Listen, learn & thrive in nature
Happy birthday Sir David! In celebration of a mighty 99 years around the sun and the release of the most important conservation film of our generation (go see “Ocean with David Attenborough”).
Thank you for being our guiding light, the voice of our conscience, and the voice for our planet. 🙏🌍💛

Our Changing Planet: Restoring our Rivers, is on BBCOne and BBCiPlayer this Sunday at 7pm.
I’m in Northern California witnessing the dismantling of huge dams & how the mighty Klamath River is being brought back to life thanks to an incredible river ecosystem restoration project.

Taking a wee break from socials, wishing you a peaceful season full of self-care & cosy lie ins, boundaries (am I right? 🥸), laughter, hugs, warmth & love!
(Liz Bonnin’s Wild Caribbean is on BBC iPlayer if sunshine & beautiful people help to add to the warmth 😉)
See you in 2025!
✨💛✨

Ah yeah. There she goes again. Enthusing about the need for systemic & economic transformation if we are to succeed in protecting the planet’s life support systems that we need to thrive (my whole career as a wildlife biologist & broadcaster has led me to this point, I couldn’t be more convinced)🧵

"Just half a pound of the stuff may remove as much carbon dioxide as a tree can". What the f**k does that even mean?

A mature tree removes ~25 kg of CO₂/year. This "new powder" is a sorbent with a capacity of 0.96 mmol/g, so that's 0.0096 kg of CO₂ per 0.5 lbs. You'd need 1305 lbs to equal a tree.
New powder that captures carbon could be ‘quantum leap’ for industry
A ‘covalent organic framework’ can be used to capture carbon to store it or convert it for industrial use

A tiny taste of the animals of Galápagos..
Giant tortoises, sea lions, blue footed red footed and Nazca boobies, waved albatrosses, marine iguanas, mockingbirds (that sparked Darwin’s imagination about evolution before the finches did) and even flamingos!
Coming soon in collaboration with Nat Geo.

A throwback from Bang Goes the Theory days on @bbcone.bsky.social that always resurfaces in Autumn.
You’re welcome 🤓🍁🍂
6/21 Unfortunately, the falling leaves then come to rest on the railway and this is where the problems start. Liz Bonnin (@lizbonnin.bsky.social) demonstrated the problems perfectly in this Bang Goes The Theory segment, please do take a moment to watch:
