The climate crisis is spiralling out of our control. 1000s of fish washed up dead this summer in the Gulf of Mexico because the water was too hot to hold oxygen. This is a climate emergency. There is no time to wait. @MikeHudema

After two decades of negotiations, the #HighSeasTreaty is now open for signature at the UN. Once 60 nations sign and ratify it, it will protect marine biodiversity spanning nearly half our planet. This is a huge moment for ocean conservation. I'm absolutely delighted 🌊🐟🌍

Oak Flat in Arizona is a sacred site of the Apache set to be destroyed by Resolution Copper. What makes it sacred? One example: Water pours out of rocks from an ancient aquifer and feeds an otherwise arid desert, spawning unbelievably rich biodiversity and cultural connection.

Does anyone know of an extant “medicine field” in the UK or elsewhere? Someone told me their family farm used to have one but I can’t remember who. A field with a diversity of plants - sick animals were put in it & self medicated. @jake_fiennes @themarshtit @NFFNUK @realfarming

The environmental case for buying a coal mine
