Andy Burnham has big decisions to make on Rosebank, Heathrow, cars and heat pumps. Making the wrong ones would be sleepwalking the UK further into climate crisis, he is warned.

I would have sent them to prison personally ๐
Linh Luu and Kevin Le processed more than $50,000 in payments to help someone in Vietnam illegally move wildlife items to and from Oregon, according to court documents.
The trafficked items included lion teeth, a tiger pelt and a rhino horn. Authorities say the rhino horn was disguised as a household decoration to evade customs.
Lions, tigers and black and white rhinoceroses are protected under the Endangered Species Act.
The couple were sentenced to three years of probation and fined $10,000 each.

Nature is not a resource.
Itโs the operating system of life.
When we destroy forests, wetlands, and oceans, we delete our own survival code.
Protect ecosystems = protect ourselves.

Cat and @marksandspencer would be doing more good for the planet and the people if they fed people the wild fish that you are pelletising to feed factory farmed #ScottishSalmon. The maths doesn't work, the entire planet is struggling because of this model of food production.
Here is another delicious #Scottishsalmon recipe alongside our focus this month highlighting the nutritional benefits of #salmon.
Cat uses Scottish Sea Farms fillets from @marksandspencer to create this easy to prepare dish.

SIAPA YANG BERGELIMANG HARTA DI ATAS PENDERITAANNYAโ๏ธ๐ฆง
DARI IG info_kalteng, seekor orangutan tertangkap kamera tengah berada di area terbuka dan lahan yang telah rusak atau terbakar di wilayah Kabupaten Kotawaringin Timur, Kalimantan Tengah, pada Rabu, 28 Oktober 2026.
Berdasarkan rekaman video amatir di lokasi, primata dilindungi tersebut tampak berjalan kebingungan melintasi jalur tanah di dekat kawasan perkebunan dan lahan yang tampak hangus serta gundul.
Kondisi ini mencerminkan krisis ruang hidup yang semakin mendesak bagi satwa liar endemik Kalimantan akibat tekanan alih fungsi lahan maupun musibah kebakaran.

"Witnessing such a young elephant lose its life to trophy hunting is a painful reminder of why we cannot allow this to continue.Together, let's demand stricter regulations and an immediate ban on trophy hunting. Our wildlife deserves better. #BanTrophyHuntingNow"

So happy to see rain finally falling in this part of South Kalimantan. I hope it helps bring the fires under control, gives the exhausted firefighters some relief and, most importantly, gives the wildlife and animals caught up in the fires a chance to survive โค๏ธ

A dull evening for it no wind or rain tho, an increase in nos of birds from last week, despite it being reasonably still the birds came in early & went to roost really early a long time before sunset unusual perhaps they wanted to be settled before the storms that were predicted

Huge victory for wildlife in Lebanon! ๐จ
Our teams have dismantled over 63,000 mยฒ of illegal bird nets this autumn, saving an estimated 60,000 migratory birds as a result.
200+ birds rescued + 165 mist-nets dismantled on our latest mission alone!
Huge thanks to @LebISF ๐ซก ๐๏ธ

Thousands of bird trappers are operating in #Malta from today under fake "research" permits - despite 2 EU Court rulings against it!
@CABS_REPORTS is fighting back: 8 poachers caught, illegal nets seized, and 39 trapped birds freed.

Ach, they have blocked me again. Did you know? That for you to eat a 140g portion of farmed salmon it is likely that food grade fish including mackerel, herring and sardines have been stolen from people less well of than yourself and pelletised to feed the #salmon?
Fuel Your Day!
Did you know?
A 140g portion of Scottish salmon provides around 34g of high-quality protein, helping to support muscles, bones and overall health.
Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, Scottish salmon is a simple way to fuel your day!

Good night @Kangarooei followers. Many followers would have heard about Kevin the Koala who lives here with his partner Audrey. Here is their son who is climbing a Manor Gum I planted 40 years ago for the Koalas, one of their favourites to eat. Happy for the night. Sleep well. ๐ฆ

Why are peatlands burning?
Indonesiaโs estimated 24.2 million hectares of peatland are vulnerable to fire, with 16.4 million hectares degraded and at risk. The primary cause is industrial-scale plantations for timber, pulp and paper, rice paddies and palm oil. To cultivate these lands, Indonesia drains peatlands with extensive canal networks stretching about 285,000 kilometres. This drainage leads to water flowing into rivers or the sea, leaving the dried peatlands susceptible to burning, particularly during severe El Niรฑo years that bring drought to Indonesia.
