Excited to share that in our recent HogWatch survey in Kingston we found a nationally Critically Endangered pine marten (Martes martes). This is the first record of the species in over a century in London!

Disposable barbecues need to be banned. Enough is enough. They are costing a fortune in terms of damage to nature & people's livelihoods. This has to stop.

Nail in the coffin moment? @VICENews I would also like to suggest an alternative headline...
"Company X and investor Y have announced they will buy parts of the world's second-largest rainforest to make X USD billion profit"
#climatecrisis
The Democratic Republic of Congo has announced that it will sell parts of the world's second-largest rainforest and peatlands for oil and gas drilling, just months after promising to preserve them at the COP26 climate conference. trib.al/H12VfuO

Hackney Marshes are a beautiful oasis in East London popular wth people from all communities. But the water is so polluted, despite it being an ideal swimming spot. This initiative for nature/wild swimming looks so cool! Pls have a look & consider donating crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elwp

🌊6️⃣ This biodegradable #plastic bag has been in the ocean for over 6 years!
🔬Previously, we published a scientific paper after 3 years (the whole time of my PhD!) showing that biodegradable bags could still hold a full bag of shopping – at United Kingdom

Great hearing about careers & journeys of UCL alumni into Gov., NGOs, education, private sector... My take home messages:
1. Almost every speaker spoke of volunteering/non paid work (+MSc) starting their careers #barriers 2. Conservation may no longer be a good name for our field
