The photograph shows the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, Egypt. I am standing in the foreground, wearing a black sleeveless T-shirt, green satin skirt, and a black and white scarf blowing in the breeze, turning to look back at the Step Pyramid. The Step Pyramid at Saqqara is Egyptβs first pyramid and the worldβs first monumental cut stone building. Built around 2,630 BC, by the architect Imhotep as a royal tomb for King Djoser of the Third Dynasty (Old Kingdom).
Today, a visit to the Step Pyramid at Saqqara.

Kingfisher perched on a reed above a wetland at golden hour, its bright blue back and orange chest glowing in the soft light. Moments like this show the wildlife our nature laws protect, species that rely on healthy habitats and wild places to survive.
Today, the Government stepped back from the most damaging recommendations that threatened to gut the laws protecting our most precious places for nature.
With wildlife already in crisis, anything else would have been reckless.
But avoiding the worst is not enough. Nature needs ambitious action.
