Misogyny is highlighted by the fact that when organisations do do something it's often a tick box exercise, then it's back to the norm. People with privilege are on the front row & literally cannot see the struggles of those in the rows behind them. They have to turn round, respect & LISTEN.

6. Another big part of the problem is the media seemingly being allergic to female ecologists trying to spread eco literacy on this.
I pitched to write on this for the Guardian a few years ago because of all the media & NGO greenwashing, but they weren’t interested.

The status quo suits the privileged #NaturePatriarchy & their posh vanilla lady friends.
There are countless brilliant interesting women in ecology, biology & conservation who could speak at #Birdfair but for years have not felt equally welcome by the clique, the culture & the policies.

I’ve warned on this before & got ignored/bullied /cancelled by the #NaturePatriarchy
If you’re a media editor looking for proper expertise on conservation, hire me instead of copying press releases from vested interest businesses or paying unqualified nature celebrities or promoting billionaires

I’m glad to see @arc-trust.bsky.social make this strong statement against rogue reintroductions.
I share the concerns, as an ecologist, journalist & conservation comms worker who tackles misinfo.
The media should listen to experts instead of promoting clickbait.

A lot of the UK charity sector & rewilding is compromised by Ben Goldsmith’s cash.
It’s always baffled me that his fans include the Guardian, Packham, Monbiot, Avery, Barkham, Gow & other posh boys in the #NaturePatriarchy
His new support for Reform is another reminder of why this is problematic.

Yes indeed. He is also a wife hitter and a bully. Quite a few women have lobbied to have him deplatformed in the past due to his behaviour.
He’s not even qualified. Got himself on the Defra board by nepotism.
Another very privileged member of the old boys’ network. Charlatan.

Exactly. And why is he the darling of the Guardian news group, of Packham, Monbiot, Avery & others who frame themselves as supposedly progressive /on the left? I wonder if very privileged white men cannot see it, or if they simply shut their eyes when they promote him.

Yes sadly I’m a terrible person too in the eyes of the #NaturePatriarchy for pointing out to famous influencers (promoted by the Guardian) that:
🌳Tree plantations are not rainforests
🌹Exotic flower beds are not wildflower meadows
🐸 Imported French tree frogs & their offspring are not rewilding
😬

I’ve fallen out a couple of good people who let their feelings and beliefs get it the way of facts and science. Apparently I’m a terrible person for advising on a local grassland management plan that will have the least impact on small mammals.
