🧵71% of UK land is farmland — so nature recovery must start in our fields. @jedsol.bsky.social is researching how regenerative farming supports soil life + how measuring energy could help us measure change for nature recovery in underground ecosystems. #worldsoilday

Interested in #RegenAg and how we might measure change over time for nature recovery? Come see our #BES2025 talk showing how we used ecological energetics to compare regen vs conventional arable ag at @realfarmed.bsky.social and the evidence regen is working. Details below!

Having had time to digest the new BNG consultation, I am *astounded* at the proposed changes to the small sites metric (SSM). If the changes are implemented, the SSM could apply to developments up to 49 dwellings/1ha - affecting a lot of developments! 1/ consult.defra.gov.uk/defra-biodiv...

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects
A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

What fungi live deep in the Earth’s grassland soils? We joined @hhwalter.bsky.social in Manu National Park in Peru to sample mycorrhizal fungi in high-altitude grasslands. This project with Fungi Foundation explores how deep soil fungi help regulate the Earth's carbon cycle. 🌍 #BiodiversityDay

It was extremely heartening to see and meet so many scientists out at Parliament today protesting to bring @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social and ensure our rapid response to the climate and nature crisis - I've contacted and green carded my MP, have you?

1. This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breathtaking perversity, told in this thread. (There’s a one-page version at the bottom). 🧵

A 450-yo oak is felled without permission by a Toby Carvery (don’t eat there), who falsely claimed it was "dead". A tree alive when The Gunpowder Plot was hatched, which supports a web of 2000+ species, is in pieces. Legal protection for heritage trees needed. enfielddispatch.co.uk/toby-carvery...

📢 @ejmilnergulland.bsky.social: MPs must pause Part III of the Planning Bill—consult widely—and align it with the spirit and substance of the Environment Act and #CANBill. Housing’s urgent—but it doesn’t need to happen at #nature’s expense. Nature isn’t a “nice to have”. It’s all we have.
The Labour Government’s Planning Bill proposals lack the safeguards necessary to preserve key ecosystems, including chalk streams and woodlands, warns Prof E.J. Milner-Gulland.

A long time in the making but so excited this is now out! Fortunately a co-author on this report helping underline the importance regen ag has in the UK, especially for nature recovery and farming. Hopefully this can help affect some policy levers!

The image presents a comparison between two types of lawns to promote #NoMowMay. On top, titled "Why have a lawn like this?" it displays a grid of uniform green squares representing a plain, regularly mowed lawn. Below, titled "When you can have a lawn like this?" the grid intersperses colourful icons of a sunflower, a pink flower, a ladybug, a frog, a bee, a butterfly, a white flower with a yellow centre, a tulip, another sunflower, a red mushroom with white spots, and additional flowers, symbolising a lively, biodiverse lawn encouraged by letting grass grow naturally during May and beyond.

Huge win for our seabirds! All Scottish waters and the English North Sea are now CLOSED to industrial sandeel trawling. That means more fish for seabird beaks. After a quarter century of campaigning, we're delighted the UK and Scottish Governments have put these closures in place.
