Please come and take my job! I’ve been the social media support officer for the @bou.org.uk for almost 4 years and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it! I made so many new friends, met new colleagues, attended many amazing conferences and learnt a lot.

This is an ideal role for #ECR folks in #ornithology 🪶

We have just days to act before this pollution spreads further.

Sharks and rays face growing risk of extinction from overfishing “Sharks and rays are important predators, and their decline disrupts food webs throughout the ocean", said one of the study's authors.

🚨 Overfishing has caused shark numbers to decline by +50% in the last 50 yrs, research shows. #Sharks are ancient species that are critical to #ocean health. We MUST curb #overfishing to ensure their survival. Science-backed catch limits now! #EndOverfishing 👇

Good morning! Our petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... has just passed 10,000 signatures so Defra must respond. Thank you to 9,999 others who have signed it!

We’ll keep fighting.

The climate and nature crisis can’t wait another year.

Fantastic to see so many farmers in London fighting against the labour governments inheritance tax No farmers No food No future

This week will be unusually cold for November with temperatures widely well below average 📉
