In London, in 2025, we're keeping penguins in a windowless basement with no access to deep water, to entertain tourists?
This is UTTERLY unacceptable.
Rehome them to someone whose focus is conservation, not exploiting wildlife for money. #London #SeaLife

Can beaver wetlands create a buzz and a flutter for pollinators? 🦫🦋
A new study, carried out by Senior Ecologist Patrick Cook for his PhD at the University of Stirling, revealed that wetlands created by beavers have 45% more butterflies than those created by people.

Is it time to move beyond the ‘just transition’?
As Emily Ghosh explains, we can’t solve the climate crisis by just switching our energy source. Climate change is driven by concentrated power and global inequities.
We need transformation, not transition.
