Burn Where the Wild Things Are
Pulverise the lego
Set fire to the Christmas tree star.

End game in Montreal, but plans too weak, including 30% target, which now not 30% protected on land & 30% on sea but 30% overall. Also species content too weak on extinction & abundance. Calls for ambition on finance must be matched by stronger ambition for Nature recovery #COP15
Hugely important day for the protection of beaver in England and credit to many staff in @NaturalEngland and @DefraGovUK
