💡Top tips for helping stag beetles 🪲
#stagbeetles #wildlife #gardening
But one population now needs urgent help. 🙏 Find out more here ptes.org/conservation...
Sadly, these small antelopes face ongoing threats making the species critically endangered. PTES is working with #SaigaConservationAlliance to provide a future for these unique animals in #Uzbekistan and so far numbers have made a remarkable recovery in many areas.
#Saigas are true survivors, exceptional in their ability to adapt to the most harsh environments and extreme conditions. They’re also important to the people they share their land with, and are known as “spirits of the steppe”. Numerous folktales and legends persist about them, even today. 🐐
Despite their cartoonish faces, #saiga antelope are tough creatures, and have roamed the earth since the ice age. 🐽🦂🌵
Their iconic wobbly trunk-like noses and large eyes make it hard to confuse them with any other! But it’s not all about the looks...

We don’t know exactly when hedges were first planted but there's evidence of field boundaries since the Bronze Age. Some of these still remain as the banks below some of our most ancient hedges. The hedges that cross our landscape sometimes have a checkered past, their history is entwined with ours.

Like admirers of ornate cornicing and period charm, these reptiles seek out the cracks and crevices of old churches and crumbling stonework.
