This 👇 from Wild Justice is very welcome I do not know how the Govt can continue to claim that the bill is a "win-win" for development and nature, when not a single nature policy geek I know, or The Office for Environmental Protection agrees theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Is there anyone else out there who looks at this cruelty and thinks why ? These great fish return or come in response to changing climate and all we can do is kill them for novelty markets that are uncaringly insignificant.

apple.news/Ac6TRdJVqQ-Sve…. The problem with much of the predation is that we have so stripped the landscape of life that very little now remains for much else to eat other than our livestock or crops.

Knepp Castle today. Presentation on possibility of reintroducing black veined white butterflies. Habitat great. No risks of consequence. We should be moving on fast.

Day was however about red backed shrike breeding for reintroduction. There is little doubt that the technical bits can be done and that much habitat exists or can be created. Time to make a start ?

It would make you laugh if it wasn't so serious. Yesterday I attended a conference where health screening butterflies came to ÂŁ37,000 - no serious conditions since the dawn of time have ever arisen from them - but kissing a farm calf could kill you. Wildlife is not the problem.

Halwill, Beaworthy, Devon EX21. If anyone out there is interested this is stunning bit of wildlife rich land. We at Keep It Wild can't buy due to other commitments. If sold for farming it's destruction will be guaranteed. kivells.com/properties/HAG…

Turtle Doves Trust - Sandringham Estate. Courageous project. In a time of much talk this is a good initiative. Wild population circa 2000 perhaps this project will help reinforce and extend the population. sandringhamestate.co.uk/turtle-doves-t…

The problem with this is that it's nonsense. Sheep farming on an industrial scale with pesticides is barely half a century old. There is no real basis other than one that's made up to suggest that it's at scale anything other than a blight.

If you want to change landscapes for nature in a fashion that's radical no one does it better than the Dutch. If your tired of sitting between the horns of a dilemma come with us in September to see.
