While the immediate focus remains on supporting those affected, we need long-term solutions to the increasingly dry landscapes that fuel wildfires – including encouraging a wetter and more dynamic mosaic of habitats. Read our full statement here: www.rewild.scot/news-and-blo... 🧵2/2

That’s all folks! 🏛️ Farewell to this session of the Scottish Parliament. It’s goodbye and good luck to MSPs standing down, and au revoir to those hoping to be re-elected in May. After a few days to take a breath, here are my reflections on our hustings and hopes for what comes next. 🧵

Scotland’s wildlife has questions ahead of the election. What would YOU ask candidates? This Friday, join us at the #HopeForNature hustings – online, or in person at Pitlochry Festival Theatre. Scotland's main political parties will be there to take your questions. hopefornature.eventbrite.co.uk

Hello Bluesky 👋 #ChooseOurFuture is this year’s #WorldRewildingDay theme – and with an election approaching, it couldn’t be more apt. Before Scotland heads to the polls, join us on 20 March at Pitlochry Festival Theatre for our #HopeForNature hustings . Free tickets: bit.ly/4smwwgr

Huge news for Scotland’s nature! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🌳🦅🪱 🍄 The Natural Environment Bill has officially been voted into law, marking a landmark victory for people and nature. 🧵 (1/4)

In 100 days, Scotland goes to the polls. 🗳️ I worry that this election will barely feature nature, with so much else - rightly - on people's minds. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the state of humanity, not to mention our declining natural world. 🧵

Three Steps to give Scotland’s rural communities a stake in the forests they live beside - Inside Ecology

Scotland has been shortchanging itself from its forests for decades, and a new Parliament must set a new course for everyone to benefit from one of our most valuable natural assets. That’s the message...

Really hope this question comes up at a #LynxToScotland event. 🐈

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

With 300+ amendments to the Natural Environment Bill lodged by MSPs, it’s clear politicians want to make their mark on Scotland’s nature laws. But will this bill put us on track to meet our international obligations to protect 30% of Scotland for nature and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems? 🌱🤔🧵

🧵 How long does it take to move a beaver 100 miles? Hours, by van, from one river catchment to another. Days or weeks, if you're making the beaver walk. (Don't try that.) In reality? 3 years. 🦫😱

Yesterday the Scottish Parliament voted for a new law requiring owners of large landholdings to publish plans to increase biodiversity - rather than maintain the status quo in a nature-depleted nation. 🥳 The Land Reform Bill may be weak, but it's a joy to see this one provision made stronger.

There’s no clearer way to show the people in power how important rewilding is than turning up on the doorstep of Holyrood with a hundred campaigners... and making some noise. 📣 Tomorrow, let’s call on Scotland's politicians to #StopStallingStartRewilding! 🌱🐾🌊🪸 Sign up: bit.pulse.ly/vgngy4fyli

By scrapping plans for a Galloway National Park, the Scottish Government has again proved it can't successfully plot a path to a wilder Scotland. We need leadership – not another retreat from meaningful action. Read the Scottish Rewilding Alliance statement here: rewild.scot/scrapping-pl...

Glad to see the Natural Environment Bill is here. Without the detail (to follow in subsequent legislation) it's too soon to say if it'll lead to the recovery of Scotland's land and seas. We need clear, ambitious and updatable targets for Scotland's ecosystems. ➡️ www.rewild.scot/clear-ambiti...

How popular and how well-proven does rewilding need to be before Scotland's government embraces it? We're told it's a flat 'no' to lynx reintroduction - but a poll released today shows that 61% of people in Scotland want a well-managed, legal reintroduction of lynx. So what's the bar? 🤷‍♀️

Articles like this one from @washingtonpost.com fail to connect the dots on land reform and rewilding, as well as misunderstanding what rewilding is by mixing it up with how it's funded. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu... Here are four of the dots that we need to draw some lines between... ⬇️
