For the last 12 years the Jåhkågaska Sami community has been defending its grazing lands by resisting this iron-ore mine. By doing so they have been safeguarding what keeps us all safe: biodiverse forests, intact carbon stock, clean water and air.

The Large Blue became extinct in Britain in 1979. Its unusual relationship with red ants was an important factor in both its decline & successful reintroduction.

To infiltrate an ants' nest, the caterpillar must very accurately mimic the smell of the ants. Each ant species has a unique scent, so the caterpillar's disguise is specific to just one species: Myrmica sabuleti. If it ends up in the wrong ants' nest, its cover will be blown! 🥸 👀

Beautiful Yellow Hammer perched in the Hawthorn hedgerow. They are UK conservation Red list but locally they appeared to be doing well this year... saw reasonable numbers around our village fields. Hope it continues! 🤞 😊

Don’t look for heroes.

Look for people who build community by making space for people to care for each other and raise one another up.

I'd be very grateful for comments and boosts for the widest range of opinions. Thanks x
