Natures Temper

After being told that I care too much about ancient woodland & not enough about the economy, I have decided to cut back on the amount of idiots I listen to

He's not your representative. He represents the oligarchs. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The electrical revolution is happening - across several domains - faster and further than almost anyone dared predict. And any country that does not embrace it will be left in the fossil age.

“Every year, we unleash this scourge on the countryside. It’s messing with the ecology.” Delighted to see David Attenborough’s new series will tackle pheasants, and how landowners release millions of them each year! (The words are from Attenborough’s producer) www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

@johnswinney.bsky.social when will you denounce the unsustainable and quite frankly evil giga hunt?

We’re preparing to launch a pioneering Missing Species Programme to bring back four of Scotland’s lost keystone animals – lynx, beavers, red squirrels, and modern-day aurochs – to the Scottish Highlands. Read more 👉https://bit.ly/49kEjFo

On my way to teach why wolves are our best friend

Reform propaganda-fest has to end. We need government to respond to our call for proper coverage of ALL our parties by our broadcasters. Sign now & pass round like your life depends on it because really it does. democracy at stake! 6k needs to be 10k by sep13 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

NEW STUDY: Support for the ESA has held steady at ~84% for 30 years. 58% want stronger protections. 65% back permanent safeguards. Conservative opposition? Down 50%. The attacks on the ESA aren’t public-driven—they’re political. Take action for the ESA: TeamWolf.Org

Thank you to Mexico 🇲🇽 for stepping up and helping in Texas!

The Bald Eagle only exists today because we protected it—fully, consistently, without apology. Now imagine if wolves were given that same chance. The ESA works. The question is whether we have the tenacity to defend it. Take action: teamwolf.org

I know a kelpie when I see one

Together with partners in New York, the Rewilding Institute has been hard at work to advance a bill that will provide greater protections for #wolves in New York by enabling the Department of Environmental Conservation to collect critical genetic data from large canids taken by hunters & trappers.

Keep up the great work LA, no room for fascism in a civilized world!

1. It’s good to see this scandal being called out at last. My thanks and congratulations go to Lee Schofield, Karen Lloyd and Ian Convery. But it’s also absolutely infuriating that it has come to this point, as I explain in this thread. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Killing wolves to stop livestock attacks doesn't work. In fact, research suggests it could result in an increase in attacks. Killing wolves is counterproductive, cruel,and unsustainable. Non-lethal methods are more effective. #ProtectWolves #StandforWolves www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...

Genius. Must watch.

The future of driven grouse shooting will be debated in the Westminster parliament on 30 June. Many thanks to all who made this possible. #grouse #burning #raptor #killing #floods #smoke #climate #ghg #peat #nationalparks #defra

This is beyond evil. Dog, wolf or not this behaviour should be met with the harshest punishment possible. If I didn't want to maintain some air of professionalism, I would happily detail what I'd wish to do to this weak, pathetic little "man" creature.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DJp... Made a fun video with the guys over at Celtic Rewilding exploring the species effected by historic wetland drainage and what could one day return to the wilds one day.

This week, the EU Parliament is voting to downgrade the protection status of wolves, despite a clear lack of scientific evidence. To do so, it has to open up the Habitats Directive, a 30-year-old law that protects our nature. ✊ We can't let this happen. Keep your #HandsOffNature.

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

🌱 It’s inspiring to see so many brilliant rewilding projects taking part in this year’s @biggive.bsky.social's Green Match Fund Appeal – including several of our friends from the Rewilding Network. 📸: Pierre Leclerc / Shutterstock

Demand a wilder future for England's land ✊ Right now, the UK Government is working on the first-ever vision for how we use land in England – the Land Use Framework. 🧵1/4

Keep Wilderness Wild! Stop Congress from stripping federal Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves across the entire Lower 48 states. 🐺 —> wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/hr845-wolf-esa

Utter disgrace. For those who missed it, these anti-protest laws were actually written by an oil industry funded lobby group. www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mone...

Only one month to go until DEFRA closes its land use consultation!🌳 Submit your response here before 25th April ‼️ : buff.ly/mwXjCSB For guidance, check out our friend @guyshrubsole.bsky.social’s response here: buff.ly/9U8rtyS #Rewilding #LandUseFramework

In defiance of international rules, our used tyres are exported to India, to be pyrolysed at vast cost to workers' health & air quality. The government sits on its hands. At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we want to mount a crowdfunded challenge. Could you help? 🧵 stop-uk-tyre-exports.raiselysite.com

The government’s Land Use consultation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to intervene in this critical issue. Here’s my response to it. Please feel free to borrow / copy & paste as much as you want. It’s crucial that we engage. www.monbiot.com/2025/03/23/f... 1/3 🧵

Happy #worldrewildingday To celebrate I created a 1+ hour long video on English wolf restoration based on my thesis. If that sounds interesting to you, please enjoy: youtu.be/AWuOaUjdbPM?...

But hey, at least the tanker didn't block any roads.

This is terrible. Discarded by-catch resulting from near shore bottom trawling in Scotland. Destructive, wasteful, and should be banned outright...

Exciting news from our @asrainforest.bsky.social partners @scotwildlife.bsky.social. This acquisition offers huge opportunity for ancient semi-natural woodland & other critically important yet declining habitats in #Scotlandsrainforest. We wish them well 👏🌳👏

At last! Beaver releases into wild to be allowed in England for first time in centuries Big congrats to the rewilders, nature-friendly farmers, & campaigners who’ve fought for this for so long. And credit where it’s due - thanks to Labour for pressing go! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@haltonbc.bsky.social I'm all for tree planting, but why do you waste time and money putting tree guards on saplings in areas where there are no rabbits or deer?

Beautiful signs of biodiversity in the Forest of Dean. Boar truly are a keystone species that the rest of our woodlands surely need. 🐗

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

I'm having a lovely time here in Gloucester. Unfortunately didnt see any boar. It was great to talk to a fellow hiker at RSPB Nagshead in the Forest of Dean who suggested we bring wolves back to the area before I even mentioned it! The desire for these animals is abundant in the general public! 🐗🐺

Such great news! dailygalaxy.com/2025/02/from...

NEW! Restoring predators, restoring ecosystems. "Our findings emphasize the power of predators as ecosystem architects," ⁦‪ @johnswinney.bsky.social phys.org/news/2025-02...

@johnswinney.bsky.social why are you a coward that refuses to acknowledge the importance of wild native predators? Grow a spine and realise humans cannot replace the jobs of wild cornerstone species. Listen to experts and the common person. WE. WANT. LYNX.

Stop Musk! This petition to prevent overseas billionaires meddling in our politics is now at *94,000* signatures - having leapt up from just 30k a day ago. It’s *so close* now to triggering a parliamentary debate - let’s get it over the 100k mark by the end of today! bsky.app/profile/guys...
