I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

It is with great sadness that we have been informed of the passing of the remarkable Dr. Jane Goodall, age 91, who died of natural causes in Los Angeles, CA while on her speaking tour in the United States.

The humble Peppered Moth is found in UK gardens, yet its amazing story has made it famous all over the world!

The story has been brought to life in this beautiful animation, created by Sarah Hoyle and voiced by Youth Panel member @senizdoesnature.bsky.social.

Rusted screws, metal spikes and plastic rubbish: the horrific sexual violence used against Tigray’s women
Tens of thousands of Tigrayan women report brutal wartime abuse by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers, such as gang-rape and the insertion of objects into their uteruses. But justice seems a distant prospect

This is so grim — Ghana has become a “fast fashion graveyard” with 15 million items of discarded clothing dumped there every single week. And the worst contributor is the UK! Clothes made by companies like M&S are dumped

This Friday, MPs will vote on the assisted dying Bill.

It all comes down to this - Tag your MP and ask them to vote yes.

If it passes, the Bill continues its journey in the House of Lords - if not, it falls.

This could be our last chance to secure a compassionate law.
