The @DailMailUK @MailOnline have published a correction following a misleading article about my successful defamation claim against @fieldsportstv . FSTV have apologised and begun staged payments of costs and damages . Truth hurts sometimes doesn’t it .
What a farce - especially with COP 28 starting in the UAE. Offsetting is a big cop-out itself, giving permission for polluters to hide behind their investment in carbon credits. edition.cnn.com/2023/11/22/cli…

What is this crap about allocating a third of the planet to nature conservation! We need to share 100% of this amazing home we share with the millions of lifeforms who live here too. The presumption that we 'own' this amazing miracle of Planet Earth sickens me. We don't own it.

We're changing the way we deal with extensions to from existing stewardship agreements. From 1 January 2023 you'll be able to (a) extend for 5 years instead of 1, and (b) exit CS/HLS early with no penalty if you want to transfer to another scheme defrafarming.blog.gov.uk/2022/08/15/env…

"Is Tibet a country?" This is the most Googled question about Tibet. A very simple question, but probably the most important. So, let us be very clear. Tibet is a country. China invaded Tibet in 1950 and has kept it under military occupation ever since.
Working with @NorthPennAONB & @PenninePeatLIFE we have updated our #peatland code leaflets so if you're a landowner looking to unlock private finance for restoration or a buyer looking to invest in verified carbon units please check them out 👉iucn-uk-peatlandprogramme.org/peatland-code/…
