@olivia It makes me especially sick that it happens in times, when we should discuss the legal #personhood of #nature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_personhood and listen much more to ideas and thoughts of indigenous people about nature (including pebbles and rocks).
This is becoming increasingly important for survival. Instead, we grant empty algorithms more #life than living #ecosystems!

Climate Change Brings Another Species Closer to Extinction | The-14

Extreme heatwaves in Australia killed thousands of grey-headed flying foxes, pushing the vulnerable species closer to extinction.

NEED TO KNOW:

40% of #bees and #pollinator species endangered worldwide

25% of bee species no longer showing up on field records across the #planet

76% decrease by mass in flying #insects in Germany ON NATURE RESERVES over a 26 year period

Bee populations decreasing by 5% each year

All caused by humans.
Primarily due to what we choose to eat and how we choose to produce it.

Thought I'd post my last 3 years of Big Garden Birdwatch. I live in a street of houses all built in the early 1900s, the neighbouring streets are the same or older. We have narrow back gardens and almost no front garden & no street trees. Yet my results look like something serious has changed. Pre-2025 my results were pretty consistantly along the lines of the 2024 ones. #climatecrisis #biodiversityloss
Anwar & Xin discuss #biodiversityloss, highlighting the catastrophic consequences of mistakes and the complexity of the issue, with Haibo agreeing and adding a point about the overwhelming nature of the problem. 😥🌍🤔 https://scrollbots.com
We are currently experiencing a triple planetary crisis: #ClimateChange, #BiodiversityLoss and #EnvironmentalPollution are deeply interconnected and threaten human life. A new series of reports identifies common causes and challenges to find mutually reinforcing solutions.
#biodiversityloss 🤔 Did they realize the disappearing species aren't just gone, but fundamentally altering the very fabric of life itself?
