When Brewdog admitted failure and sold off their rewilding project, there was at least hope that it had passed into competent hands. No such luck.
‘Unashamedly capitalist’ rewilders claim ‘Moneyball’ approach could make millions – but experts sceptical
Rich Stockdale says model of ‘regenerative capitalism’ would maximise profits by planting trees, restoring peatlands, and installing windfarms across its estates

A very good write up on the current dispute with 4 weeks of strike action already at Sheffield uni over cuts & restructuring. All of this could have been avoided but Uni management is escalating with threat of 💯 pay deductions in the New Year ⬇️ www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/wont-work-ca...

Can we find a middle ground between those who see the EU's wolf downlisting as a catastrophe and those who celebrate it as good news? With @hannalp.bsky.social, we discuss the frustratingly polarised debate about wolf conservation in the EU. 🌍🦤🧪🦊

Podcast episode cover art for Tommy's Outdoors Conservation and Science featuring a woman with glasses and dark hair pulled back, wearing a black blazer over a white top, smiling while looking downward in an indoor setting. The episode title 'EU Wolf Downlisting: Time to Stop Crying Wolf' appears in white and gold text on a dark olive green overlay in the lower left corner. The design uses an olive green background with gold border framing, and includes 'PODCAST' text at the bottom.

Good to know but sadly that’s how it reads: ‘academia is failing’ rather than ‘neoliberal university is failing’. It’s a gift to those who wish to see us destroyed.

ill advised & uninformed post - insulting and uncaring. UK Academia has been systematically eroded and now being actively dismantled with zero help coming from gvt. Our uni has been on strike for 3 weeks over massive cuts to programmes & staff. People in power: 🦗 🦗🦗🦗I expect better from the Greens
