A Scottish clan chief plans to rewild his ancestral estate as part of an ambitious project to transform the 'beautiful but not natural' Isle of Skye. Hugh MacLeod, the 30th Chief of Clan MacLeod, hopes to overhaul the 'lunarscape' surrounding Dunvegan Castle by planting a total of 371,875 native trees in its land. It is hoped these broadleaf forests will provide a home for reintroduced beaver populations and the declining numbers of red squirrels and wildcats which inhabit parts of Scotland. The ambitious project, which has been in development on the 42,000-acre MacLeod Estate for years, has been awarded a £1million grant from the Scottish Government and the EU. The native forest will contain different species mixtures to suit the land's terrain and ecology. The carbon offset is estimated to exceed 40,000 tons over a 65 year period. The focus will be on planting trees which historically grew in the Isle of Skye's peat soil - such as birch, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour yên tử] rowan and cherry trees, the [ ] reported.

By Matt Donnelly LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Elliot Page, the Oscar-nominated star of "Juno" and Netflix's "The Umbrella Academy," has announced he is transgender. Elliot, formerly known as Ellen Page, addressed his numerous social media followers saying: "Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot. I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life. I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can't begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self. I've been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place. I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society," he wrote. "I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer. And the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive. To all the trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse, and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I love you, and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better," Page continued. Page uses both he/him and they/them pronouns, and describes himself as transgender and non-binary, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour chùa yên tử] meaning that their gender identity is neither man nor woman. Nick Adams, GLAAD's Director of Transgender Media, said "Elliot Page has given us fantastic characters on-screen, and has been an outspoken advocate for all LGBTQ people. He will now be an inspiration to countless trans and non-binary people. All transgender people deserve the chance to be ourselves and to be accepted for who we are. We celebrate the remarkable Elliot Page today." Page broke out from his native Canada in 2005 with the revenge thriller "Hard Candy." Two years later, he starred in Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody's landmark indie "Juno," for which Page received an Academy Award nomination among other accolades. His notable roles include Kitty Pryde in the "X-Men" series, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour chùa yên tử] Christopher Nolan's "Inception," "Whip It!" and Sony's reboot of "Flatliners." He has produced and starred in films such as "Tallulah" and "Freeheld," and last year marked his directorial debut examining environmental racism faced by people of color and the First Nations communities of Canada. Prior to transition, Page was one of the most visible out gay actors in Hollywood. The Tuesday announcement further enriches his legacy, and adds him to a small but growing number of out trans creators and stars in Hollywood. This includes performers (Laverne Cox, Trace Lysette, Brian Michael Smith) and creators (The Wachowski Sisters, "Transparent" creator Joey Soloway). Last year, Variety broke the news of the groundbreaking overall content production deal that [http://www.examandinterviewtips.com/search?q=Netflix Netflix] signed with Janet Mock, a noted trans storyteller and director of shows like "Pose" and "Hollywood."
