If you are planning to vote for Scottish Greens don’t be duped by Independent Green Voice nothing environmental or organic about them. Set up by neo-fascist BNP/UKIP. A scandal that they are allowed to use the words green, organic and have a leaf in logo.

Tonight Wednesday 15th April.

A lynx with piercing eyes lies amid dry fallen leaves, partially concealed by evergreen branches.

Whether lynx return to Scotland is ultimately a choice for the Scottish public. Today’s Scottish Green Party manifesto reiterates their support for lynx reintroduction. How will other parties approach this issue?

I can’t recommend these courses enough.

A deer stalker in outdoor clothing uses binoculars to scan a moorland landscape with trees and snow-capped mountains in the distance, under a blue sky. They have a rifle slung over their back.

Another reason to save our woodlands: a red listed Woodcock.

Michigan permanently protected 73k acres in the U.P. and secured public access $20 million conservation deal protects wolf, moose and brook trout habitat while opening the land to hunting, fishing, hiking and off-road recreation.

Some good news.

Collage featuring images of wildlife: a salmon leaping through water, a close-up of a wood ant, a Eurasian lynx in a grassy area, common oysters underwater, and a Eurasian beaver swimming. A green panel with a stylised logo of hills, trees and a river contains the text: "What does Reform UK’s manifesto mean for nature? Scotland’s keystone species respond."

Graphic with a green header saying "Meet our panel" in yellow text. Below, illustrations of a beaver, salmon, lynx, oyster, and ant are aligned vertically. Text reads "Over the coming month, our panel of Scotland's keystone species will be reviewing the 2026 election manifestos and scoring them based on what they deliver for nature. Because if a policy doesn’t work for nature, does it really work for us? First up: Reform UK."

Analysis of the Reform UK manifesto in a scorecard style, based on how it delivers for nature. Illustrations of a beaver, salmon, lynx, oyster, and ant are aligned vertically, alongside each animal's ratings and a quote. Beaver (2/5 trees) notes the need for funding in coexistence and restoration. Salmon (1/5 pebbles) criticises lack of river mentions. Lynx (1/5 paws) highlights need for lynx reintroduction support. Oyster (0/5 water drops) notes omission of sustainable fishing. Wood ant (2/5 aphids) comments on concerns about funding for native woodlands. Icons visually represent the ratings.

A graphic titled "Open letter from one very busy beaver" features an illustration of a beaver. Below, on a green background, the text reads: "Dear candidates, I was feeling pretty chuffed with myself, honestly – reducing floods, boosting biodiversity and improving local water quality, all without filing an expense claim. But I just read the first of the election manifestos – and I don’t even get a mention. I’ve spent years proving my worth, but it still feels like I’m on a probation period that never ends. I’m staring at a small leak in my pond right now. The water’s trickling out – a bit like my patience. Dam it. I’ve shown you what’s possible. Now I need you alongside me – or all this good work only goes so far."

Ahead of the election, we’ve asked our panel of Scotland's keystone species to review the 2026 manifestos and assess how well they deliver for nature and the ecosystems we all depend on. First up: Reform UK.

Let that sink in when you are deciding which party to vote for in May.

A lynx took the place of the missing Conservative panelist at tonight’s rewilding hustings. They were very good. @markruskell.bsky.social

Labour plans curbs on pheasant shooting in ‘declaration of war’ Countryside campaigners say proposals to tighten regulations on bird releases will threaten rural economies. Environmentalists say they are long overdue

“Any idea that this is part of some time-honoured English tradition is absolute rubbish. This is an almost wholly unregulated industry. I am glad to see it being licensed.”

I spoke to the Times on why we shouldn’t let landowners release 50million pheasants per year:

This film explores the choices facing Scotland’s nature. For us, the answer's simple: we choose rewilding. Tomorrow, on #WorldRewildingDay, we’re standing with the @scotrewilding.bsky.social – taking our message to politicians at the #HopeForNature hustings.
