Maybe this doesn't sound too scary - after all, it's possible to survive without broccoli 🥦. But think about the farmers: The #climate crisis can affect livelihoods.
And why are many of us happier to accept changes imposed on us by the climate crisis than to accept measures to limit the crisis?

Nice - so important to get farmers on board. And the map is quite cool!
Farming heroes are saving wildlife! 🦋🚜
Across the UK farmers are proving that nature-friendly farming works – helping threatened species thrive while producing food.
But they need government support to make it last.

Really nice article about reading #animal tracks in the #snow! The photo "Wing marks left by a bird of prey successfully catching a mouse" is fascinating - the tracks tell a whole dramatic story.
Snow blankets much of the UK so it’s time to roll out my ‘tracking animals in the snow’ article once again 🌨️🐾
