#BiodiversityCrisis: As #humans continue to #encroach on #wilderness lands like those near Lake Tahoe, incidents of #wildlife being injured or #killed by #vehicles have increased.

This moss survived 165 million years — and now it's under threat from climate change https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02514-8
Ancient plant survived the formation of the Himalayas, but might now be facing extinction.

Wonderful capture of an Otter in the Dodder by Dennis Facun. Did you know the Otter is 1/11 Key Ecological Receptors re @sdublincoco planned €22M+ #vanityproject? 🦦

I see Dublin City Council has been using its resources wisely in the past few days, and mowing every patch of green they can get to.

It feels like we should be in a superhero film, only :
-the villains own ALL the companies & governments, not just the odd one.

-The police are busy being told to enforce the villain leading status quo.

- the Newspapers are either pretending there are no villains, or that we should suck it up.

-And there is no superhero.

An ‘AstroTurf front’ for developers? Row over plans to build an eco golf course on a Scottish heritage site.

Spoiler! …it’s not an #eco #golfCourse - neither for #ecology nor #economy

Climate grief is real – and I cannot keep watching images of our dying planet

Our leaders’ addiction to economic growth and its consumption of environmental resources has me paralysed with fear and solastalgia

All these 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 will be destroyed by South Dublin County Council and Coillte for 300 car/bus spaces for a €22m (pre Covid cost) overscaled dev at the Hellfire & Massy's Wood. 🐿️🦦🦡🦇🐸🦌

Leute, wollen wir mal sammeln wie wir 'den Karren aus der Schei**' bekommen?

Kleine wie große Maßnahmen zusammenbringen;
individuelle, kollektive und politische Herangehensweisen sammeln;
teure und günstige Ideen teilen.
Von Veggieday, Bürgerenergie, Balkonkraftwerk und Kiezblock bis zur Fensterdichtung und Sparduschkopf.

Was hilft im Kleinen und im Großen?

I find statements like this pretty unbelievable.

"We are willing to do our part” in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss, said Pekka Pesonen, the head of the EU farmers’ lobby Copa & Cogeca. He said the Commission’s proposal is “not realistic, nor is it practical,” and that's leading to “huge frustration for the farm community."

Two days into #NoMowMay, and the council has already sent out its brigade of mowers and strimmers to rid the parks and verges of dandelions and other affronts to 'tidiness' or whatever tf. Good luck to the dwindling pollinators

Wild mammals make up only a few percent of the world’s mammals:

"Livestock make up 62% of the world’s mammal biomass; humans account for 34%; and wild mammals are just 4%.

A diverse range of mammals once roamed the planet. This changed quickly and dramatically with the arrival of humans. Since then, wild land mammal biomass has declined by an estimated 85%.

Humans are now the dominant species."

Really shocked by the gutting of all of the under-storey vegetation at Denburn Woods, Crail. What used to be hooching with birds now very quiet. The only ‘wild’ bit of habitat in Crail gone. Looks awful too. Biodiversity crisis anyone? #Fife #BiodiversityCrisis
