A patch of ocean south-east of Greenland is the only place on Earth that is cooling, and it could be a sign that the warm water "conveyor belt" in the Atlantic is slowing down newscientist.com/article/252…

This is such an engrossing and exhilarating read, about arguably the most impressive rewilding effort in the world. It's also a warts and all account of the man who was the driving force behind it. What a guy, what a story, what a legacy.

A pleasure & a privilege to contribute to this. They've been connecting & protecting land in this vast region for over 30 years, so that wild nature can thrive. And every year is filled with more inspiring progress. Protect the wild & support their work. y2y.net/blog/every-step-coun…
So, one of the illegally released Eurasian lynx in the Cairngorms has died. Sad, but hardly surprising given the circumstances. A cautionary tale for any further amateurish "reintroductions" by mavericks who think they know best. Leave it to the experts. scotlandbigpicture.com/lynx-…

BBC News - Warning after two lynx released in Highlands

Ah, rewilding. Plucked from obscurity and thrust into the limelight in the blink of an eye. Now its diluted form is the 'must have' accessory for those who do not delve beyond the headlines. Polluted by capitalism and ignorance. Instead of the need for speed, let's take heed.
An interesting new study here that feeds into a growing body of -speculative - evidence that the 'landscape of fear' effect exerted by large carnivores can help forests to regenerate. news.mongabay.com/2024/10/el…

Throwback to this insightful film from @BIOINTERACTIVE feat. Y2Y's Dr. Jodi Hilty sharing why keeping areas connected — especially between protected areas — is important for keeping wildlife and people thriving.

If only we could be more like Canmore, Alberta, when it comes to human-wildlife coexistence. What strikes me most is the pragmatism & lack of fuss when it comes to living alongside species like bear. Puts Scotland's histrionics & hyperbole into perspective vimeo.com/214597705?fbclid=I…

Nature recovery in the UK is too piecemeal. We need a national strategy of joined up thinking & joined up habitats for it to be effective & resilient in the long-term. Cores and corridors are key. We need to work at Nature's scale. It also needs to be impervious to whims of Gov.
