Seawilding is a community led charity that has come together on the west of Scotland to action real change. They figured out how they could help in a biodiversity & climate crisis & set about restoring 2 keystone species to the sea beyond their village.

Every now & again, it's useful to say why I do all these eel history tweets.

Mostly, it's because eels need our help. They're critically endangered, seeing a c.90% drop in population in the last decades.

But it's hard to get people to care! 'Cause...eels are gross & slimy. 1/2

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project."

Read that again: **116** times.

A big welcome to @saveourwildcats.bsky.social

Definitely an initiative worth following!
They’re doing great work restoring wildcats to the Cairngorms.

I’ve had the great privilege of seeing one of the released cats just 5 minutes from home! That was an exciting day. 🙌🏻
