Bit of a “phew!” moment for those whose eyes are open to species decline but still much to do! This is why our leaders must know that we care about nature and that we feel investing in halting nature loss is well worth the money. #COP6 #NatureLoss www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s been a long time coming but certainly something to celebrate. 🍾🎉 #beavers #rewilding www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Whether you knit, paint, sculpt or sew: we need you!🧵🎨 As part of our #RewildTheChurch campaign, we're sending crafted animals to the Church Commissioners. Get inspired by our brand new craftivist pack here: buff.ly/3QXkMAt #RewildTheChurch #Craftivism

“The 24 species of British bumblebee play a vital role in pollinating crops and wildflowers, making their decline a major ecological concern.” We have taken from nature for far too long - it’s time to recognise all that it does for us and start to give something back. It’s time to rewild!

The government is still subsidising Drax to clear fell and import trees on a massive scale. There are far healthier things that this money could be spent on.

Wild species are ecosystem engineers - more so than we ever thought before. We love how we are learning all the time how important all creatures great and small are! We need to let them do their thing by rewilding! www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/02/firs...

Yesterday was the year anniversary of our talk 'Rewilding Nature on Dartmoor: A Way Forward' It was such a wonderful evening, full of inspiring speakers, that facilitated an open conversation about the Dartmoor we love. One year on, there have been a few big updates: 🧵 #Rewilding #Dartmoor

“Many of the nations gathering in Rome for Cop16 have offered no plans to honour their agreement to protect 30% of land and sea for nature” More evidence, if you need it, that international environmental agreements are so easily reneged upon www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Populations of wading birds are in serious decline. There are many causes - habitat destruction, over harvesting of shell fish, disease - exposure to PFAS is yet another assault on the health of these vulnerable birds. 🧵 1/6 phys.org/news/2025-02...

Our peatlands are special places. They need restoring not destroying. Let’s get to is petition up to 4,000 this weekend. #ForPeat #Rewild petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

"[Sitka plantations are] the reason people in our county were without power for 19 days." The Irish county most infested by alien monoculture deadzones - Leitrim - has had enough. Time to ditch this disastrous forestry model. www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Last week Wild Intrigue gave us a tour of the amazing beaver dams over at @nationaltrust.bsky.social Wallington. Efforts like these to restore ecosystems are testament to the importance of rewilding. These wetlands are thriving! Thank you for having us!💚 #Rewilding #NationalTrust

Spot on flea treatment is impacting our environment. Some good advice in this article. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What everyone who pays attention to nature already knows -- "The world is failing on a vital deal to halt biodiversity loss." In fact, we're actively destroying biodiversity faster than ever in human history. 🌏 theconversation.com/with-just-5-...

“There is an increasing acknowledgment that the climate and biodiversity crises cannot be managed in isolation. We need to look at the potential role of natural processes such as the reintroduction of species to recover our degraded ecosystems” www.theguardian.com/environment/... #wolves #rewild

“We need to reverse the collapse in biodiversity, before it threatens our own survival. Without pollinators or healthy soil micro-organisms, we won’t be able to grow enough food to feed ourselves.” Henry Dimbleby speaking about the land use policy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As you spend this #ValentinesDay  being pampered by the one's you love, remember all nature does for you, too. Beaver reintroduction and peatland restoration have been proven to prevent flooding. By rewilding our natural landscapes, let's show nature some love🦫 💚

💯 this and, don’t forget that, by helping address climate change and biodiversity loss, #rewilding is a contributor to food security

Spotted today at @kneppwilding.bsky.social: Storks following the pigs, taking advantage of the upturned soil which exposes a range of invertebrates to feast on! Elsewhere, these clever birds have learned to follow tractors and ploughs for foraging opportunities! 📷George Wallbridge #rewilding

Rewilding is urgently needed to minimise the impact of fires on our landscapes - this from @rewildingbritain.org.uk explains why. Simply put: healthy, diverse natural ecosystems, which in Ireland usually means wet, do not burn well or for long. www.rewildingbritain.org.uk/why-rewild/b...

Is Rachel Reeves more important than a newt or a bat? While they support our ecosystems, Rachel Reeves supports a third runway at Heathrow. We know what side we're on. While the rights of each person are important, so are those of our fellow creatures. #TeamBat #TeamNewt

We need #rewilding not non native plantations. “Ecologically, it’s a disaster because these places are dead zones. It’s a disaster for local communities in areas like Leitrim where people … end up surrounded and hemmed in by these walls of dark deadness,” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Happy World Wetlands Day! 🥳 💚Wetlands play an essential role in carbon capture and preventing biodiversity loss so protecting wetlands is vital for our common future. 🧵 #WetlandsForOurCommonFuture #WWD2025  #WorldWetlandDay

Wild Card support Green infrastructure as vital to addressing the climate crisis but we also must be sensitive to the biodiversity crisis. Peatland is a significant habitat for a number of protected species and slows water flow to sustain flora, fauna & fungi petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
