Next week I return to the Kielderhead Wildwood, where I worked as an artist five years ago.
The wildwood is a large area at the Scottish-English border where 39,000 native trees were planted by the local community from 2017-2022, to make a future landscape where there once was once commercial forestry. I made work about the interconnections between humans, trees, fungi and technologies.

Been going on a lot of camera-less walks recently. On those, if I see something pretty, the phone has to suffice. Here's four shots from three walks (top and bottom left were taken today).

Deforestation in #Colombia falls to lowest level in 23 years theguardian.com/world/article/…
"The amount of #forest loss fell from 1,235 sq km in 2022 to 792 sq km in 2023 – a 36% decrease... Most of the environmental gains were in the #Amazon #rainforest, where the Colombian government is focusing much of its conservation efforts... Runaway #deforestation has been reined in and reversed under Gustavo Petro’s government, the first leftist administration in Colombia’s history."

Deforestation harms biodiversity of the Amazon's perfume-loving orchid bees

#Road building almost always precedes #forest loss, and road density is by far the strongest correlate of #deforestation out of 38 #biophysical and #socioeconomic factors.
Findings of the study imply that the most vital #conservation function of protected areas is limiting roads and road-related environmental disruption. They suggest that burgeoning, poorly studied ghost roads are among the gravest of all direct #threats to #tropical forests.
