Meet Tim, #WittenhamClumps is his special place in nature.🌱
As a child, he climbed its hills, and now, as a ranger, he's caring for this extraordinary landscape.
Please donate today and help us protect this much cherished place: ow.ly/ku7i50VCUni 🙏

We need political parties to prioritise nature & reverse the decline of ecosystems (which underpin all life) #RestoreNatureNow #Election2024
#itvdebate what are the parties doing to address the nature crisis? Nature underpins the whole of life on earth, we're losing species at record rates and risk ecosystem collapse - but the parties are hardly mentioning it

This is why we need legislation to stop peat extraction for horticulture. #peatfree
I don't usually name & shame but this appals me. This is Auchencloss Moss, Midlothian - once a carbon-absorbing #peat bog, now being stripped for use in potting compost for gardeners. William Sinclair trades as Westland. Licence to extract runs till 2042. #notinmyname #gopeatfree

Incredible bird survey at our #rewilding sites yesterday! Goshawk, woodcock & merlin all new records at #WilderLittleDuxmore & SE owl at #WilderNunwell. Great to see new species using the sites, nature is returning! Snaps of other species seen & an Exmoor pony of course!
Restoring missing wildlife such as wlidebeest, wolves, beavers, bison, whales and marine fish to their former abundance is one if the most powerful and important things we can do to reverse dangerous climate change #wilding

Campaigners have been very successful in making the narrative about climate change,” said @TonyJuniper “What is less obvious, but just as urgent, is the parallel crisis in terms of the decline of nature"
