As well as writing ideas and making films we'll bring you news on the environment, updates of what we are up to and what we are reading and watching. There is so much going on out there and if you have a story you think we should know about please get in touch.

We all know how tedious a commute to work can be. So catching small snippets of other peoples conversations and gossip can be a fun distraction but for squirrels this eavesdropping can be life saving.
Also the Lock Ness Monster, is it just and just an Eel? Germany planning to shut down coal power plants, and T-rex brain 'air-con'.... -
'Fish cannon', two words I hadn't thought I would ever see connected, but this ingenious invention is helping save the dwindling numbers of America's Salmon by easing their passage past dams.
Also three 'masterminds' behind a Rhino horn smuggling syndicate arrested in South Africa, and some great photos from the Science Photographer of the Year.... -
Some good news about arresting the effects of climate, it turns out the planting of trees may have more of a positive effect than was previously expected. It also appears to be one of the most cost effective and beautiful ways of combating increasing CO2 levels.
Also Beluga Whales and their funny heads.... -
Just when you think we know all about nature its nice that it still has the ability to astound us. One such story is the epic migration of a female Arctic fox who in a mere 76 days walked over two thousand miles, a journey from Norway over the sea ice to Greenland and finally onto Ellesmere Island in Canada.

Its good to know that the efforts of individuals and small groups can really help change things for the good and bring animals back from the brink. Well deserved recognition for Jon Paul Rodriguez for his work helping the endangered Yellow Shouldered Parrot.
Also 100 hours without coal and the value of Hippo poop..... -
With the chaos of Brexit going on around us , perhaps its time to look to our animal friends to lead. Here's a fun summary of creatures that have run for political office and a few that have won.
On a more serious note, Ugandans vow to curb deforestation and Sweden leads the way with battery powered ferries.
Also the wolf within.... -
In amongst the doom and gloom nature still has the potential to surprise us, as scientists discover one of the largest living things on Earth is even bigger and older than previously thought, and looking for a New Year's resolution, a compelling argument as to why eating less meat should be top of your list.

Some very convincing arguments that invasive species are more often then not beneficial, or at least benign, to local ecosystems. There’s often an element of nationalistic fervour when it comes to these ‘foreign’ interlopers and vast sums of money are spent by governments to defeat them.

Scoresby Sund in Greenland is the longest Fjord in the world. 350km to be precise. During the recent Ice Age it would have been a large glacier slowly carving a valley through the landscape. Now the main body of ice has retreated and melted to be replaced by the rising sea, also known as a Fjord :)

The management of grouse moors features in the news this week. At the heart of the ‘sport’ of driven grouse shooting is the ability to shoot as many red grouse as one can. The land is managed to maintain the highest possible population of grouse. Threats to the bird (stoats, weasels, hares and birds of prey, to name but a few) are not tolerated.
So animals are killed to ensure that lots of other animals can be killed for a few individual’s pleasure. And this is the UK in the 21st Century.

Sometimes we’re so keen to save iconic species around the world that we forget about our own local wildlife. It is a sad fact that we live in one of the most denatured landscapes in the world. A provocative and original book that doesn't always make for easy reading. For a nation of nature lovers, we must do a lot better...
