皇冠体育app鈥檙e halfway to our target of 拢90,000 and to celebrate, wildlife presenter Chris Packham is offering five lucky people the chance to join him for an afternoon鈥檚 birdwatching, getting up close to some of his favourite birds of prey at the Hawk Conservancy Trust near Andover.

To get your name in the hat, all you need to do is - and five winners will be chosen at random, it doesn鈥檛 matter how much you donate.

Horse Common, a very special place
Once a damp woodland, Horse Common was drained to plant conifers. If we rewet this area, it can become home again to declining bird species such as lesser spotted woodpeckers, willow tits and butterflies like the silver-washed fritillary.

Horse Common is next to an existing RSPB reserve called Franchises Lodge and the purchase will help connect other habitats 鈥� woodland and heathland 鈥� into a bigger haven for nature.

Climate Clock

The Climate Clock is a version of the Doomsday clock that has been running since 1947 - this tracks the risk of global man-made disaster, through man made technology (like nuclear weapons) - displaying the minutes and seconds left before midnight, when disaster strikes. The climate crisis is a small part of the calculations made.The climate clock uses a similar approach, but, focuses only on the climate crisis - which is the biggest and most urgent existential threat we face."The Climate Clock is a countdown to the biggest man-made disaster we face - but also a measure by which we can track our progress - moving from fossil to renewable energy. It shows we have no time to lose - the clock is ticking鈥�" Dale Vince, OBE.
