Thanks for the warning! He was very progressive in his thinking. I'd missed the Reith lecture but did find the Ecologist editorial that was your typescript! Worth noting what FFD said about ecology vs economics at the lecture. He was right to be pessimistic - Stockholm was rigged!

Just brilliant -

I've heard of it but hadn't seen anything. Does this help?

Catching up on some Sunday reading and, given the events recently, the 8 words at the end of this chapter strike home. To know these would be part of the current struggle (from "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism - Zuboff) -

Why have laws if you won't enforce them? autumnappeal.birdlife.org.au/donate

It says something if a UN human rights expert gets involved. -

Sometimes you have to love the juxtaposition of stories in the media (the Guardian in this case). Guess the odd one out!

Please tell me this is a joke and not the main reason behind this stupidity.

I'll admit it's tough keeping up with the brief but very rewarding. My latest 6 of the best in #ecology for @britishecologicalsociety.org

Happy to review this one - close to my research heart - @britishecologicalsociety.org

Fascinating look at a less theoretical perspective in introductory #ecology - @britishecologicalsociety.org

Interesting text on the ways in which ecology can be a career rather than just science - @britishecologicalsociety.org

If you continually underfund key agencies, don't expect to find them able to work at speed or volume. #planning #conservation - www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It's not just the site, it's the user design. And why call it The Bureau - sounds like a tv series or mafia headquarters. We are da management! - www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Some irony here! Just working through a key text for the new economic order which warned, ironically, against such an approach as we see today. Care to name the text?

I consider myself fairly good with #biodiversity #semantics. however, this word salad has temporarily floored me! Any translations into anything vaguely ecological? @euanritchie.bsky.social www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

So, the underlying point is that we should see space exploration as a net benefit but Earth as a net cost? Fascinating juxtaposition of articles -

It's always a joy to be able to review 6 new books on a topic for @britishecologicalsociety.org @harrisonke.bsky.social . This time, #decolonising #ecology!

When we are constantly told that no-one supports action on #climatechange -

This resonates! I'm going to enjoy tucking into this! Elgin - Epistemic Ecology MIT. The title caught me (lack of actual ecology!) but I'm going to see where this goes!

I told you #geographyteachers could be dangerous. 😂😂

They've been doing an excellent job for years, just not in the way you thought. Chomsky 1988!

Interesting to see where scientists are trusted most. Here's NZs take - theconversation.com/despite-fear...

I love the serendipity of research! Looking for something, find something else, but interesting. Was Nixon an environmental president? When did the US start objecting to economic reparations? Actually c 1972: Stunning to see so much material. nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-boo...

Annoying pop ups for the first time. Don't need them, not clicking on them. Ideas on how to remove?

As usual, I was looking for something else but found this stored away. Given the #freespeech discussion going around, it might help if discourse was a little more profound that we are seeing at the moment:

So, I check the news before work and get this. Nice example of irony and juxtaposition (from the top!) - story, detail, analysis, explanation!

One of the more intriguing #ecology books of 2024 - land sparing, politics of #biodiversity and the destruction of the #Amazon - @britishecolsoc.bsky.social 🌏

These are fun to research and write up. Pick a topic, find 6 new books. Here's my Christmas selection! Next year starts with Biodiversity. Further suggestions welcomed. @britishecolsoc.bsky.social

If we are thinking about any #biodiversity #credit scheme, then we have to know, accurately, what one unit of nature is worth and how it can be defined/delineated. Not an easy proposition, might be impossible in some cases. Of course #economics is not #ecology so that might explain part of it.
