What is the gravest ecological challenge? Global heating, mass extinction, pollution? My new book, ‘Just Earth’, published by Bloomsbury Books & which is out in March, suggests it’s actually social inequalities.

Delighted to see that the great Mark Cocker has chosen ‘Just Earth’ to include in the Spectator’s Books Of The Year round up. What a good place for that book to be highlighted.

Marvellous. They are in Logan’s Meadow nature reserve. I have found the odd half eaten big fish by the boathouses and thought it was probably signs of Otter. Excellent to get an actual sighting and picture. Really great 👍
Central Cambridge Otter!
My friend @w-mcewan.bsky.social just saw this Otter near the boathouses! (31 Oct '25)
Incredible!

The huge biodiversity gains from restoring farm #ponds. Major evidence coming in from studies at our Heydon restored pondscape, Norfolk, eastern England @tonyjuniper.bsky.social @fwageast.bsky.social @farmwildlifeuk.bsky.social @brecksfarmerswn.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social @epcn.bsky.social
How do you get a 120% increase in wetland plants in the farmed landscape & massively increase water beetle diversity too? The answer is restore farm ponds by scrub & sediment removal - key is to go in hard & make a big impact. See new paper: share.google/VVowsJzqHdPT...

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so.

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.
When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected.
Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

Wonderful to be at the Wild Summit today. A real sense of common cause across a vast range of organisations & people. I said that Nature can be recovered, if we bring people & diverse sectors together in partnerships, integrate policy & foster a Nature positive culture, & it’s already starting.

One more step for Nature recovery in England marked with an extension to the Ingleborough National Nature Reserve in Yorkshire. This beautiful area hosts a wealth of scarce wildlife. The Natural England team is very proud to work with such wonderful partners in making this happen.
