Bad but unsurprising news about upcoming US withdrawal from @ipbes.net - but the work addressing biodiversity loss continues.

“We cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.”

IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot

The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I can’t believe that! Also thanks for the nightjar & golden plover sightings, which I forgot in the first post 😜 see you before too long

Rosaleen Duffy @rosaleenduffy.bsky.social · 12d

As the next listing year begins, there was one bird I really wanted to see, twite, and didn’t see. Maybe 2026 will be the year for them, black redstarts & snow buntings …..let’s see. For now I want to go back to just enjoying watching birds 🦢

Rosaleen Duffy @rosaleenduffy.bsky.social · 12d

A final thanks to @feargalc.bsky.social who patiently put up with slightly obsessive requests for detours following reports of rarities & drive 2 hours to a village that had resident peacocks

Another thanks to one of my sisters who took me out to look for flamingoes while visiting - the trip also meant I unexpectedly saw lesser spotted woodpeckers

Rosaleen Duffy @rosaleenduffy.bsky.social · 12d

A thank you to @toursnatural.bsky.social whose excellent & knowledgeable guidance on trips ensured I saw a Merlin, willow tit and some lovely mountain hares

I had brilliant trips to Leighton Moss, Bempton Cliffs & St Aidans which yielded a water rail, bearded tits, puffin & bittern respectively

This has to be the most glamorous birdwatching I did - watching from a restaurant geodome overlooking loch Ryan, waiting for the ferry to Belfast

🦢Listers!!! Did I get all the bird species I needed in one calendar year for the #My200 challenge? No, but I got 198 - decent amount for a first go at a #BigYear. Started with a wren in loughinisland, ended with a sanderling on Tyrella beach.I’ve learned a lot & had some fun experiences, a🧵

🎄Happy holidays everyone 🎄switching off for a bit, so in the meantime enjoy this festive-looking slug by Abi Palmer www.sitegallery.org/exhibition/s...

Agreed - and thanks!

🤢 when private land ownership meets venture capital meets greenwashing. So many layers of what’s wrong with carbon & biodiversity credits being pushed as a solution to planetary crisis ⬇️

When Brewdog admitted failure and sold off their rewilding project, there was at least hope that it had passed into competent hands. No such luck.

‘Unashamedly capitalist’ rewilders claim ‘Moneyball’ approach could make millions – but experts sceptical

Rich Stockdale says model of ‘regenerative capitalism’ would maximise profits by planting trees, restoring peatlands, and installing windfarms across its estates
