Creepily fast reply to say YES to this! Such a well done series - might even prefer it to the official doc on Jim Henson

10 years ago, there was only a single 'leathceann' (windswept) birch tree in the foreground.

Now, there's a full-on exploding diverse native rainforest, none of which was planted. All it took was fencing out sheep.

Let's rewild the world 🌏

The CONN OF THE DEAD audiobook has been released!

This was such a blast to read so if you've got a horror-lover aged 9 - 11 (particularly one who's neurodivergent) this is the peril-packed few hours for them.

There's even a sample here to check out!

Never thought I'd be writing this but @robin.berjon.com and my "We Need to Rewild the Internet" is in the Best American Science and Nature Writing 2025 and the cover reveal is TODAY!

The cover looks very network rewild-y indeed :-)

Rereading it with friends at the moment and it still hits me hard but I'm also discovering new layers that passed me by in my younger years. Stunning series
