Very keen amateur naturalist, conservationist and rewilder. I love the natural world and all life, from plants and fungi and insects to sharks and blue whales. I have a close affinity to East Africa, it's wildlife and peoples. Do you share my passions?

Reintroducing bison to Kansas prairies doubled native plant diversity over decades, helping grasslands recover from drought and resist tree growth.

This poor robin was brought to South Essex Wildlife Hospital. The bird is just one of many victims of horrific glue traps, which are still legal to sell and buy in the UK.

Someone: "I'm going palm oil free for the orangutans" my brain: don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it Me: "Maybe you could go plant-based too for the dozens of species lost every single day?" 🦧
The image features a young gorilla surrounded by lush vegetation. Text overlaid on the image states, "60% of the world's biodiversity loss is caused by meat consumption." The source of the statistic is cited as the WWF Report "Appetite for Destruction," October 2017. The message highlights the significant impact of meat consumption on global biodiversity, emphasizing the role that the meat industry plays in habitat destruction, deforestation, and species extinction.

Thousands of chicks killed. Decades of suffering. It’s time we showed Gannets the compassion they deserve and ban the Guga hunt for good.

Explaining that the biggest, toughest animals are herbivores...
Meme with caption: “Me explaining how you can still build muscle on a plant based diet.” Below, a photo shows a muscular gorilla sitting on the grass gesturing with their hands, facing a group of people watching. The image humorously highlights that gorillas, who eat plants, are extremely strong and muscular.
