Title image : Grey-banded Mining Bee (Andrena denticulata) Steven Falk Wild Belfast and Buglife have come together to highlight the alarming loss of wildlife-rich brownfield habitat across Belfast. Some brownfield sites in Belfast can support rare and endangered wildlife, including well-loved species such as Red-shanked Carder Bee (Bombus ruderarius), Common Lizard (Zootoca vivipara) and Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus). However, many of these nature hotspots are at risk from being lost to development. Belfast wildlife needs protection "The state of Belfast's brownfields: nature under threat" 2024 report shows that over a seven-year period, 40% of 47 brownfield sites that Buglife had previously identified as important for wildlife in Belfast have been lost, damaged or are in immediate threat. Concerningly, when live planning applications are also considered, over 60% of the total area of this vital habitat has either been lost or is under immediate threat- with potentially profound impacts for nature in the city. Brownfields can support a huge diversity of wildlife, often providing refuges for species which have suffered population crashes as a result of habitat loss, such as wildflower meadows disappearing from the landscape. They can include quarries, disused railways lines, spoil heaps, even former industrial estates that have been allowed to develop into urban havens for wildlife. Sadly, despite often being the last remaining 'wild' green spaces in Belfast's neighbourhoods, brownfields are frequently targeted for development. Conor McKinney, Chair of the Wild Belfast community group says, "Now is a critical period for the protection of biodiversity. Our planning system offers the potential to protect and enhance biodiversity- or to destroy it. Despite being a priority habitat our planning system is currently failing to protect wildlife-rich brownfield sites in Belfast, or indeed across Northern Ireland. Nature and planning authorities must seize the opportunities available to them to protect these sites for nature and the communities with which they share these valuable wild urban spaces". Buglife has previously identified and measured the extent of brownfields important for invertebrates in a 2017 report- a habitat often referred to as 'Open mosaic habitat on previously developed land'. Shortly after that report, the habitat was listed as a conservation priority in Northern Ireland. However, this new study that revisits these sites suggests that despite this commitment, these important wildlife sites are still being lost, hindering the city's nature recovery ambitions. Jamie Robins, Programmes Manager of Buglife says, "Brownfields which have been reclaimed by nature are becoming increasingly important for our rare invertebrates as the wider countryside is degraded. We need to do more to protect these wildlife havens. The remaining wildlife-rich brownfields should be protected from development and embraced as a key nature recovery solution, and celebrating the role they have to play in giving communities a place to connect with nature." The 2024 report suggests that Belfast's brownfields need to be better recognised and protected by the planning system. It also suggests that the best sites be incorporated into the important Site of Local Nature Conservation Importance (SLNCI) network. In addition, the report looks beyond Belfast and recommends that a Northern Ireland wide inventory of the habitat should be urgently created. Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates our aim is to halt the extinction of invertebrate species and to achieve sustainable populations of invertebrates. Invertebrates are vitally important to a healthy planet - humans and other life forms could not survive without them. The food we eat, the fish we catch, the birds we see, the flowers we smell and the hum of life we hear, simply would not exist without bugs. Invertebrates underpin life on earth and wit...

