Legal battle coming soon spearheaded by Wild Justice & Badger Trust: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… If you’d like to hear more about BTb, the (small) role Badgers play in spreading it, and the resulting culls, then listen to Trees A Crowd tomorrow!

Good to get clearer signals from Labour as to where they stand on bTB; but, we must focus upon the “b” and the Farmers. This is not a war that can be won by scapegoating badgers. 🦡

Spending today prepping the release of next week's @TreesACrowdPod with M. G. Leonard. Open to any Beetle puns that you may have lying around...!

A few years ago I interviewed the head of the brilliant (and hugely successful) South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project. Now, to secure their long term future, they need a little help from you. Click here to see how you can help: goldeneaglessouthofscotland.co.uk/blog/urgent-fu…

My other half, NSPCC’s Childline Ambassador Natalie Dormer, has just released a podcast about Sex and Relationships Education, and how 46% of teachers don’t feel confident teaching it. If you’re a teacher or parent, it’s well worth a listen: learning.nspcc.org.uk/news/2024/sept…

Our progress report on #30x30 reveals the urgency for action needed to meet this critical target for wildlife. Since the target was set in 2020, land has languished at around 3% well protected for nature. Almost 10% of the sea is now safe from trawling. wcl.org.uk/assets/uploads…

Happy #NationalBadgerDay 🦡 🎉 Have celebrated by listening to Curlews where the rivers Truro and Tresilian meet. Not a badger in sight, but this year's theme of #NatureIsMyHappyPlace made seeking out the Wobbly Waders seem appropriate! #Brocktober #NBD24

Stilton has legal protection; our oldest Trees do not. To say nothing of biodiversity or carbon, ancient trees are aligned with our history, our identity and our culture. 🌳🌳🌳 Help the @WoodlandTrust now: woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-tre…

Looking forward to a special few days in Bandhavgarh National Park, and surrounding buffer zones, with Wildlife Trust of India. Especially looking forward to seeing in action the Rapid Action Projects (RAP) that David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation supports. (More info to follow on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/davido…)
