There are now 2,401 Iberian lynxes in the wild! Yes every single one counts
I played a small part in their recovery by starting the campaign SOS Lynx in 2000, so I have a vested interest in their success!

A selfish joy!
Feeding robins so I can watch them from a metre away whilst I sup a cuppa in the sunshine is a win-win for me!

It was a long and uplifting weekend for reading and yoga in the park.
Perfect!
#Humankind and #Utopiaforrealists, what a restorative weekend.
I could not recommend these books more!

Wild boar and their antics in my little olive grove in Portugal, a little montage of this family of wild boar that do all the hard work for me - it makes it a LOT easier to plant potatoes in this stony olive grove!

Checking #cameratrap footage and amidst the hundreds of files was this wonderful matriarch of the forest staring straight at the camera lens while she sussed it out. Seeing wild boar in their natural, curious state still gives me such a thrill.

Conservationists + Catron County (NM) residents are calling out a plan by the Catron County Board of County Commissioners to declare a “state of emergency” due to wolves in the County. However, there is no incident in recorded history of a Mexican wolf attacking or injuring a human.

Gareth Southgate, "We have to show young men that character is more important than status"

"That how you treat others is more important than how much money you make"

"That values matter. Courage. Humility. And integrity"

"Over selfishness. Greed. Arrogance"

I've lived with wild boar in Portugal for many years, watched their humbugs play, and waited for them to move so I could drive home and cursed them when they dug up my veg plot.
One thing's for sure living with wild boar is never boring 😴 drumroll 🥺
