The Living Planet Report Report 2020

The latest Living Planet Report provides a disturbing summary of the ongoing collapse in ecosystems around the world.

2020 has been the year that forced us to stop. A global pandemic, extreme weather, forest fires.

And the Living Planet Report 2020 shows that our relationship with nature is broken – but we know what needs to be done if we’re going to turn it around.

There’s no time to waste. We must take action now if nature is going to recover.

You can read the report at; Living Planet Report 2020

A Peoples Manifesto for Wildlife

A review of nature conservation policy and legislation has been undertaken by a group of wildlife experts who have produced their Peoples Manifesto for Wildlife  that sets out the changes that are needed to stop the continuing loss of species and habitats that Britain suffers. A thought provoking read.

How Wolves change Rivers

An inspirational video from George Monbiot about Wolves in Yellowstone Park and the deep connections between species in ecosystems. Would Wolves bring our current burgeoning Deer population back into balance with its food supply? And a bit closer to home here is a 20 minute film about Rewilding Scotland.

Ash Dieback Disease

The latest information on Ash Dieback disease is being posted on the DEFRA website.
Ash Dieback has been found extensively in Uttlesford on roadside trees and on many trees in West Wood and Shadwell Wood, with widespread hanging dead black leaves. It looks like we are eventually going to lose many Ash trees throughout the country. More hopeful news comes from University of York (Jan 2016) with this video showing a new genetic test to screen Ash seedlings for disease resistance.
