Working in conservation can be a tad depressing. There's a lot of stories of species in trouble, rapid population declines and extinctions, global warming concerns etc etc. So it's a genuine pleasure when I hear a story that reminds me that we are not just delaying the inevitable, treading water until the funding runs out. Sometimes the work we do makes a huge difference. And every now and then it does so as a result of people - communities, conservationists, landowners, funders - all working in partnership to achieve a common goal.
I have had the privilege to work on the Isles of Scilly for several years now, and in the last 12 months or more have been able to tell that story to a select audience. Last night it featured on BBC Countryfile, and I strongly recommend that you all click here to see the coverage for yourselves! Also check out the website for more info. Enjoy!
