Habayta. One of the most beautiful words in the Hebrew language. It means "home" in the sense of "homeward." Three syllables charged with so much meaning.

Big news: Pine martens are BACK in Exmoor! After 100+ years, 19 animals have been reintroduced as part of the Two Moors Pine Marten Project. They will restore balance to our woodland, find out more 👉 https://t.co/I3KOvinNvN Made possible by @HeritageFundUK

Yesterday we were proud to stand with thousands in Trafalgar Square to commemorate the second anniversary of October 7th 2023, remember the lives lost and call for the release of all hostages. This was made even more poignant as we also paid tribute Melvin Cravitz and Adrian

On Yom Kippur— the holiest day for Jews— a synagogue in Manchester became a crime scene. Two murdered, more injured. This is what happens when hate is normalised, when Jew-haters are allowed to roam free. It has to stop.

On the holiest day of the year we are attacked at a Manchester synagogue. Our children walk to school behind barbed wire protected by guns. Yet some still answer this atrocity with “what about…” This is my country, the sanctuary my grandfather found after surviving the

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make." — Farewell, Dr Jane Goodall. Your life’s work has been a profound source of inspiration and an enduring call to action for our natural world.

The Board of Deputies wishes you a Shanah Tovah Umetukah, a sweet and healthy new year!

One more step for Nature recovery in England marked with an extension to the Ingleborough National Nature Reserve in Yorkshire. This beautiful area hosts a wealth of scarce wildlife. The @NaturalEngland team is very proud to work with such wonderful partners in making this happen

🇬🇧 An estimated 70,000 people attended Britain’s March Against Antisemitism today. This protest decrying the explosion of antisemitic hatred across the UK comes on the same day a new study revealed one-in-five Britons harbor antisemitic beliefs. Fighting antisemitism is more

Over grazing land will expose the farm to weather variability. Tall plants = deep roots, making space for air and water in the soil. Tall plants, even after trampling by the beef cattle, shield soil from the heat of the sun. They also capture more sunlight, speeding regrowth.

Few creatures are as emblematic of Britain as the water vole, famously immortalised as 'Ratty' in The Wind in the Willows. It's heartening to see reintroduction of the species to areas where it has been lost, alongside the restoration of vital habitats. https://t.co/hO0s0raiyN

On August 23, 1989, about 2 million people from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania formed a 600 km long human chain that united all 3 countries to show the world their desire to leave the Soviet Union and Communism.

Over 1,500 hectares of rare upland habitat now secured at Stiperstones—one of England’s most vital National Nature Reserves. This landscape helps wildlife thrive and fights climate change by storing carbon and reducing flood risk. Find out more: ⬇️ https://t.co/NaoTWGXcRo

About 70% of the UK's drinking water comes from upland catchments — so we need to make them more drought-resilient. Restoring peat bogs and clough woodlands can slow the release of water into reservoirs, playing an important part in stabilising supplies.

This is not a complicated matter. Beavers restore balance to ecosystems, bolster our defences against flooding, and strengthen resilience against drought and wildfires. To delay such action is not just shortsighted — it is profoundly irresponsible. https://t.co/Na1QehvLKy

On this day, 17 years ago, we purchased the 10,000-acre Dundreggan estate - a former shooting estate transformed into a thriving rewilding landscape. 🌳 @VisitDundreggan to experience #rewilding in action. Discover more about Dundreggan 👉 https://t.co/SCJV4KW5Q2

Few things are more patriotic than spending time in the British countryside. We're lucky to call one of the world's most beautiful countries our home. Respect to @RishiSunak for flying the flag for it. I hope you had a great day!
