Macroeconomics affect conservation on the ground. The surge in gold prices drove unregulated mining in Ghana's forest reserves. @mongabay.com report on the fightback led by local NGOs.
Successful campaign proves Ghana’s forests are worth more than gold (commentary)
On Dec. 10, 2025, Ghana’s government revoked one of the worst pieces of environmental legislation in our country’s history. The Environmental Protection (Mining in Forest Reserves) Regulations passed ...

Sorry to hear Nick. In dozens of visits I made to Beddington in the late 1980s I rarely failed to bump into Gary there. He was the first patch devotee I knew.

Interesring! I'm sure I just didn't understand this well enough but I'm unclear whether they found a correlation of growth rate variance with temp itself or with changing temp. Is it the temp itself or is it the fact the temp is changing that would drive the increased variance

Climate warming is generally making trees grow faster, but the greater effect is that tree growth is becoming more unpredictable, creating a threat to the stability of forests. New paper by Li & He (2026). 🧪🌏🌐🌲🌳

In recent decades, considerable research has focused on the long-term trend of tree growth rates under global warming, yet little attention has been paid to trends in high-frequency tree growth varia...

The swan pic looks like an innocent mistake, but important lesson to understand when a once basic function like lighten or sharpen is now done with "generative" methods.

✂️ Yesterday I finally responded to @agakowalska.bsky.social’s challenge to make a collage from a single piece of packaging. I present to you a green (tea) woodpecker, made from a big Yorkshire Tea box. It was fun and I’ll be rooting through our recycling bin for more materials later on ♻️

I often get asked about the Miyawaki method of forest restoration, usually by people who have heard extraordinary claims for it. Morales et al. (2025) have reviewed the evidence and found it to be weak or absent. 🌏🧪🌳🌲 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We saw all but one of Palawan's 27 endemic birds in just three days. In fact we saw 24 of them on our first day thanks to able guiding by John Stephen Tuboc ("Step"). Far easier birding than on Luzon.

After a three hour wait in a hide in the forest I admit to a fair level of excitement when this male Palawan Peacock Pheasant stepped out of the gloom. He didn't stay long.
Massive appreciation to Birdwing folks who only opened the hide in January #birds 1/2

Does coppicing actually extend its life, or just make it appear young again? It was impenetrable at the base so was not remotely "leggy". Asking for some owls who preferred it old and bushy!

Thanks. The livestock grazing, and the mowing when not grazed, are all very effective at preventing any woody encroachment. In a pasture like this you will struggle to find a single woody volunteer away from the hedge line. I'm sure it can't be that. Would you agree @richardkbroughton.bsky.social ?
