Words cannot explain how crazy it is to turn a corner and see a 20 foot version of your face on a wall! I am so grateful and honoured that @globalstreetart have painted this of me for Women’s History Month this year as a woman environmental in environmental spaces, and was super excited to spot my favourite birds on the walls: hummingbirds!
Thank you @ceerichards_ and @ellespaint for your beautiful artwork 💚

There has been a 1088% increase in young people birdwatching! 🦆(Obviously it doesn’t actually matter if something you enjoy is ‘cool’, but it’s interesting to think about why things have changed!) It’s also lovely to hear from amazing people like @outsidewithlira and @emilyinnature_ about their thoughts on all of this 💚

Are you a recent convert to birdwatching?

POV the search for birds has driven you from dry land

To mark #EarthWeek, a collection that reminds us that we are all animals.

Hand-picked by award-winning activist and author Mya-Rose Craig AKA Birdgirl @birdgirluk, Wild Lives explores how animals inspire art and design, fashion and culture and how our relationship with them is shifting from exploitation to empathy and kinship.

We are living through biodiversity loss on a scale unseen – 73% decline in wildlife populations since 1970, according to the World Wildlife Fund. This is a disaster not just for how we exist but how we feel. To lose them is to lose ourselves.

But these graduates point to another path. Garments and conservation tools that mimic animal anatomy. Beauty accessories that mimic marine life made from animal waste products. Animation that reveals the world from an insect perspective. And more...

To mark #EarthWeek, a collection that reminds us that we are all animals.

Hand-picked by award-winning activist and author Mya-Rose Craig AKA Birdgirl @birdgirluk, Wild Lives explores how animals inspire art and design, fashion and culture and how our relationship with them is shifting from exploitation to empathy and kinship.

We are living through biodiversity loss on a scale unseen – 73% decline in wildlife populations since 1970, according to the World Wildlife Fund. This is a disaster not just for how we exist but how we feel. To lose them is to lose ourselves.

But these graduates point to another path. Garments and conservation tools that mimic animal anatomy. Beauty accessories that mimic marine life made from animal waste products. Animation that reveals the world from an insect perspective. And more...

Nature close to home is special. The oak you’ve known for years, the patch of grass suddenly full of bluebells, the shortcut where traffic fades into birdsong, the pond where you always slow down…

Local nature brings everyday joy: it puts a spring in our step and a smile on our faces. 

But the wildlife we love is under threat. And with big decisions ahead, MPs need to hear why these places matter.

We’re asking thousands of you to send a Postcard from Nature to your MP, celebrating the spots – big or small - that bring you joy.

If it matters to you, they need to hear it, so that they protect it.

It’s the future: we’ve solved climate change! The world is equal, and kind! All our issues are solved! So many are fighting right now for this, to make the world a better place, but what does this actually mean? What does this look like?

Is it a circular economy? Sustainable food systems? An end to war and corruption? An end to exploitation of natural resources? Socialist systems put in place?

I’m so excited to be teaming up with @southbankcentre for a wonderful panel to look beyond the climate crisis and explore what a better future means.
