In 21/22 I was very lucky to be sent to the jungles of the DRCongo to film bonobos with the brilliant Queens team from @WildstarFilms. Spending time with such majestic animals was unforgettable. #NatGeoQueens premieres today on @DisneyPlus. Check it out

Great chance to see Gaza on the big screen. It was Ireland's entry for Best International Feature Oscar in 2020.
All proceeds from this screening on November 26 will be donated to AMJAAD to provide urgent humanitarian aid in Gaza. You can also donate here: gofund.me/83c115
This beautiful film by Irish filmmakers Garry Keane & Andrew McConnell is a portrait of everyday Gazan citizens, leading meaningful lives beyond the rubble of perennial conflict.

🐸🐸🐸 Great work by local #NPWS management. There has been some successful metamorphosing at some #natterjack #ponds this summer, but other sites dried up early and these captive reared #toadlets will help keep those populations ticking over. 🐸🐸 @HerpSocIreland @Notice_Nature

The proposal from the @EPPGroup to kill the Nature Restoration Law entirely was rejected.
Some amendments to the text are worrying but there is still hope for nature and the vote continues on the 27th June.
