Fighting for attention? 🐦

'Prairie Chicken Jump Off' by Peter Hudson captures two male prairie chickens locked in combat, competing for a mate.

Over the past decade, Capturing Ecology has showcased the extraordinary diversity of the animal kingdom through a fun, thought-provoking lens.

This year, we're thrilled to be partnering with ZSL for the animal category of Capturing Ecology, championing the diversity of our wildlife and encouraging a wonder of the natural world through photography.

From quiet moments to dramatic encounters, we're looking for images that tell meaningful stories about animal behaviour, habitats and the challenges species face every day. Enter today!

This is your chance to tell a story and make us think. 📸

If you're interested in expanding your knowledge about Nature-based solutions, whether in practice or research, join us this June in York.

With scientists, practitioners, and green finance professionals in the room, we will be exploring evidence gaps, funding solutions, and successful case studies to understand how NbS can be implemented at a larger scale.

No mow May brings life to your garden🦋🐛🕷️🐞🐝

What might you discover? 👀

from our friend at Plantlife: saving wild plants is one of the easiest ways to help the environment – letting wildflowers grow to support wildlife.

🤝Even the smallest wild patches count! So, pack away the lawnmower and join thousands of people taking part in the No Mow Movement.

🌼Letting wildflowers and wildlife thrive in May and beyond can make a huge difference in your garden or local green space.

Pledge to let it grow 👉 https://f.mtr.cool/wjjmjkuyca
