Excellent panel yesterday on "pathways to a biodiverse future". @guyshrubsole.bsky.social started with a celebration of what we can experience as abundant nature, despite all the bad news and shifting baseline. Sights of (here Devon) temperate rainforest fragments & lichens always cheer me up!

I really enjoyed this podcast with @jemgilbert.bsky.social and @profafinlayson.bsky.social I came to it for insights into British politics, I stayed for the regressions. But it was the discussion on the crisis of liberalism that kept me through it.
