# Biodiversity / Nature ### Connect with others focusing on this topic [Restore Nature Now Telegram chat](https://t.me/+LPVhfqf7GykzMjRk) to join with others working on this theme (not all people from XR). [XR Rewilding Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/2363158170562783/) ### Action Ideas #### Birdsong Birdsong was once everywhere. Now often hard to hear, bring some birdsong to your action by getting lots of people to download the sound files to their phones and all play together at a re-arranged time. **Info and downloads collated for Restore Nature Now** action in London in , but available to use when and where you want. #### Blue Plaques for Nature Based on the iconic English Heritage blue plaques designed to commemorate a noteble person, these plaques designed by the 'Dirty Water' campaign team are to commemorate **nature and wildlife** - current designs are focussed on promotion before and use during Restore Nature Now on 22nd June 2024. ##### See full details of how to [print, modify and produce these plaques here](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/1518#bkmrk-page-title).

This outreach focused action did not disrupt shoppers, but encouraged them to think more sustainably when shopping, and raised awareness of the scale of the problems to biodiversity being caused by widespread pesticide use. --- #### Parliament of Owls [![Owls.PNG](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/scaled-1680-/owls.PNG)](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/owls.PNG) These paper owls look beautiful in a flock and have been made for The Big One (2023) and Restore Nature Now (2024) They are relatively easy to make as the templates and instructions [can be downloaded here](https://birdscanflystore.com/howl-for-the-owl/). This makes a good group art activity as it is accessible to everyone! --- ##### Bird Skeletons [Check out this brief on how to make bird skeletons for actions](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/329#bkmrk-page-title) --- ### Outreach Materials ##### Bilingual Posters- Welsh [![Missing--Red-Squrrel-bi-lingual-jpeg.jpg](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/scaled-1680-/missing-red-squrrel-bi-lingual-jpeg.jpg)](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/missing-red-squrrel-bi-lingual-jpeg.jpg) These bilingual biodiversity posters are available for [red squirrels](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/attachments/17), [pine martens](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/attachments/17), [hedgehogs](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/attachments/16) and [water voles](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/attachments/15).
