Infantino told Trump that the World Cup in the USA is “the greatest human event mankind has ever witnessed”. There’ll be 80,000 people in attendance at the World Cup Final today. There’ll be 82,000 at the All-Ireland final in Dublin today.

Conservationist through and through, think I have green blood. My passions are trees and seas: I’m a Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) leader and a BSAC Marine Champion. I love the underwater world: exploring and conserving it and spending time with sharks
#winterwatch is a brilliant way of highlighting the wonders of nature to children, young people, adults ie everyone. In our #naturedepleted country we need more of these programmes not less. I urge people to sign this petition & demand #morenature on TV tinyurl.com/yc67ruzx
Tell the BBC: Save Winterwatch!
The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:

As the UK enters its third heatwave of the year it couldn't be clearer: we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels. We'd like to remind Andy Burnham that approving new oil and gas licences is a climate crime. It won't deliver energy security and it won't take a penny off our bills.
Please sign this petition to stop the sale of silly plastic rings that end up round seals’ necks and severely injure or kill then. Having spent time in the water with these beautiful creatures they really don’t deserve this. Let’s ban the silly rings and save seals 🩶🦭🩶 c.org/SWWfQ4MTfn

Stop the import and sale of flying rings that cause pain, suffering and death to seals

A £5 million "unconditional gift" from a crypto billionaire. A promise to launch a crypto revolution in Britain. Yeah, nothing to see here from Nigel "nine-jobs, five-houses" Farage. 👀
To be a @bsacdivers.bsky.social Marine Champion is an honour. When the seas reward your dive trip with a visitor like this, it’s truly humbling. Being graced by the presence of a beautiful gentle giant made me cry. People who don’t care about nature really need to get up close to it 🩶🦈 #baskingshark
@bbcspringwatch.bsky.social a fluff of ducklings - new collective noun 😀 from Helen Mitchem at the Lawn park in Sutton in Ashfield
Did anyone else see the #redsquirrel on the BBC’s #Springwatch article on Monday? Michela Strachan said “in this woodland in the heart of Derbyshire”and then there was a red squirrel…….This is news to me! It’s totally inaccurate isn’t it?!?
Why do news reports rarely talk about the impacts of #climatechange on wildlife? Look how the poor #peregrines in Nottingham were struggling this week! As I write this, the young one came & looked directly into the camera at us, saying “Come on humans, sort this out”! @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social
Some more photos from our #BSACMarineChampions Action Weekend, this time from Exeter BSAC. 🤿 The group completed a litter pick at Babbacombe, collecting 10 kilos of fishing weights, 2 kilos of fishing line, half a fishing rod(!), and several lightweight crab pots. 👏 Well done all! 💪
A good news story 😊 Leave the sea bed alone and nature works its magic (or just does its usual thing) news.mongabay.com/short-articl... #nobottomtrawling #marinelife #leavetheseaslone #marinechampions
Seabed life triples after bottom trawling ban in Scotland protected area
Nearly a decade since Scotland established the South Arran Marine Protected Area and banned bottom trawling across much of it, life on the seafloor has thrived, a new study has found. Scientists surve...

The #UKgovernment publicly supports pausing #deepseamining yet has handed out exploration licences to #glomarminerals WHY? There’s no need. Companies like BMW & Samsung have committed to keep deep sea #minerals out of supply chains. Recycling: better option. @greenpeace.eu are taking them to court 🙌🏼

An appreciation of a blackbird in my local nature reserve #birdsong #liftsthespirits
How ironic, a “pardon the weeds” sign in a oh so neat, trimmed & tidied area along the ring road …. which contractor mows these #nottinghamcitycouncil areas & why?! @stevebattlemuch.bsky.social can you enquire please (3rd photo is my garden where all pollinators, birds & hedgehogs are welcome)
Being part of a great team: what a dream….. no it’s real life! The Wollaton Hall & Park Walled Garden open day yesterday was stunning in the sun. Hundreds of people came through our welcoming gates & enjoyed all the fruits & flowers of our labours. It’s happening again today too! @fowp.bsky.social
Proud to be an active volunteer with the Friends of Wollaton Park. We are great people and we do great things in our great park @fowp.bsky.social
We need to win big on May 7. Thousands of Green candidates are standing across England and Wales. This is a real chance to change politics - to give communities a stronger voice and challenge parties backed by big money. Support the campaign 👉 crowdfunder.co.uk/p/we-deserve...
What a wonderful symphony and array of bird calls in my little urban garden to wake up to this morning 💚 Canada geese just flew over too 😀 #feedthebirds and they will come
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Proud of myself and the many other women who ran the #nottingham10k #RaceForAll today on #internationalwomensday There were some hills and it was a challenge but that’s what life should be all about. I especially enjoyed the sound of hundreds of pairs of feet on the pavement rather than tyres 😊
