The reduction of ecological restoration to single species stories is harmful as it creates this expectation of instant gratification in non-expert stakeholders and experts. Beavers, wolves, trees - the push for getting them on land and walking away is counterproductive.

As pointed out in the comments, you are more likely to see shitehawkery like this on weekends as nobody official out and about. Tanks are probably full, deadline coming up for spreading - farmers are under pressure, but stuff like this is not gonna help them in long term.

Two people walk together through a covered stone arcade with arched ceilings. The walkway is paved with cobblestones, and sunlight filters in from the open side of the corridor. One person is holding a small object or specimen while the other carries a notebook. They appear to be engaged in conversation as they move through the historic, architectural setting.

The same week in which the Nitrates Derogation was pushed through. This Government doesn't care for nature and climate, and is incapable of making things better. The majority of public won't notice the impact, until its too late. We need everyone angry about this now.

People are too concerned with the term "Biodiversity". This is leading to bad planning and bad programmes at the expense of nature. Ecological integrity is a better method through which to operate, but much harder to define.

Can you imagine TDs scrambling to change the Constitution or commentators hand-wringing in the media if it was leftists who behaved the way the spoiled vote crew did, in the same (minority) numbers, after several bigoted riots. Not so much forced to pander to them as willingly taking a running leap.
