Definitely sharing this. Valid points, very well made. Jezza Clarkson and a whole bunch of politicians might also benefit from considering this letter.

BASC has won a High Court challenge against Natural England's restrictions on mass-releasing of birds to shoot* near sensitive habitats (Special Protection Areas). basc.org.uk/basc-wins-hi... *No such thing as a 'gamebird'. No species evolved with a target on it.

The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a shame, especially when we need to be connecting with nature more than ever. If we want people to protect our wildlife, we have to show them it! Add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

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:

Huge congrats to @jasboparai.bsky.social on what I'm sure will be an essential book for an underworked group. But absolute shame on CABI & @royentsoc.bsky.social for their new pricing. £125 for a 25-species handbook is unreasonable and will prevent it from reaching its deserved audience.

Nice article in today's @theguardian.com about native wildlife on banknotes www.theguardian.com/business/202...
