The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a shame, especially when we need to be connecting with nature more than ever. If we want people to protect our wildlife, we have to show them it! Add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...
Tell the BBC: Save Winterwatch!
The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:

New sentencing guidelines for hare coursing were introduced on 1 June. The most serious hare coursing offences now carry a custodial starting point of 18 weeks. But they fail to properly tackle a bloodsport that sees hares relentlessly chased and killed by dogs.

PERSON OF THE DAY. 24 May 1941. Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) was born in Duluth, Minnesota, USA. He’s one of the most original and imaginative lyricists of all time. His most celebrated work came in his 1960s heyday. He’s also the only rock star ever awarded a Nobel Prize.
