Nerds! Can you believe we've been sharing nature news for 6 months! Because we certainly can't. Week 22 will be our mid year final whilst Nadia & Ryan take summer off to recoup & prepare for exciting new things to come in September.....(seriously, some VERY, exciting new things to come).

But on this mid year final, Ryan & Nadia both share some beautiful butterfly stories plus Nadia gives some insight to how much on an environmental impact the Gaza conflict has had & we both question, "why isn't this being called out by wildlife NGOs?".

Week 21 of Nature News is a race against time as Ryan sits in his London flat, in 32C, no air con or fan & old tepid water to survive.

But back to reality, Nadia shares a story of how an activist who works to uncover the horrible story of salmon farming is suddenly a victim of intense surveillance by a private spy company, yeah, you read that right. And Ryan tells of a new study that uncovers the dark world of tarantulas & the illegal pet trade.

On this week's Nature News, Ryan & Nadia revisit 2 stories from the last 6 months to give an update on their progress OR their complete u-turn. Nadia then gives us all a nature rundown of the Labour governments budget & what this could or couldn't mean for biodiversity in the UK.
