The #environmentalists here will find this amusing - a friend (slightly older, retired from a tech job with a good pension) went up North to visit friends and relatives.
He drives a used #NissanLeaf - I asked him "how many times will you have to recharge that during the journey?"
His reply - "I'm getting the #train - its more civilised" 
(he does at least have the spare time and cash for the longer journey and train tickets) #UK #Transport #Travel
European nations have voted to allow the killing of #wolves starting in March 2025. The decision, made under the #BernConvention, follows pressure from farmers and was supported by EU Commission President #UrsulaVonDerLeyen.
#Environmentalists around the world have expressed concern that prioritizing #slaughter over non-lethal management will threaten recovery efforts in areas where wolves remain #endangered.

For anyone who feels down or exhausted due to the 2024 election, I really recommend reading or watching Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events. It's time to become a volunteer.

I spent 3.5 months here in my first #CivilDisobedience action in my teens. Which led to a lifelong commitment to protect all old growth in BC.

My friend, Jane, from Lake Cowichan, was the first senior citizen activist who was arrested in 2021, at Fairy Creek Blockades. She messaged before heading out to meet up with me at HQ camp. She told me she's never been arrested for protesting anything before but due to seeing too much ecocide still happening in her golden years - declared, 'Getting arrested for protecting Mother Nature is now on my bucket list"
Jane stayed at HQ camp for 2 nights & on her 3rd day, headed out to chain herself/walker to a tripod hardblock. Jane was arrested, along with 12 others that day, after several hours. Jane is a wonderful human being, a musician, a fibers artist, a Mother & Grandmother, who loves nature very much.
In #Zimbabwe, #drought has stifled #foodsecurity so heavily that officials have authorized a mass #slaughter of 200 #elephants for #food. Nearly half of the #population is facing #starvation. The plan follows a similar decision from officials in #Namibia to #cull other wild #animals to relieve #drought-related #food #shortages. The plan is faced with opposition from animal rights groups and #environmentalists. Read more: https://www.isciences.com/blog/2024/09/23/africa-surplus-emerges-along-the-sahel
