Iberian orcas are suffering - we are just about to start our 2025 #SaveTheIberianOrca campaign and the first things we see…a youth male with deep propeller cuts and a female entangled in fishing gear…
Two weeks in the #Antarctic wrapped up in just over a minute. A massive thank you again to @ExplorEarthGo, @OceanwideExp and @Discoverth89459 for making this trip of a lifetime a reality! 🐧@DFMTalent

We are in a #ButterflyEmergency 🚨🦋
Newly released data has shown that 2024 was one of the worst years on record for butterflies in the UK, and more than half of butterfly species are now in long-term decline. 📉

Butterflies are sounding the alarm for nature
🚨🦋
2024 was one of the worst years on record for UK butterflies. If we are to restore nature and save our butterflies and moths we must act now.
Pledge to grow, not mow, this summer 👉 butterfly-conservation.org/m…

Crikey what a journey this has been. After a week of travelling, days spent battling through monster waves, and lots of card games with fellow Antarctic adventures, my boots have finally hit the ground and I’ve spent the morning surrounded by Gentoo penguins. 🐧 @ExplorEarthGo
Heathrow disruption ✅
Afternoon in the Hilton spa ✅
London to Madrid ✅
Next stop Buenos Aires ✈️
First rule of travelling to Antarctica - always pack your swim shorts!

Much rarer than white rhinos and in the midst of (another) dramatic population decline and yet very few people are talking about this and even less conservation action happening.
Well done @NatureNorthEast for a cracking shot and for giving this amazing bird a bit of limelight
Only a few weeks left before our Greenland White-fronts head back north.
Another year, another decrease in our wintering numbers, with only 3 juvenile birds observed amongst the flock.
Here’s hoping they have a more productive 2025 breeding season. 🤞

There’s just one week left for @SteveReedMP to make lead ammunition history.
We need him to know the public support a non-toxic future - will you join us in telling him to #BanLead once and for all?

Happy #WorldWhaleDay for yesterday everyone! I’ve just got back from an incredible weekend whale watching from the Cornish coast path with many other like minded whale spotters. Check out this #humpbackwhale breaching! 🐋

Toxic lead is banned in petrol, paint & pipes—but in 2025, it’s still in our food. 7K tonnes of lead ammo pollute our environment yearly, killing 100,000+ UK water birds. It’s time to #BanLead for good. Call on the Secretary of State now👉 lnkd.in/e25fxdcm

🍽️ In this restaurant, every meal is life-changing… but not for the right reasons.
Toxic lead has been banned from petrol, paint and pipes - but in 2025 it is still turning up on our plates.
Can you call on the Secretary of State to #BanLead for good?
