#386: Meeting Wales' needs

Food and farming have an impact on biodiversity and the importance of farmers as stewards of, and creators of, the British landscape is something that any GCSE in Natural History would have to tackle. The approaches are different in the different UK countries. This item from WWF Cymru from 2022 is a reminder of the impact of farming in other countries... to meet the demand from the UK...

Wales & Global Responsibility - @WWFCymru

An area equivalent to 40% of the @sizeofwales is used overseas to grow commodities imported into Wales, having a catastrophic effect on the world’s forests & critical habitats! #DeforestationFreeNationhttps://t.co/wcEDYwZ2mu pic.twitter.com/DE4QzX8mKM

#252: WorldWildlife Day - 3rd March

World Wildlife Day is the 3rd of March.

Various brands are removing signs of nature from their logo, the idea being that in a #WorldWithoutNature nothing is possible. What others can you find on the hashtag? What others could you suggest?

Nothing survives in a #WorldWithoutNature. Not Barley. Not hops. Not us. So this #WorldWildlifeDay, join us in raising awareness about the dramatic loss of biodiversity in the UK, and what positive steps we can take to be kinder to the natural world around us. pic.twitter.com/FjYAOKIBXt

We’ve altered these images of our Gardens to highlight the nature crisis.

We must take action to tackle this crisis, for the simple reason that all life on earth depends on biodiversity. #WorldWithoutNature @wwf_uk ##WorldWildlifeDay pic.twitter.com/ekpP8y7bNI

#142: Forest Stripes from WWF

A new update in the list of visualisations which students should be introduced to. I've previously posted about the Biodiversity Stripes.

The Forest Stripes show the decline in forest species.

Been working on a tree report 💚 V lucky to have worked with team Stripes on a beautiful illustration for it. When we lose forests, we lose forest wildlife & the natural forest systems 1.6 Billion people depend on. https://t.co/iRO1IgHl3Z 🌳💚 ➡️https://t.co/4jkbLdtwOS https://t.co/B4TR2fAYBj
