A very happy world wildlife day to everyone from us here at Black Dad Wood !

It’s World Wildlife Day, and today we’re celebrating the amazing wildlife that makes our world so special, from the tiniest insects to the most iconic species.

There is real progress to celebrate this year, we're happy to share some positive news you might have missed, with some much‑loved animals showing hopeful signs of recovery. Information gathered from WWF.

🐅 Wild tiger numbers have risen from as few as 3,200 in 2010 to around 5,700.

🐼 Giant pandas are now listed as vulnerable rather than endangered.

🦍 Mountain gorillas have also seen their status improve from critically endangered to endangered.

These signs of recovery show what’s possible, but there’s still more to do and countless species remain at risk. Protecting their habitats has never been more important.

Don't waste too much time chasing the sun, remember to always grow in the direction that feels right for YOU.

One step forward, two steps backwards! Such a proud moment, the arrival of our forest toilet last year. Then last week's storm and wind flattened it to the ground. What it looks like now in the comments
