This graphic helps me wrap my head around the magnitude of the problem. Notice the amount of current biomass for wild mammals (in green) versus that for livestock and humans. No wonder we have converging crises of biodiversity, fresh water, and climate. doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biac0…

She was groomed by dark-money lobby groups working for Big Tobacco, Big Oil and foreign oligarchs. Now Liz Truss is in office and trashing this country on their behalf.

Nora had 5 piglets last night. Here she is only 2 hours after giving birth, counting them and understanding she’s missing 1 (who had gone under straw on the right). We were not necessary, we were superfluous to this intimate affair (we only observed to help if needed).
