Nice to hear a wildlife conservation success story.

Over 7,000 ‘glow-in-the-dark' snails have been reintroduced to their French Polynesian island home as part of a zoo breeding programme to save them from extinction.

Wow there are vultures that are even worse than me for keeping old pairs of sandals - 700 years old.

🇪🇺 I’ve spent this year heading up the EU’s science & environment news service.
We review & explain all the latest science research & its policy relevance to politicians & decision makers across all EU & UK countries. It’s a free service to subscribers, run from Bristol.

🇪🇺 Today was my last day in my science editor job for the European Commission.
I’ve worked with some very lovely brilliant people and on some really interesting science - on wildlife conservation & environment.
I’m on my way home now, with nice gifts of flowers and… a new tent (random freebie!) 😃💐🥰

I’m so tired of hearing news I cannot change & feeling crippling guilt & anxiety for things I did not do.

It’s not my bad.
I do everything I can, I have for years.
It’s not my fault.
I’m not in power.
I vote against it.
My carbon footprint has been below 3 tonnes/pa for years.
I live simply.

Good piece. Spot on. The rapid rise of #Greens is a #Halloween horror to right wing media:

It amuses me how Polanski just trolls them. They can’t think of anything solid to say about his policies, so they resort to personal attacks.

Clarkson, what an intellectual amoeba.

You can see how rattled the Right & their media are about the exponential populist rise of Greens under Polanski:

- now ahead of Labour in the polls
- closing in on Tory membership
- 1115,000, rising fast

Recent figures show the Greens gaining rapidly on the Tories - membership this week has risen to 115,000, up more than 45% since Zack Polanski became leader.

Your Party has ~800,000 signed up supporters, but no declared membership yet, it’s too early to know that figure.

People in the nature sector are finally speaking up after staying silent for 2 whole years (and 75 more).

They ignored every single post i made on it even though loads of them follow me. I checked their feeds too. Nothing.

Please now walk the talk, otherwise it’s empty virtue signalling. 🙏

Us Brits collectively still need a huge mindset shift + actions to systematically recognise our colonial history & its ongoing legacy.
We need re-education. Most of us never learned it in school.
Israel’s atrocities largely fall on deaf ears because people look away & don’t join the dots.
An idea:

🦇 The legend that is Shirley Thompson just told me that people used to call the ‘common’ pipistrelle the ‘bandit’ - because of its dark face mask.

I love that. It’s a much better name than ‘common’ !