Image Fen Raft Spider (Dolomedes plantarius) (c) Liam Olds Wales has become the first country in the world with a map of its most important areas for insects and other invertebrates - a vital source of information to help guide nature recovery in Wales. Buglife - The Invertebrate Conservation Trust is launching the 'Important Invertebrate Areas: Putting Bugs on the Map in Wales' report at the Senedd today. The network of 17 Important Invertebrate Areas (IIAs) has been identified by the charity working closely with experts and using millions of records collected by naturalists. Welsh Bugs Mapped Wales is home to iconic and threatened species found nowhere else in Britain, such as the Cliff Mason Bee (Osmia xanthomelana) now only known from two short stretches of Welsh cliff top, and the Critically Endangered Scarce Yellow Sally Stonefly (Isogenus nebecula) which is only found in the River Dee and was once feared once being feared extinct. The IIAs, which are home to nationally or internationally significant invertebrate populations and their habitats, took nearly five years to map. They cover 1,344km2 of Wales. Although this is just 6.5% of the country, they are home to over 10,800 species of invertebrate, including 7 of Britain's endemic species - those found nowhere else in the world. The IIAs are also home to threatened species, including the stunning Blue Ground Beetle (Carabus intricatus), Britain's rarest snail - the Glutinous Snail (Myxas glutinosa), and the Fen Raft Spider (Dolomedes plantarius)- our largest spider. Buglife Cymru Manager, Clare Dinham, said, "Wales' Important Invertebrate Areas, from the Ll?n Peninsula to the South Wales Coast, are home to some of our most special species. But many are under threat. We hope that the new IIA map will help people to learn about and celebrate their local wildlife. And also understand what they can do to help nature recover." Jamie Robins, Programmes Manager, said, "To secure a better future for our invertebrate populations and help nature to thrive, it is essential to know where our most threatened species live. We've started the job by mapping IIAs for Wales, but this is only the beginning. We need decision makers to recognise the important role that invertebrates play and use our IIAs to prioritise much needed conservation action." The full map of IIAs can be explored on the Buglife website, with freely accessible profile documents for each of the 17 IIAs that explain why they are important, the threats they face and what needs to be done to enable their special inhabitants to thrive.

What can failure, learning and success look like when designing a new programme? Do we, as development organisations recognise the domino effects that our well meaning interventions can have on rural communities and the environment? And when recognising these, how can we turn them into opportunities? This is a case study of that.In this episode host Kirsty Adams, together with Fred Mwale (Programmes Manager, SolarAid Zambia) and Courtney Paisley (consultant with SolarAid) explore the topic of electronic waste, repair and how the small electronics that make up solar lights can be turned into opportunities for circular economy and give second life to life changing solar lights.Electronic waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world. Recognising that they had distributed over 2 million solar lights across rural areas in sub-Saharan Africa, SolarAid started asking themselves what happens to their solar lights once they stop working. This eventually led them to launch their solar light repair pilot in Zambia, which has seen carrying out research in rural areas, launching a repair app, and training and upskilling local Repair Technicians across the country. It has given second life to solar lights across rural areas, while also limiting electronic waste. But the journey there was not straightforward - this episode, is the tale of that.Guests' BiosFred Mwale has been SolarAid Zambia's Programmes Manager since 2020. He has more than 7 years of experience in rural development, specializing in renewable energy and agriculture. Fred has used that experience to help in the provision of alternative livelihoods, access to energy, and food systems, and to cushion the impact of climate change through various innovative models. His experience in the private sector has seen him work with donors from GIZ (German government), FCDO (UK government), and USAID. Fred has a Bachelor of Education in Environmental Education from the University of Zambia.Courtney Paisley has nearly two decades of experience in the development field, honing her expertise across a range of sectors from agriculture, natural resource management, renewable energy access, the circular economy, youth employment and conservation. During her extensive career, Courtney spent 8 years in a global role as the director of a youth network in agriculture and rural development at the UN Food and Agriculture. Nevertheless, the majority of her career has been focused on the African continent, in Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia, where she currently works with the Frankfurt Zoological Society.Courtney thrives in environments that prioritise holistic and multi-disciplinary solutions to addressing environmental challenges and sustainable rural development - a field she has dedicated her career to. She upholds sustainability principles, both professionally and personally, demonstrating her commitment to making a lasting positive impact on the world.________________________Find out more about SolarAid here.Learn how you can support SolarAid here.________________________Find out more about SolarAid here.Learn how you can support SolarAid here.LinkedInTwitter

