It's encouraging to see buds emerging among the willow grove planted around the beaver wetlands last year! This is a harbinger of spring and a heartwarming teaser of how the area might look if the willows continue to flourish - although their roots won't have fully implanted yet.

A tweet from Pizza Hut Restaurants (@pizzahutuk) reads, "Here's a picture of our new vegan Pizza. Everyone tag Piers Morgan in it to ruin his day. Feel free to join in, @GreggsOfficial π±." Below the text is an image of a colourful vegan pizza topped with vegetables and drizzled with sauce, displayed on a black background. The tweet is dated 15:27, 3 Jan 19.
Who remembers this brilliant piece of marketing? π
The image is a meme featuring a cartoon character (Ralph Wiggum from *The Simpsons*) diving headfirst through a closed window, breaking the glass. The text above reads, "Them: 'I'm thinking of going vegan. Can you come over sometime to chat?' Me:" The image humorously conveys eagerness to discuss veganism.

A wide landscape view of a barren hillside under a clear blue sky. Dozens of sheep are scattered across the rolling field, grazing or resting on the grass across the slope.
Sheep are not part of the ecosystem π
The UK was once a temperate rainforest.
Sheep farming is the reason it's gone π³
Two lambs are restrained in a handling cradle on a farm, lying on their backs with their legs raised and held in place by the equipment. A black panel separates the two positions of the cradle. In the background, other lambs and sheep move around a barn with metal railings, straw bedding, and hay bales. Tools and equipment rest on the metal frame in the foreground.

#CitizenScience is vital in helping plug the gaps in our understanding of our waterways.
So, over the same weekend, we're running The Big River Watch - a free, easy, app-based way to record observations of river health.
By pairing the datasets for analysis, we hope to gain deeper insights. πͺ

SAF sounds great until you look at the scale needed. Aviation demand grows, fuel supply doesnβt magically keep up. Weβre betting heavily on fuels that currently exist in tiny quantities. Bold strategy. #ClimateAction

Horse welfare must come first. Stay away, refuse to bet, and help end this needless death toll.

Every year, horses are raced to their deaths, yet safety reforms and a whip ban have not been implemented.

BREAKING: The first horse has died at this yearβs Cheltenham Festival.
We are saddened to report that Hansard has died, bringing the total horse fatalities at the event to 79 since 2000*

The biggest political divide in food isnβt animals. Itβs the environment. Both left and right broadly accept using animals, they just disagree about the details. Welfare debates manage the system. They donβt challenge it.
π¬ You Told Us to Talk About the Weather is a new short film exploring why itβs so hard to speak openly about climate.
Based on a poetry series by award-winning playwright Emma Louise Howell and starring Olivier & BAFTA-nominated Michael Sheen.

Male chicks are killed within hours of hatching because they can't lay eggs or grow fast enough for meat. They're either ground up alive, gassed, or suffocated π£
One of the hardest things about being vegan is seeing how easily people excuse the destruction caused by eating animals. The meat industry is behind 91% of Amazon deforestation, but hey, bacon.
A four-panel meme featuring the same woman pointing her finger in each image. The captions read: - Top left: "Age 4: 'Eat your fruit!'" - Top right: "Age 7: 'Eat your greens!'" - Bottom left: "Age 12: 'Eat your beans!'" - Bottom right: "After you go vegan: 'What am I supposed to cook for you now?!'" The woman looks progressively more perplexed in each panel.
How many of you went vegan during childhood?

Recent studies have hammered home a simple truth: eating a healthy, plant-based diet can drastically reduce your risk of dying from conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and dangerous blood clots.
We donβt sell comfort. We fight for liberation. Back us π
Elephant rides are being banned in places like Indonesia. Thatβs progress. But removing the ride doesnβt remove the system. Zoos, safari parks, and wildlife attractions still rely on turning living individuals into tourist experiences.
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Youβre driving real change for animals β and this monthβs progress shows just how powerful your voice is.
