Do we want Fin Whales Dead or Alive? #Iceland is harpooning one of largest intelligent animals to ever live. @KristrunFrosta PM of Iceland why do you allow this? Yet incredible footage of Fin Whale seen off Wales coast recently. Will it get harpooned? @WelshGovernment speak up!!

Google illegally cleared an estimated 250,000 trees across 330 hectares of forest in Muhos, northern Finland, to prepare for a new AI data center before completing mandatory environmental impact assessments
And another 150,000 trees felled at Otanmäki

A dull evening for it no wind or rain tho, an increase in nos of birds from last week, despite it being reasonably still the birds came in early & went to roost really early a long time before sunset unusual perhaps they wanted to be settled before the storms that were predicted

Huge victory for wildlife in Lebanon! 🚨
Our teams have dismantled over 63,000 m² of illegal bird nets this autumn, saving an estimated 60,000 migratory birds as a result.
200+ birds rescued + 165 mist-nets dismantled on our latest mission alone!
Huge thanks to @LebISF 🫡 🕊️

Thousands of bird trappers are operating in #Malta from today under fake "research" permits - despite 2 EU Court rulings against it!
@CABS_REPORTS is fighting back: 8 poachers caught, illegal nets seized, and 39 trapped birds freed.

Ach, they have blocked me again. Did you know? That for you to eat a 140g portion of farmed salmon it is likely that food grade fish including mackerel, herring and sardines have been stolen from people less well of than yourself and pelletised to feed the #salmon?
Fuel Your Day!
Did you know?
A 140g portion of Scottish salmon provides around 34g of high-quality protein, helping to support muscles, bones and overall health.
Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, Scottish salmon is a simple way to fuel your day!

Good night @Kangarooei followers. Many followers would have heard about Kevin the Koala who lives here with his partner Audrey. Here is their son who is climbing a Manor Gum I planted 40 years ago for the Koalas, one of their favourites to eat. Happy for the night. Sleep well. 🦘

Why are peatlands burning?
Indonesia’s estimated 24.2 million hectares of peatland are vulnerable to fire, with 16.4 million hectares degraded and at risk. The primary cause is industrial-scale plantations for timber, pulp and paper, rice paddies and palm oil. To cultivate these lands, Indonesia drains peatlands with extensive canal networks stretching about 285,000 kilometres. This drainage leads to water flowing into rivers or the sea, leaving the dried peatlands susceptible to burning, particularly during severe El Niño years that bring drought to Indonesia.

The No #Glyphosate Campaign in #Sheffield is gathering momentum. Its toxic to our wildlife and also a risk to dogs and cats on our streets. @SheffCouncil you need to listen to the people of Sheffield and STOP spraying #pesticides on our streets. @SheffieldStar @BBCSheffield

Farmed #salmon. Scotlands shame.
🌍 This #WorldFoodDay, we’re celebrating Scottish food at its best.
Nutritious, versatile and enjoyed around the world, #Scottishsalmon is something #Scotland can be proud of. It remains the UK’s top food export, reaching 45 countries in 2025.

Once rainforest burns, it won’t recover in our lifetime.🌳❌
Endangered species will disappear.
Indonesia holds MORE endemic wildlife than anywhere on earth.🦧
Pictured here are faces from just Borneo. Rainforest is irreplaceable and we have to protect every last inch of it! 🥹

STOP, LISTEN & SHARE! 🌿
This brought me to tears. 😭🐒
The sounds of Gibbons singing happily through this tropical rainforest months ago. Now, this piece of forest is GONE! 🔥
It won’t recover. There are still areas left in this park they are trying to protect.
PLEASE HELP!🌳👇

Yes even the last remaining areas of the Borneo jungle they promised to leave alone are being logged
They will not stop until not one tree is left standing of this 140 million year old jungle
