Look to the news in these troubled times & you wouldn't be blamed for questioning where the hope is.

It was a pleasure then to see this glimmer of hope. A new initiative to bring war veterans some moments of peace in the incredible Danube Delta.

How do you showcase rewilding stories with your 📸?

We talked to one of the best, @petecairns.bsky.social, who has spent his long career doing just that.

These Bonelli's eagles returning to Sardinia are just one of many recent releases, supported by Rewilding Europe's Wildlife Comeback Fund.

They not only return a missing ecological function but also bring some much-needed awe & inspiration.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but today is the shortest day of the year!

Which means the daylight starts seeping back from here on in.
We made it!

Insh Marshes in @cairngormsconnect.bsky.social is full to the brim with meltwater. It's a timely reminder of how important functioning floodplains are.

Imagine if that water wasn't allowed to seep out into the flatlands surrounding the river, it would be devastating for downstream communities.

Do you have the passion & skillset to drive #rewilding forwards in Scotland?

The Iberian Highlands rewilding landscape is set amongst 850,000ha of some of Spain's best-kept wild space.

It hosts as-far-as-the-eye-can-see forests, towering geological wonders & vast Mediterranean steppe.

Today in the Cairngorms a group of people with sledgehammers were smashing through the frozen surface of a loch so they could swim in it.

I respect them a lot.
And fear them a little. 🥶

Bitingly cold but breathtaking around the house today!

Freezing fog for starters and then glorious December sun for main. These are the winters I love.

This is an interesting read: www.mattole.org/wp-content/u...

Largely in reference to North American species of salmon, but does include Atlantic in the mix. Overall seems positive physical & biological responses, but more evidence & wider questions needed.

I am *incredibly* late to the party, but I finally got around to reading #Rewilding.

I'd thoroughly recommend it as a great introduction to the topic. I really enjoyed delving into the species of the Pleistocene and how they shaped our world.

It really gets you thinking about shifting baselines.

There’s been some stunning conditions this week in the Cairngorms with a return to proper winter conditions, coating the woodlands in a layer of hoar frost. ❄️