Rachel Hurdley climbs up into the attic to discover the hidden meanings behind this shadowy and mysterious part of the home. The attic can be a strange part of the house – somewhere which is rarely visited and often forgotten. But it can also be a place to preserve precious memories, a refuge, or even somewhere a bit sinister. Rachel reveals the many uses to which attics have been put over the centuries and what this tells us about our history and changes in society. Attics are a relatively recent development and Rachel starts at the 16th-century King's House within the walls of the Tower of London. The building has some of the earliest attics in the country and she finds out about the social changes which led to this innovation in domestic architecture. But it wasn't long before people realised that, as well as being handy for storage, attics could be the perfect hiding place. At Harvington Hall, Rachel uncovers the role that the Hall's attics played in the religious turmoil of Elizabethan England. As well as being used for storage or living, attics have often provided working space. Rachel travels to Newtown in mid-Wales to see the attics of an unusual early factory and hears about the arduous working lives of the weavers who toiled there. The 19th century saw something of a heyday for the attic. The Victorians were all too aware of social class and this meant that servants (and sometimes children) could be banished to attic bedrooms and nurseries. But this was also the height of the Industrial Revolution, with factories mass producing all manner of goods. People suddenly had far more ‘stuff' – and of course they needed somewhere to put it all. At Scotney Castle in Kent, Rachel explores the attics of a grand country house whose owners spent more than a hundred years cramming them with thousands of objects. And what of the attic today? In an age of smaller houses, loft conversions and flats, how do we cope without an attic? Rachel enters the world of self-storage where you can store as much as you like for as long as you like. As she picks through the attic's contents, Rachel also considers how writers have used attics as a sometimes sinister setting for their characters, and the psychology of what we choose to keep in our attics.

The nationwide campaign, ‘What's in our Food?', which will be flighted on television, radio and digital media, urges people to question what hidden ingredients can be found in pre-packaged foods. Refilwe Moloto speaks to Nzama Mbalati, Programmes Manager at Healthy Living Alliance, about Healthy Living Alliance's campaign calling for clearer food warning labels to empower South Africans to make healthy food choices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

South Africans are being encouraged to carefully consider the contents of the food they are eating and giving to their children, particularly processed, packaged foods. Unhealthy packaged food may be high in sugar, salt, and saturated fat - all of which have been directly linked to life-threatening conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. This is why the advocacy group, Healthy Living Alliance, has started a campaign calling for clearer food warning labels to empower South Africans to make healthy food choices.

In the first mini-series of Good with data we explore one of the most important issues in global development today, the Leave No One Behind Agenda; what it means, why it matters, and how we can make it a reality by improving data and making best use of existing data and evidence. In this episode we discuss national data ecosystems, and why they are key to fostering a strong culture of data use to improve development policies and programmes that leave no one behind. Our guests are: Elizabeth Birabwa Aliro, Programmes Manager at the Economic Policy Research Centre in Kampala, currently focused on strengthening Evidence Informed Decision Making in policy processes in Uganda; Papa Seck, Chief of Research and Data at UN Women, where he leads the organisation's research and statistical work, including the Women Count global gender data programme.For more on this subject, read our recent discussion paper on the role of national data systems and data to leave no one behind. An accompanying discussion paper looks specifically at the role of donor investment in strengthening national data ecosystems, and how they can better act on their data commitments. During the episode, we asked our panellists to share their recommendations for listeners to explore issues relating to national data ecosystems further:Elizabeth recommended two recent reports from the Economic Policy Research Centre: one on evidence diagnostic exercises in Uganda and Pakistan undertaken as part of the Strengthening Evidence Use for Development Impact programme; and another on the political economy of policymaking and the evidence ecosystem in the Humanitarian, Gender, and Family Planning sectors in Uganda. Papa recommended visiting data.women.org to view UN Women's relevant resources, and encouraged all of us to consider how decisions based on data affect our lives, and to get involved to make sure that the data being used to make those decisions is good. Good with data is a production of Development Initiatives, a global organisation harnessing the power of data and evidence to end poverty, reduce inequality and increase resilience. To stay up to date with our work, follow us on Twitter or Linkedin, visit our website, and register for email updates.We value your feedback!

