Most people think of the international ocean as a lifeless void. But it's the planet's last great wilderness, covering 43% of the globe's surface and hosting vast multitudes of life. Time to protect it forever, before it's too late. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

The thing about the AI tsunami is you can’t say exactly when it arrives, only that it has arrived
Just so everyone knows, we have passed the point where you can tell what is AI at a glance (or even, in many cases, a close look) These were all made by me with text prompts alone using Veo 3.

Happy Bank Holiday! Just something gentle and sweet to start your week: We often think of hedgehogs as spikey balls, but the truth is hedgehogs only curl into a ball to defend themselves; so when they are frightened, or during hibernation. What we normally never get to see is that they sleep like little dogs; laying on their side, stretching their toes. And they groom themselves very much like cats.

Thanks so much Kate, for your kindness in being an ambulance for these poor little creatures. You're absolutely right. It has been the worst year ever for hedgehogs. There have been no butterflies, as we've destroyed their overwintering places, meaning no caterpillars - which make up almost half a hedgehog's diet. And no beetles, which make up most of the remainder of their diet. The lack of beetles isn't as easy to spot unless you know that ground beetles are the slugs' natural predator, so their demise means unrestricted slug populations - which everyone has noticed. And yet, despite all this evidence of our own eyes, despite every rescue in the country being overwhelmed by starving, emaciated, dying hedgehogs, there are STILL some self-appointed 'experts' insisting that hedghogs eat slugs! You're right, we must do better. Call out these spreaders of misinformation. Until everyone understands that hedgehogs don't eat slugs, and that we need to change our gardening habits to stop killing the hedgehog's real food, they will continue to suffer and die. @WildlifeTrusts @WildLondon @PTES @hedgehogsociety @frithinwood xitter.cf/HedgehogCabin/status/1…
This tiny little baby girl is Noa. Noa weighs just 99 grams. She's suffering from severe malnutrition and starvation because we've destroyed her natural food. She should be stuffing herself with caterpillars, but look around. How many butterflies have you seen this year? Until nature can recover (which means all of us have to act responsibly and allow our gardens to be less controlled, more natural and wild) we need to provide food for these gentle, trusting, silent victims of our excesses. See how just a little cat food animates this poor starving scrap of life? You could be saving a life like this, tonight, in your garden. This is Royal Canin Mother and Babycat food soaked in warm water; a special food because poor baby Noa is so malnourished and weak. But any cat or dog food is great; wet or dry, as long as meat is the first listed ingredient. Dry kitten food is perfect. Thankfully baby Noa made it through the night, but is still very fragile and her recovery is uncertain. There are so many baby Noas out there right now, in the desert of decking and manicured lawns, desperately seeking just a little kindness. Please be their oasis tonight.

If this doesn't put a smile on your face, nothing will. Just look at this happy little baby!🥹 This is the same day I cut Parish free; his first night. The little darling can drink and drink to his heart's content, without feeling strangled, without pain or fear of choking. His poor misshapen head will gradually recover from the terrible constriction. And just look how happy and excited he is, bedmaking! On his first night! 😊 He's already decided he loves this new safe place where he can walk without fear and eat and drink when he wants, and is making it home. His infected wounds smelt a little better this morning, and with diligent management, keeping them moist and clean, they should heal in time.

Later today Rishi Sunak will consolidate his anti-woke credentials, by outlining his plan to make Songs of Praise compulsory viewing twice a day for teenagers.
