A wake-up call for #wildlife #conservation in Britain. Our long-awaited Red List for mammals is published today by @DefraGovUK @NaturalEngland @nature_scot @NatResWales @Mammal_Society. Carrying on with 'business as usual' is not an option. @IUCNRedList
Can you help save this increadibly ugly but also cute critter? Dentally and optically challenged, the blind mole-rat is heading towards extinction fast. Needs to be translocated to safe places. @MammalConsEur #wildlife #nature #conservation gofund.me/b7b1a8a3
Bat and bombs. My pleasure to meet Anton Vlashchenko from #Ukranian Bat Rehabilitation Centre in Kharkiv today. They are still rescuing literally thousands of bats.. despite everything

Delighted that we've raised £5,000 for our work on Andean bears. I'll be leaving for Ecuador in just a a couple of weeks. Every extra £200 means one more camera trap will be coming with me. Can you help? #JustGiving justgiving.com/campaign/ande…
Bats are undertaking long-scale migrations across Europe. Join me tomorrow to learn more about how to track these movements.

Shout out to the lovely businesses who donated amazing prizes to our raffle this week @BirdandBlendTea @noahs_ark_zoo @TheBodyShopUK @DukeofYorks @fpibrighton @marmalade_uk @RymanStationery @GrandBrighton @BrightonWstones.
A good recipe to spend £100M on bat conservation?
1. Labyrinthine layers of subcontractors, all taking a slice;
2. Split project into chunks: no joined-up thinking;
3. Route next to landfill, so special tunnel needed.
We did offer alternatives! theguardian.com/uk-news/2024…
Great opportunity to learn how to do acoustic analysis at the Birtbats conference.
We are delighted to offer a pre-conference workshop for BritBats attendees🔊
Do you have bat call data to process? Or curious about using acoustic tools for monitoring and research?

Here is the report. Basically, ordinary law cannot change the constitution, which says Nature has rights and cannot be traded like a comodity. primicias.ec/politica/daniel…

Trade in bats must stop! Our new paper, led by @BronwenHunter highlights scale of online trade. Most buyers from Europe and N America; most bats from Global South. Some platforms are tightening rules, but still easy to find @AmazonUK. @_BCT_ @BatConIntl url.uk.m.mimecastprotect.com…
Gorgeous sunny Seaton Parkrun. Swim time now! Thanks @Seatonparkrun volunteers.@parkrunUK
While England heads full-steam towards markets trading biodiversity offsetting so developers can meet Biodiversity Net Gain targets, Ecuador, a biodiversity mega-hotspot, has reconfirmed that biodiversity and carbon markets are illegal because they violate the #RightsofNature.
