We had an absolutely amazing event in Vienna last week launching the European #RewildingCoalition! It was a pleasure to meet with so many leading European rewilding organizations and work on building this movement together. Lots of exciting things to come 🌿🐾

Fesitive news from Wilder Blean! The bison matriarch has given birth to the first calf to be conceived and born in Kent. 🦬 We're proud to have awarded this project our first Challenge Fund, to co-design a vision for the Blean and harness the power of these eco-engineers.

🥳 Another hard-fought win for the Nature Restoration Law! MEPs listened to over 1 million citizens, scientists, businesses & NGOs, and backed the negotiated agreement on the law, despite last-minute attempts by far-right & conservative MEPs to torpedo it #RestoreNature 🌿

In Argentina we are very proud of our high-quality, public, open and free University system. We defended it today, and will keep defending it.

Before human-driven degradation, European wildwoods were rich in hazel, oak, and yew—species thriving on disturbances likely caused by large herbivores. 🫎 🐘 🦬 Happy to finally share this work! 🥳🌳 lnkd.in/gXVWZQxy

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻 We've been celebrating spooky season and conducting personality assessments on wildcats, exposing them to novel objects such as pumpkins to assess their reactions 🎃 Their responses inform management decisions, helping our keepers manage the cats' welfare 🐾

I wrote a small article a few years ago for the BBC Wildlife magazine and it's getting some new attention! Check it out for some capybara knowledge 😉
