A lot of the UK charity sector & rewilding is compromised by Ben Goldsmith’s cash.
It’s always baffled me that his fans include the Guardian, Packham, Monbiot, Avery, Barkham, Gow & other posh boys in the #NaturePatriarchy
His new support for Reform is another reminder of why this is problematic.
Exactly. And why is he the darling of the Guardian news group, of Packham, Monbiot, Avery & others who frame themselves as supposedly progressive /on the left? I wonder if very privileged white men cannot see it, or if they simply shut their eyes when they promote him.
#NaturePatriarchy
Yes indeed. He is also a wife hitter and a bully. Quite a few women have lobbied to have him deplatformed in the past due to his behaviour.
He’s not even qualified. Got himself on the Defra board by nepotism.
Another very privileged member of the old boys’ network. Charlatan.
#NaturePatriarchy
I’ve warned on this before & got ignored/bullied /cancelled by the #NaturePatriarchy
If you’re a media editor looking for proper expertise on conservation, hire me instead of copying press releases from vested interest businesses or paying unqualified nature celebrities or promoting billionaires
The status quo suits the privileged #NaturePatriarchy & their posh vanilla lady friends.
There are countless brilliant interesting women in ecology, biology & conservation who could speak at #Birdfair but for years have not felt equally welcome by the clique, the culture & the policies.
Yes sadly I’m a terrible person too in the eyes of the #NaturePatriarchy for pointing out to famous influencers (promoted by the Guardian) that:
🌳Tree plantations are not rainforests
🌹Exotic flower beds are not wildflower meadows
🐸 Imported French tree frogs & their offspring are not rewilding
😬
