Driven grouse shooting, burning the hills and killing hundreds of thousands of native animals each year for a sport is simply a disaster for biodiversity and climate. Have your say here ๐Ÿ‘‰

PLEASE STOP astroturfing or paving your front garden! We are in a biodiversity and climate crisis. There are lots of ways that you can create a low maintenance, nature friendly and attractive front garden. #RewildYourGarden #MeWilding

We have a choice to make. These are some of the few trees in this whole glen. They survive the grazers by hanging on to this inaccessible crag. Do we need sheep on every inch of our uplands or can we incentivise our farmers to spare more land to allow biodiversity to recover?

๐ŸšจLike nearly all Scottish woods this one is dying out. Over grazing results in zero regeneration. Apart from a tiny couple of exceptions we have ZERO healthy self-regenerating native woodland in Scotland!!!๐Ÿšจ

I know you shouldn't have favourites but the pine marten is certainly up there. Its recovery from almost becoming extinct after years of persecution gives me immense hope for a richer ecological future. Full story from @ScotlandTBP #WildlifeComeback

Scotland's landscapes feel like they are dominated by 3 things Sitka, Sheep and Grouse Shooting. Only around 4% of our land looks like this. If we are going to address the biodiversity crisis we need to consider some big changes. #RewildScotland

If we are to reverse biodiversity loss we are going to have to talk about sheep. I know it will be difficult, I know it will be emotional but together we can do better. I truly believe we can keep a sustainable national flock without needing to graze every inch of our uplands.

Landscape choices. Do many of the 400 lairds who own half of Scotland keep sheep on the uplands just to avoid inheritance tax when they pass it on to their eldest son?

Interesting to see how the regeneration around isolated pines balloons out on the side of the tree opposite to the prevailing wind. With a prevailing SW wind the regeneration is on the NE side of the tree. Highlights how seed source influences the distribution of regeneration.

This is the Curragh 'proposed Natural Heritage Area' in Kildare where on a sunny(ish) day not a single flower is to be seen, not a single butterfly, bee or flying insect. This shredding of vegetation by free-roaming sheep is one of the main reasons we have a biodiversity crisis
