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.

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.

A brilliant argument against driven grouse shooting, a ’sport’ which dominates large areas of our uplands for the enjoyment of a tiny minority. It outlines the persecution of wildlife, including endangered species such as the Hen Harrier, as well as the environmental damage caused by the management of these moors. A sobering but excellent read.
