SHOCKING 🚨: The UK just had its worst wildfire year on record.
47,000 hectares burned while firefighters were drafted from across the country to supplement under resourced local crews.
A safe future starts with funding the people on the frontline.

Can beaver wetlands create a buzz and a flutter for pollinators? 🦫🦋
A new study, carried out by Senior Ecologist Patrick Cook for his PhD at the University of Stirling, revealed that wetlands created by beavers have 45% more butterflies than those created by people.

This is part of a political and media culture that seeks to delegitimise climate activism, while powerful aviation lobbies spread disinformation and silence dissent. 1/2
