‘Wild venison served in schools for first time’ There is no meat more healthy or sustainable than wild venison. In the absence of predators such as lynx and wolves, deer numbers are out of control across Britain. Eating them makes good sense. thetimes.com/article/387df1…

Meet the Dalmatian pelican 🪽, a spectacular bird that once soared over Britain’s extensive wetlands. Driven to extinction in Britain nearly 2000 years ago, these magnificent birds could take to Britain’s skies again. #RewildingBritain #DalmatianPelican (1/2)
