refuge. but thejuvenile to cool the water to find refuge. but the juvenile fish and invertebrates, they cannot because they just cannot travel that far or they choose not to because they are very vulnerable if they leave their protected habitat. and so we are concerned that we will see mortality and some of those organisms. we also hear of algal bloom and there is a significant number of effects that are already being seen and, again, it is so early with this temperature. we are only injuly. typically we do not see this temperatures until august or september so we have a concerning summer ahead of us. it feels like an impossible question to ask because you cannot just call the water question to ask because you cannotjust call the water down yourself but what can be done? there is a tremendous amount of work being done and frankly it is inspiring. i think we can all appreciate that this is an

of different species — bats, birds, small mammals, invertebrates. you end up with a more complex, three—dimensional habitat, which can support a range of species. including this little beauty. she came as a complete surprise. the rangers didn't realise, but one of the bison was pregnant when they were moved here lastjuly. the calf was born in october. the bison are safe behind two fences. but in time, the kent wildlife trust, which runs this project, would like to allow walking safaris within the compound. but bison can weigh up to a tonne. would that be safe? they look intimidating because we're not used to seeing big wild animals in the uk, but in reality they are, they're very placid and theyjust mind their own business. they just want to go about doing their bison business and, you know, eating, grazing, resting up. and really, it's kind of reconnecting people with wild spaces and these wild animals, and proving that we can coexist.

to breed in captivity, we were able to collect the juveniles, but getting them to survive past six months has been really tricky. and that's partly because under water, the baby mussels have a strange, secret life. the babies look like a tiny version of the 19805 computer game character pacman. remember him — a circle with a big mouth? they use that to hitch a ride mouth on the gills of passing fish. if they can survive all that, they can live to be 140 years old. the thing about freshwater mussels is that they're probably one of the best bio indicators i know. so if you've got baby mussels in your river, you know, juvenile mussels in the river, it probably means that there's not much wrong with that river at all. also, they are a functioning part of the ecosystem, they create a habitat on the river bed, they will be good habitat for fish species and invertebrates. so that's why conservationists are also creating places for the mussels to live. one reason the numbers declined is because rivers were dredged, changing their habitat, so gravel and boulders are being put