This podcast is a real eye opener and is (in itself) full of great ideas to help us all out no matter what field we are in.Suzanne Facts:Suzanne has worked in several very different roles that together have paved the way for being the co-director of HBCA. After graduation she worked in science publishing – initially as a science journalist and later managing several journals. In her spare time she re-qualified in animal behaviour and welfare and gained extensive practical experience with several organisations. She founded Learning About Animals through which she organised educational events and undertook consultancy projects. She is also active as an IAABC-certified horse behaviour consultant.Through extensive travel to developing countries Suzanne gained interest in transport animals and in 2005 joined the Board of the World Association for Transport Animal Welfare and Studies (TAWS). She is co-founder and Programmes Director of Change For Animals Foundation (CFAF), co-founder and Trustee of the Aquarium Welfare Association and Trustee of the World Cetacean Alliance (WCA).In 2007, she became the Programmes Manager of the Companion Animal Unit at WSPA (now World Animal Protection). She managed several dog population and working equine programmes. The role was to develop and test participatory methodologies – working with communities to change the way they manage and care for their animals. Suzanne led the move away from a heavy focus on mobile clinics towards prevention through participatory approaches. To reflect the broad applicability of the approach she became the Technical Advisor for Human Behaviour Change Programmes. Since 2011, Suzanne has worked as an international consultant for animal welfare and human behaviour change.

The Rwanda asylum plan refers the UK's government's controversial proposed policy to deport people identified as illegal immigrants, or seeking asylum, to Rwanda for resettlement. A judicial review of the policy is now set to take place in September, but the UK government continues to defend it and has not ruled out deportation flights over the summer. The case itself has been hugely divisive in the UK, Rwanda, and internationally. What started as a legal argument has caused a ripple effect into areas of religious morality and political ideology, while raising practical questions about whether this plan is lawful and workable, and why Rwanda is the destination of choice. And with a Conservative Party leadership contest now under way following the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the plan is featuring highly on the list of issues for leadership candidates. So what next? We dive into these issues with experts from the legal profession, humanitarian policy and refugee action. Speakers: Sara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI Sorcha O'Callaghan, Director of ODI's Humanitarian Policy Group Becca Hird, Associate at Mishcon Private specialising in immigration Isabel Alonso García, Programmes Manager, Calais, Collective Aid

On this episode of Building Bridges, we dwelt on the high cost of maintaining our public officials and means of holding them accountable. We had a thought provoking telephone conversation with Mr. Olaleye Olaniyi, a senior research analyst with Budgit Nigeria, Mr. Santos Ayuba Larab, Erudite reasearcher, historian and public affairs commentator as well as Mr. Kabiru Sabo, Programmes Manager of TEKAN Peace Desk and a public affairs commentator. There was a shocking revelation on how Nigeria moved from a 2billion Naira budget for NASS in 1999 to 128billion in the 202/21 appropriation budget without a commensurate increase in the minimum wage. This comes a suffocating impact on other developmental ventures with direct bearing on the lives of citizens and the economic viability of the nation. Listen to this episode for more insightful and thought-provoking aspects of the conversation. Join us on our social media pages for more striking conversations on developmental issues. #BuildingBridges

In this episode, Sion Jones, Strategic Policy and Programmes Manager leading HelpAge International’s advocacy and research work on ageing in urban contexts, tells us how people aged over 60 – far from just being ‘left behind in the villages’ - are the fastest-growing cohort of urban populations, why the experiential dimensions of navigating city spaces are as important as physical accessibility, and how to influence inclusive change with and for older people in city neighbourhoods and at the UN. For the Centre’s 2020 Report on ‘Civil Society Innovation and Urban Inclusion’, we’re speaking with inspirational innovators from civil society organisations (CSOs) around the world to hear the stories of their advocacy and programming work to make cities more inclusive.
