🌊Happy World Aquatic Animal Day🌊 Aquatic animals are often hidden from us, which could mean we forget about them. But climate change impacts all of us, even the hidden creatures under water. Today is the day to research some facts about the animals living in the water! #worldaquaticanimalday

🌷Happy International Women's Day!🌷 Today, we celebrate the phenomenal women of our Climate Change Special Interest Group. We are truly proud to have so many women on board. Thank you for all your hard work! #womeninscience

Today our ECR coffee morning met and discussed the interactions of rewilding and climate science, with conversation sparked around land management, complexities of nature-based solutions, and how to move towards a rewilding career path for those soon graduating! 📆 Next ECR coffee morning: 1st May!

Another month, another ECR coffee morning! ☕ This week we will be continuing the discussion from last month about climate change and rewilding. So come and join us! When: Friday 6th March at 10-11am GMT. Where: Zoom (register with the link bellow) Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
