management. Combined with Climate Smart Adaptive Management and Climate Change Vulnerability the basis of a modern approach to where limited resources are best placed and where new ££ are critical -nice! jncc.gov.uk/our-work/spa...

Extending the deadline is good news. Within protected landscapes our path networks are in a poor state due to over a decade of cuts. Access is a major factor when managing sites and landscapes and needs a significant boost in resource’s so we can get it right. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

75 years ago legislation to create Britain’s National Parks was passed - and now government needs to show the same vision & commitment so our protected areas can realise their true potential. @campaign4parks.bsky.social @ramblersgb.bsky.social @jayneyb.bsky.social @campaignerkate.bsky.social

Today’s poem is dedicated to all those who have taken it upon themselves to correct the grammar or spelling in my poems over the last few weeks. It’s called ‘Pedents’.

I spend a fair bit of time trying to find good ways of communicating the effects of climate change. Last year I worked out where the Peak District was moving to based on 1950’s climates. Now some clever people have come up with a twins website. Doesn’t project AMOC! fitzlab.shinyapps.io/cityapp/

So do we aim for ecosystems resilient to Green Spain/Southern France type weather or Northern Scandinavian habitats? Doing the same thing we have been doing for the last 75 years won’t work either way of course. Scientists sound alarm about event that could bring global devastation - The Independent

Happy GIS Day! Here's another 3D render of LC predictions in the Peak District from www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/15... We need accurate, detailed scalable data to measure habitat complexity and #30x30

Using computer vision and #MapReader software, we analysed the loss of field boundaries across the #PeakDistrict Since the 1950s, the White Peak has seen a 12% reduction-551 km lost from an original 4,814 km. A stark reminder of landscape change 📊🌿 storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5c89... #maps #GIS
