It is easy to announce targets, but another thing to achieve them. I hope that Brazil succeeds. 🌍 #amazonrainforest #amazonia #amazon news.mongabay.com/2026/01/braz...

- In April 2023 we made a pond in our garden in southeast Hampshire. In spring 2024 three male Common Frogs turned up but no females arrived. This evening we have eight male Common Frogs, hopefully some females will arrive soon! Also our first Smooth Newt this evening too. @arc-trust.bsky.social
- My first reptile of year, a tiny Slow Worm under a plank of wood at our allotment in southeast Hampshire. Safely moved to a compost heap nearby. @arc-trust.bsky.social #reptile #Britishreptiles
- Here are a few photos from a fabulous trip to Australia back in November 2024. I loved being in such a megadiverse country with so many amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Even the centre of Brisbane city was teaming with wildlife. #AustralianWildlife #megadiverse
