Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

The Potato Park near Pisac, Peru, is a very special place. Established by the amazing Alejandro Argumedo, the work they do there is hugely impressive. Communities there have even donated genetic resources to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault - biocultural.iied.org/film-quechua...

Hey #WildlifeDisease & #conservation folk, please check out our survey on attitudes to parasite conservation. Are parasites important for biodiversity, would you remove them to protect host welfare, or something more nuanced? We want to hear all views to improve guidance for practitioners 🪱🧪🌍🧵1/n
