I'm posting this because I've seen some recent kick-back against the fundamental FACT that intact natural ecosystems are essential to a stable climate.

Why protests like this aren’t happening in the US or UK I cannot say, but they absolutely should be for exactly all the same reasons they’re happening in Serbia.
Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now.
Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government.
What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising.

beaver's return
![Comic by Stephen Collins for the Guardian. Script as follows:
Scene is a British WOODLAND by a RIVER. A NATURALIST is stood next to a cage, and TV NEWS REPORTERS are filming him and the cage.

NATURALIST:
And now It is my great honour
2
NATURALIST:
to reintroduce the first wild beaver
back into Britain
3
[Cut to the BEAVER’S CAGE. Its door is open and the Beaver is leaned nonchalantly up against the opening, smoking a cigarette.]
4
BEAVER:
Well, well, well.
5
BEAVER:
Look who's come crawling back.
6
BEAVER:
Got a rubbish ecosystem have ya?
7
BEAVER:
Not happy with the *critical anti-flood infrastructure* engineered by the flippin *badgers*?
8
BEAVER:
I almost didn't recognise you without one of my ancestors on your head…
9
BEAVER:
First you wipe us out… now you ask us to come back and build dams for free…
You actually expect me to be *pleased* don’t ya?
NATURALIST:
I'm so sorry I…I…
10
BEAVER:
“Ooh la la, the Brits have come crawling back…”
Do I look like *Michel flippin’ Barnier*?
11
NATURALIST:
I-if there’s some kind of… *remuneration* we could offer I-I’m sure…
12
BEAVER [throwing cigarette to the ground]:
Unlimited pond weed, two tickets to Abba Voyage.
NATURALIST:
Done.
