There’s still time to #SaveCoulLinks.
A year ago, we gave evidence about the irreparable damage a golf course would do to this incredible place.
Its fate is in the hands of Scottish Ministers. Nearly 18,000 of you have asked them to stand up for nature.

The summer just gone was the warmest on record ☀️
Scotland’s harvest started earlier than ever before this year 🚜
Farmers are reacting to these challenges in real time, but government support to help implement nature-based solutions is sadly lagging behind.

The concept of ancient invasions aligns with the view (which I've had since I was a grad student) that invasions are defined by evolutionary context.
Like extinctions & climate change, invasions occurred long before humans, though humans are now driving these phenomenon.
