I think they blocked you @LandEthics so thought you might enjoy this 😂
Yet again no mention by @RSPB_Birders that the hen harrier population is at a 200-year high in England, thanks in large part to the efforts of grouse moor owners and keepers #henharrier

Delighted to announce our #SocMedHE24 keynote is Professor Amanda Taylor-Beswick @AMLTaylor66 blogs.shu.ac.uk/socmedhe/key…
Which can be interpreted as they’re a threat to the 40 million or so game birds released in the UK each year, which do negatively impact wildlife.

Brilliant field visit to the Bavarian Forest National Park with @LifescapeProj, talking about wolf and lynx conservation and the impacts of spruce bark beetle…for once a national park that is genuinely IUCN WCPA Cat.2!
What is suggested here is restoration - regen-agriculture, nothing wrong with either approach…BUT most rewilding definitions include a recognition of ‘self-willed land’. Continually calling any form of conservation activity rewilding dilutes meaning @LandEthics @markwilderness
Nice BBC clip of our WTE project - well done @RMFrancksen @LifescapeProj Debs, with the usual brilliant mapping work by @LandEthics
Interesting to see rewilding identified as one of the ‘big missing areas’ from the IUCN 20 year vision at #RCF24ENCA Bruges

Great to be in Bruges and representing @IUCN_CEM for the IUCN ECNA - inspirational start from our DG Dr Grethel Aguilar, IUCN needs to be bolder when making the case for nature. Regional Conservation Forum engage.iucn.org/group/europe…

Wonderful WTE translocation engagement day at @CumbriaUni @RMFrancksen Ambleside with @LifescapeProj @lakedistrictnpa Tim Duckmanton, @Natures_Voice and Northumberland Wildlife Trust - hopefully we’ll see these wonderful birds back in Cumbria
…farmers outnumber conservation experts by two to one, nature rarely on agenda at board meetings, only one national park can account for the ownership of all the land it covers…as we’ve been saying for years! @markwilderness @LandEthics theguardian.com/environment/…
