All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up.
Nature isn't just 'nice to have'.
Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems.

This is why the #CANBill matters. It offers an integrated framework, treating #climate and #nature as the linked crises they are—with accountability mechanisms across government. The @zero-hour.bsky.social alliance has been building support since 2020. Now there's an even stronger case for the Bill.

The UK Government just released its national security assessment on #biodiversity loss: an actual intelligence assessment using the same frameworks as military threat analysis. The conclusion? #Nature is a foundation of national security and every critical #ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse. 🧵

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn
Ecosystem destruction will increase food shortages, disorder and mass migration, with effects already being felt
The global attack on nature is threatening the UK’s national security, government intelligence chiefs have warned, as the increasingly likely collapse of vitally important natural systems would bring mass migration, food shortages and price rises, and global disorder.
Food supplies are particularly at risk, as “without significant increases”, the UK would be unable to compete with other nations for scarce resources, a report to ministers warns. Continue reading...

It might sound silly, but I mean it: The easiest and most potent way for Europe to hurt Trump this year is to once again use its cultural soft power and to threaten a boycott of the World Cup. It would become a completely meaningless event and would hurt him where he is most vulnerable - his vanity.

It is dreadful to hear of the loss of human life. But it also breaks my heart when only the human death toll is recorded.
These wildfires will have killed countless other species and caused them enormous suffering and habitat loss. We show life on earth so little thought, respect and care.

Fires blaze through 8,500 hectares, forcing 50,000 people to evacuate as firefighters struggle to extinguish flames
Wildfires raging across central and southern Chile have killed at least 15 people, scorched thousands of acres of forest and destroyed scores of homes, authorities said, as the South American country swelters under a heatwave.
Chile’s president, Gabriel Boric, declared a state of catastrophe in the country’s central Biobío region and the neighbouring Ñuble region, about 500km (300 miles) south of Santiago, the capital. Continue reading...

Here's what Shakespeare actually wrote in around 1596 about the loss of a son - in King John.
In the play, the young Prince Arthur isn't dead yet, but his mother knows she will never see him again.
For me, this is far more moving and pertinent than anything in Hamnet.

This fox has been visiting my garden since she was a cub. It’s lovely that she still feels safe here. And she rubs along very well with my two cats - they don’t seem to bother each other at all!

Wincing at Michael Gove describing Kemi Badenoch as ‘feisty’ and ‘sassy’.
Do not use adjectives to describe a woman’s character which you would not use to describe a man’s. It sounds patronising and screams sexism. Urgh.
