We need to talk about nature… 🌿
Please, please don’t be one of those people who watch a show like Wild Isles, think how beautiful nature is and how sad it is that we’re losing it at an alarming rate, but then not do anything about it!
TAKE. ACTION.

There are dozens of things individuals and businesses can do to support nature’s recovery and help tackle ecological collapse and biodiversity loss.
And some of those things are really quick and easy to do.

Flaco, the escaped Eurasian eagle-owl, perched on the Naumburg Bandshell last Friday night. Extreme opinions have been expressed about him. On this subject and others, perhaps we should behave more like owls: patiently watch and wait. (1/15)

The question of Flaco’s continuing freedom is moot with the zoo suspending its efforts to capture him again. I was able to observe their efforts to attract him with playback last Thursday night. He was responsive vocally but seemed to fly away from it more than towards it. (2/15)
They tried and it didn’t work. Any continued use of loud, sustained playback could be more harmful to sensitive birds in the park than Flaco would be as a novice hunter. Flaco might one day be a threat to sensitive birds but he isn’t today. (3/15)

This particular day we spent almost 7 hours with this #lion called Bob Marley (notice the dreads under his mane). He would get up every 20 minutes or so and dig the burrow deeper. We had to be ready throughout as the warthog in the burrow could dash out any moment. 2/4
It was coming to the end of the day and we were almost losing hope when it started raining heavy. Bob Marley used this to his advantage as the burrow filled with water and he started splashing the water inside the burrow which confused the #warthogs and made them rush out. 3/4

I recently did a solo trip to the camp and I loved every second of it, the disconnect I had from the rest of the world, exploring the forest and reconnecting with myself just amazing. You can go fishing, hiking, village tours and interacting with the community while at the camp.

Back in the day those, including me, who worked on many different versions of the #greendeal all focused on the win-win scenarios ... #greenjobs #greengrowth #justtransition etc. and tho the context has changed completely this win-win farming remains even in the year 2023
Had we mobilised on a war-footing back then, invested at scale, imposed #carbontaxes, innovated like mad & massively increased financial & technological support 4 developing economies to shun coal & adopt #renewables, the #greendeal may have worked, albeit not without real costs

Slow planning and permitting is stopping us from getting on track for net-zero. My colleagues @ETC_energy have set out what the problems are, and how we can try to address them. A 🧵

1. What's the size of the problem? Both solar and wind need to grow much faster to get on-track for net-zero by 2050. Current projections would lead to a power system that emits 2.2 GtCO2 more each year by 2030!
Need to close that gap!

As an aside, the only country that's crushing VRE deployment? China, obviously - and also Spain (nice one!).
1) When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth,
2) the separate and equal station to which the Laws of #Nature and of Nature's #God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
3) We hold these #truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are #Life, #Liberty and the pursuit of #Happiness.

این مقاله داده های سری زمانی ماهواره ای رو از سال 2001 تا 2019 در کشور ایران بررسی کرده. بعد از تحلیل داده ها متوجه یک گسترش کشاورزی (27000 کیلومتر مربع) و تشدید قابل توجه کشت (48000 کیلومتر مربع) در این سالها شدند.

در این بازه زمانی یک کاهش قابل توجهی در ذخیره کل آب رو مشاهده کردند و متوجه ارتباط مستقیمش با استفاده ناپایدار از آب های زیرزمینی (عمدتاً برای آبیاری کشاورزی) شدند. جالب اینکه این کاهش بسیار زیاد ذخیره آب به کاهش بارندگی، تبخیر...(عکس پایین Meteorological Water) ربطی نداشته.

🧵 of photos and videos of the waterfalls at the Dead Sea after the rains. The flooding creates spectacle, first some flooding of roads on the way
Next some photos of rain near Ein Bokek; these areas don’t get a lot of rain over the year. The area needs water though as the Dead Sea is shrinking
This waterfall is at the Salvadora stream

3/10. If you see an insect with a triangular head, bulging eyes, sitting upright with arms folded like in prayer, it is likely a ‘praying’ mantis.
Here is an example. It is not praying, but eating a bumblebee.

च्यूर संरक्षित प्रजाति का पेड़ है और इसे काटने की अनुमति नहीं है। इसके बावजूद च्यूरा के पेड़ों की संख्या लगातार घट रही है।

Beware the disingenuous narrative from #biodiversity financiers ahead of #COP15. It goes like this:
1. We need to integrate #nature into our economies to protect it (except no one has ever demonstrated that we do, & history of conservation shows that we don’t) 1/6
1. We need to integrate #nature into our economies to protect it (except no one has ever demonstrated that we do, & history of conservation shows that we don’t) 1/6
2. Markets on nature are happening anyway, we just need to ensure good governance (they are not happening anyway, private lobbies are actively promoting them, and their conceptual issues go way beyond governance) 2/6

In fact, off the record most financiers, environmental & policy experts agree that they will most probably be an environmental failure and a political success, just like carbon offsets, i.e. they will buy time to continue maximising growth 3/6

So they are cuttlefish eggs! I believe they maybe from a common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) but I am not really sure. Hopefully a #cephalopod #cuttlefish #teammollusk expert will see this and comment. If all goes well they will hatch and grow out!
One just hatched!! No question they are cuttlefish now!
