"Few people have any idea of the true scale of our systems for killing animals, but we have effectively transformed the entirety of the Earth into our gulag and killing floor."

-John Sanbonmatsu, The Omnivore's Deception

Emergency Lawsuit Filed to Stop Trump Admin Meeting That Could INTENTIONALLY Drive a Whale Species to Extinction

“Burgum’s Extinction Committee is immoral, illegal, and unnecessary,” said the head of the Center for Biological Diversity, which warns it could put the final nail in the coffin of the extremely endangered Rice’s whale.

@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!

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
