Absolutely love stoats. They can either be as bold as brass or nervous as heck.
I wish we saw more of them around the British countryside.

And it's the world's largest consumer in the multibillion-dollar #aquarium trade. The cost to the wild often goes unnoticed. That's why addressing the U.S. exotic pet trade is crucial to saving global #biodiversity. And companies can have a big impact in the fight.

Wildlife exploitation, including the pet trade, is a major driver of the global #ExtinctionCrisis. The U.S. is one of the world's largest #ExoticPet markets, taking wildlife from biodiversity hotspots in Southeast Asia and South America to live caged in someone's home.

Petition to Bring Back Scotland's Inshore Limit
Scotland's coastal seabed was off-limits to bottom-trawling until 1984. Ever since the limit was removed, the fish in our seas declined as seabed habitats were destroyed. Protecting our seabed will help bring them back.
