Wild Justice some more thank yous

We’re thrilled by the reception that the launch of Wild Justice has received. One aspect that has amazed us is how generous people have been in donating money to Wild Justice. Thank you! Much of our fundraising for individual projects will be using crowdfunding platforms such as Crowd Justice. Such platforms are trusted, well-known and…

You support the youth climate ‘strike’.

Hardly surprising for readers of this blog but an overwhelming majority of you support those young people who walked out of school to protest over climate inaction; of 341 respondents, 95.6% (326) support the ‘strike’ and 4.4% (15) do not. The Prime Minister’s official spokesperson was reported as saying, rather unwisely I thought; Everybody wants…

Wild Justice – thank you for clicking!

I’ve spent time in the garden, some time birdwatching and some time in front of the TV today. But I’ve also been watching the number of subscribers to the Wild Justice newsletter steadily mounting through the day. I’ve also been sending emails to folk who are still in the ‘Confirmation Pending’ category in our records…

Tim Melling – Elliot’s Laughingthrush

Tim writes: This is Elliot’s laughingthrush (Trochalopteron elliotii), a songbird found in Central China and the extreme NE part of India.  It occurs at high altitudes from about 1200 to 4800m in forest and scrub.  But like all laughingthrushes, they are heard more often than they are seen.  This was unusual to see one perched…

Guest blog series, A Break from Humanity (12) by Ian Carter.

Continued from last Saturday A few days later I went back to the north-east of the island, this time with my fishing rod, threading it through the tall stems of Bracken as I walked, or even hoisting it over my head, above the dense canopy of fronds. I’d not managed to find anywhere else on…

School strike over climate

I have great admiration for those young people walking out of school today to protest about inaction on climate change. I wish I could go back to school to walk out with them! The hashtags #climatestrike #YouthForClimate #FridaysForFuture and #schoolstrike4climate will get you to posts about it on social media. Our schools must, these days, promote…

Poor government response

Les Wallace’s petition has now received its expected poor government response. To be fair, it is quite a quick, poor response. Therese Coffey and the rest of Defra say ‘No’. In fact they say ‘No, no need’. I’ll be coming back to this later, probably today, as there are some very interesting aspects to it….

Wild Justice first case…

Chris Packham should be on Good Morning Britain talking about Wild Justice at 06:50 this morning. He tells me he apologises for sniffling – he’s got a bug. And the Wild Justice website is temporarily down too – it has a few glitches and needs a bit of technical fiddling. Maybe it caught something from…
