Last year there were no cubs in the Kincaple den we monitor, so we were delighted to film 3 cubs returning to the den with mum at 06:34 on May 16

Storm Éowyn on the Eden Estuary. There is more and more energy in the atmosphere because of climate change. Until there is a solution we will have to get used to this!

I was astonished to spot 3 forest elephants on a roundabout in Glenrothes yesterday! They have the classic small round « cyclotis » ears and their backs curve upwards to the highest point above their hips!

A team finally kayaked the mighty Ivindo river in Gabon’s Ivindo National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Amazing footage of the river and the team’s remarkable skills. Hats off to them! www.redbull.com/int-en/films...

As a tropical ecologist in exile in Scotland since the military coup in Gabon, I have been exploring the Scottish rain forests. Sadly most of them have been destroyed but Taynish gives a glimpse into what they once were, and could be again. Restoring forests is a great way to fight climate change.

« Bru’s » Chariots of Fire moment on the West Sands today was buffeted by Storm Bert. She seemed perplexed, looking at me as if to ask « what are you humans doing to our planet? ». As a climate negotiator who attended every COP from Poznan to Dubai all I can reply is « mea culpa ».

Climate change meets « chariots of fire ». On the edge of Storm Bert, St. Andrew’s West Sands are deserted. As heat (=energy) accumulates in the atmosphere weather events become more severe. Droughts, storms, floods, winds . . . We must cut emissions and preserve and restore the world’s forests!

How does "urge" compare with "invite" or "request"? Is "welcome" warmer than "note"? (Yes, obvs!) Here's your complete guide to verbs in UNFCCC text:

I facilitated a discussion on role of the public sector at the launch of the King's Circular Bioeconomy Alliance: adopt stable policies, ensure political equity, change bad subsidies to good, green procurement, blended finance to promote private sector investment, put Nature into school curriculums
