The eagle management scheme better not involve any culling

@johnswinney.bsky.social when will you denounce the unsustainable and quite frankly evil giga hunt?

Great stuff, but he still denounces apex predator reintroduction and without them the Ecology of Scotland and the rest of the UK will never be stable or healthy. He doesn't really care.

If you cared for Scotland, you would want it to be it's best self. This includes a healthy environment. Today it is a shadow of what it once was or could be.

Shame you can't run in a healthy landscape. Maybe allowing the reintroduction of apex predators will help make Scotland better ecologically, allowing for more dynamic environments. Maybe you can do that, instead of being a timid mouse.

Wonderful stuff! Hopefully this will pave the way for wolves, elk, and bears in the future.

We’re preparing to launch a pioneering Missing Species Programme to bring back four of Scotland’s lost keystone animals – lynx, beavers, red squirrels, and modern-day aurochs – to the Scottish Highlands. Read more 👉https://bit.ly/49kEjFo

On my way to teach why wolves are our best friend

Yes, overgrazing by sheep and deer is abundant. And more forest is non-native pine. Needs more wildlife imo. Don't get me wrong it's better than the rest of the UK, but could be a lot better.

Zambia looks after it's landscape and it's wildlife, why don't you learn from them?

Don't do deals with those Nazis, selling out isn't looking after your people.

It's a fundamental issue that humans cannot replicate the effects of wolves and lynx. We need that landscape of fear implemented by a predator that is permanently present in the environment. To think humans can do the same job is arrogant.

Good stuff, now could you scrap your anti-nature stance on apex predator reintroduction? Scotland does better when nature thrives. Right now it's in a terrible state.

Horribly invasive here in Britain and I imagine causing issues in the states too. 40 million are introduced each year just for hunting sports. Acting as a massive vector for disease such as bird fly and consuming our native reptile en masse. Beautiful but this injustice can't continue.

Reform propaganda-fest has to end. We need government to respond to our call for proper coverage of ALL our parties by our broadcasters. Sign now & pass round like your life depends on it because really it does. democracy at stake! 6k needs to be 10k by sep13 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

If you truly cared about Scotland natural beauty you wouldn't allow it to be spoiled by letting sheep farmers run amok. And prevent native species being reintroduced. You're such a fake patriot.

Mosquito population in area: -3

None in Europe it seems like :(

NEW STUDY: Support for the ESA has held steady at ~84% for 30 years.

58% want stronger protections.
65% back permanent safeguards.
Conservative opposition? Down 50%.

The attacks on the ESA aren’t public-driven—they’re political.

Thanks for being so nice!

Ive had this exact same daydream before

I'm confused by the statement "Scottish sycamore" as I was under the impression that all maples except field maple are non-native

Thank you to Mexico 🇲🇽 for stepping up and helping in Texas!

The Bald Eagle only exists today because we protected it—fully, consistently, without apology.

Now imagine if wolves were given that same chance.

The ESA works. The question is whether we have the tenacity to defend it.

Still ignoring the blighted state of nature in Scotland in favour of the failing sheep industry though. Not even small farms either, mainly wealthy landowners that use them as a piggy bank for subsidies. You honestly just don't care about the Scottish landscape.

Answer is apex predators, they regulate meso predators too

Coyotes tend to stick to smaller prey species for the most part. Only predators present in the ecosystem all the time that use deer as a regular prey source will influence their feeding behaviour. Ultimately this can also regulate their numbers by lowering reproductive success.

Yet without the presence of apex predators like wolves and lynx in these areas, deer grazing exceeds the forests ability to regenerate. Only restoration of these keystone species will help fix this imbalance, as fences and stalkers do not work in the same way, and work against natural processes.
