‘It’s like flowers on steroids’: what happened when scientists heated a Rocky Mountain wildlife meadow by 2C?

A long-running experiment in Colorado provides an ‘alarming’ view of how rapidly unchecked global heating could transform fragile ecosystems

Bid to save early #rewilding site that hosts rare #nightingales and #TurtleDoves

#Conservationists have launched a £1.5 million appeal to buy #farmland that was left to #nature 37 years ago

"A farm left to nature years before 'rewilding' rose to prominence has become a unique and important site for wildlife, say conservationists launching a bid to save it.

"The owner of Strawberry Hill, near Bedford, stopped farming his land 37 years ago, with once-arable fields reverting to #scrubland that is now a haven for a host of #wildlife including threatened nightingales, #cuckoos and turtle doves.

"But the 150-hectare (377-acre) site has no official designations or protections, and following the owner’s death, there were fears the land could be sold and returned to agriculture.

"After gaining a temporary stay of execution for the site, the #WildlifeTrust for Beds, Cambs and Northants (#BCN) has raised enough money to buy half the land.

"Now the conservation charity is launching a £1.5 million appeal to secure the whole site, saving the habitat and its rich wildlife and providing a 'unique' opportunity to have a decades-long head start on rewilding the land for nature."

Dear Friends of [insert choice preferences] ✔️

As we may no ... or Know, not everyone is #agreeable to #agreement.
For example, in the UK due to a special bilateral agreement, 'New Rwanda' may be moved to #scrubland in #Scotland. #Plans are also #afloat for a '#Neo Zion'. 🦄

#Settlers will be #offered #training, a #kilt and #materials to #build a #sustainable #forested #home and a #choice of #books eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Book_(Gaddafi)

Meanwhile ... I will be pressing our #current #London Mayor to order his police to invade the untaxed #areas of the other Mayor of London in the 'Square Mile', who has his/her own City Police ...
