Scottish Forestry have decided that a vast plantation forestry scheme in the Scottish Borders (12 sq km) does not need an Environmental Impact Assessment. Please consider giving to this crowdfund to support a legal challenge by RestoreNature. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-todrig-…

Have we passed “peak honey bee” in Britain? I’ve posted occasional updates on hive numbers on my blog, but the last of these was in 2022. It feels like it’s time for another - on #WorldBeeDay2025! Read more here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2025/05/20/hav… #bees #pollinators #biodiversity #FAO

1/8 I'm going to celebrate #WorldBeeDay2025 with eight special British Bees I've seen in the past few weeks and the lovely places where they live. This is a queen Brown-banded Carder Bee Bombus humilis at Church Ope, Isle of Portland, Dorset on 27 April.

Our latest research shows spot-on flea treatments on dogs are released into water when dogs swim even 28 days after treatment - in contrast to the label which suggests dogs can safely swim 48 h after treatment. newscientist.com/article/248265…

California will keep fighting on behalf of all our people including in the courts. If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least
