📢Las #lagunas_costeras son ecosistemas cruciales para la conservación de la biodiversidad 🐟🏞️🌎y el sustento de comunidades enteras👨👩👦👦, que están amenazados con la contaminación por plásticos🚮 | @RedDivulga | @CrueUniversidad | @UniBarcelona | @UBDivulga | Abro #hilotesis 📚|
🏞️Las #lagunas_costeras son muy vulnerables a la contaminación debido a la baja tasa de recambio de sus aguas⏳🔄🌊. Los microplásticos son uno de los contaminantes que afectan estos ecosistemas y que requieren investigación👨🔬👩🔬🔬. #basurasmarinas #wetlands #microplastics 
📚Muchos de los estudios previos sobre microplásticos en #lagunas_costeras han examinado su presencia en aguas🌊, sedimentos y organismos🐟por separado. Una visión integrada ayudaría a entender mejor su dinámica, los riesgos de su acumulación y la afectación sobre el ecosistema🧐

Why did #methane surge in 2020 ?
Our article just published @Nature shows that the high growth rate of CH4 in 2020 is explained half by decreased OH removal & half by more wetland emissions @ShushiPeng @CEA_Officiel @gcarbonproject @IPSL_outreach … 🧶

We expected in 2020 less anthropogenic emissions from #COVID but in fact the #CH4 growth rate was record high at 15.1 ppt y-1 (@NOAA data )
The #CH4 growth rate results from an imbalance between emissions ( natural and anthropogenic ) and the OH sink in the atmosphere @gcarbonproject
Mongabay-India's commentaries present nuanced arguments on wildlife conservation and environmental issues, including energy, to encourage an informed debate among key stakeholders. Read this #thread for some insightful commentaries.
While the Tiger Range Countries (TRCs) have put in efforts to revive and stabilize the big cat's population, an urgent need for finance to ensure the protection of priority tiger protected areas (PAs) in TRCs is necessary, say @Dr_RajeshGopal & @wilder_mk.

The conservation of the Bactrian camel that survives in challenging environments should be a global concern, and an important national priority, explains @IlseKohler in this commentary. [Published in 2021]

2/When it does rain in the #Sahel, it often pours, leading to destructive flash floods, riverbank damage & #soilerosion. #Siltation is a major problem in the Sahel too, making rivers dry up quicker in the dry season, and flood faster in the rainy season too

Below is a long-ish thread🧵for some context to this amazing meme from @DrArialShogren and @thats_me_del_p.
TL;DR -- Our words matter. They shape and bias our understanding of the systems we study.

This conversation started with me giving @thats_me_del_p a hard time about a small grant proposal. The title mentioned "drivers of intermittence."

I'm not a big fan of umbrella terms like #sustainability, #connectivity, and now #intermittence.
In #interdisciplinary teams, negotiating a common language is difficult. I actually think its often MORE difficult when we share common terms with slightly diverging definitions

President @JoeBiden is visiting NY and NJ today to talk about #infrastructure in the wake of flooding. Talk that includes more $ for sea walls, levees, stormwater drains. But to solve flooding, we have to consider how #water behaves.
It can come from the sky, from the sea, and even from up from underground due to hydrological pressure. #ClimateCrisis is showing us a quantity of water our #infrastructure is not built to handle. B/c our concrete water infrastructure is inflexible.
Will @JoeBiden talk about natural #infrastructure? #wetlands, floodplains, and marshes are absorbent and flexible -- and also STORE CARBON to reduce climate change. Yet cities including NYC are building new development on filled-in wetlands.

[1] Reports indicate that the #Venezuelan Floating Storage/Production Vessel, FSO #nabarima, currently located in the #gulfofparia, has approximately 1.2 million barrels of crude oil onboard & the vessel is in distress.
Why is this of concern to #TrinidadandTobago?

[2] The #gulfofparia is a semi-enclosed body of water located between #Trinidad and #Venezuela. The #marine #environment is a very dynamic system. Any oil that is spilled in the #gulfofparia will likely be transported by the currents and reach the shores of both countries.
[3] Presently, the #gulfofparia supports important #fisheries 🐟🦐 Many #fisherfolk in #Trinidad harvest #fish and #shellfish from the #gulfofparia🛥️ The livelihood of these #fisherfolk are dependent on a healthy marine environment.
China has always prioritized ecological progress and has rolled out strong policies and actions. For the last 10 years, China has topped the world in forest resource increase, with more than 70 million hectares of land afforested.
We have made long-term, large-scale efforts to combat sandification and desertification, and we have effectively protected and restored the #wetlands. We now have one of the world's largest banks of genetic resources reserve.
90% of terrestrial #ecosystem types and 85% of key wild animal populations are under effective protection.

One of the attractions of the San Joaquin Marsh is an island in the middle of one of the ponds that is covered with White Pelicans and Double Crested Cormorants. I have a confession about the cormorants: I have...
...never been close enough or had a powerful enough lens to see the tiny wisps of hair that constitute the "crests" on these birds. There are those who doubt that they exist. As far as I know there are only a handful of photos showing the crests...
...and even they are not impressive. The best practice is to assume that any cormorant that you see in the San Joaquin Marsh is a Double Crested and check it of your life list as one. I get many questions about the cormorants...
Greeting everyone & happy Friday. Please welcome @LeninChisaira, an environmental and wildife justice lawyer. He is the founder & director of @Advocates4Earth. Lenin will be sharing insights on laws & issues relating to #wildlife & environment in #Zimbabwe. Feel free to ask
Lenin holds an LLB Hons (UZ) and Master of Laws from @UCC, Ireland and University of London. His research mainly focused on climate and environmental justice as well as the interaction of these rights with human rights. #ClimateCrisis ucc.ie/en/law/researc…
