LGBT+ rights are at the heart of UNISON ’ s work
It’s international day against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia (IDAHOBIT) – a day to commemorate the removal of homosexuality from the World Health Organisation’s list of mental disorders, and is a call to action as LGBT+ people are faced with new and increasing attacks. As a proud ally to the LGBT+ community, I’m concerned about the rise of LGBT+ hate crime and hate speech. The lack of progress in protecting LGBT+ people against abhorrent practices like conversion therapy is deeply troubling. The UK’s reputation on LGBT+ equality has taken a dive since the Tories took power in 2010. Each year, ILGA Euro...

More than ever, the relationship between our two worlds has been disrupted, says the historian. If we don ’t mend our ways, will we face even deadlier threats than Covid, Sars and Mpox?In March 2021, the 13th month of the Covid confinement, thepeepers, in their vast multitudes, sang out again. Down in the swampy wetlands below our house in Hudson Valley, New York, millions ofPseudacris crucifer ( “cross-bearing false locusts” but actually minute frogs) puffed up their air sacs and warbled for a mate.

Meeting the 22 April deadline last month, the agencies released their findings in a report , noting that of the nearly 72 million hectares of forest they ma...
