Today I was reading a title story about an owl. About an Ukrainian owl. And my first thought was: Oh my, another one of these “cute animal stuff” reports. But it was much more, it was a story about humans who choose being humane. https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/de2f7ea3-34c2-4f83-9889-f624f5a04d60

Extreme weather events are accelerating tidal wetland loss, satellite data show
Tidal #wetlands are critical, yet vulnerable #ecosystems. Tidal marshes, mangrove forests, and tidal flats support #biodiversity, protect against #flooding and storm surges, sequester #carbon, and improve #water quality. Due to human development and #ClimateChange, tidal wetland areas have been shrinking globally. A new study using 40 years of satellite data shows that this loss has been accelerating in the U.S. and that this acceleration is being increasingly driven by #ExtremeWeather events.

Clean energy's nickel rush is heading straight for some of Earth's richest ecosystems https://phys.org/news/2026-05-energy-nickel-straight-earth-richest.html
Meeting future nickel demand for stainless steel and clean energy technologies will require tough decisions with potential environmental trade-offs, a new study has found. Dr. Jayden Hyman from The University of Queensland's School of the Environment led an international analysis of known nickel deposits, current mining and demand forecasts.
Australia’s environmental degradation
"One must ask why the federal government is so comfortable continuing to ignore the wishes of most Australians, and continuing to condemn our life-sustaining environment and wildlife to profound decline and destruction?"
"Experts in biodiversity and environmental law have found major flaws in the draft national standard for matters of national environmental significance.’..Market-driven nature repair projects will not help address this deficit."
"It would be a betrayal of Australia’s most important public good to settle for the mere appearance of action – we deserve the promised serious investment in our collective future." >>

Is It Ethical to Go on a Safari in India? A Responsible Traveler’s Guide to Wildlife Tourism in 2026
India is one of the world’s most iconic wildlife destinations, home to Bengal tigers, Asian elephants, leopards, rhinos, and over 1,300 bird species.

Yes, if done responsibly.This guide breaks down the ethics of India safari tours, what to look for, what to avoid, and how to ensure your trip supports […]
Rivers around the world are quietly running out of oxygen, and climate change is emerging as the main culprit. A global analysis of more than 21,000 river systems found that nearly 80% have been steadily losing dissolved oxygen over the past four decades, threatening fish, #biodiversity and the overall health of freshwater ecosystems. Tropical rivers are being hit the hardest, even more than rivers in rapidly warming polar regions.

Rivers around the world are quietly running out of oxygen — and climate change is emerging as the main culprit. A sweeping global analysis of more than 21,000 river systems found that nearly 80% have been steadily losing dissolved oxygen over the past four decades, threatening fish, biodiversity, and the overall health of freshwater ecosystems. Surprisingly, tropical rivers are being hit the hardest, even more than rivers in rapidly warming polar regions.
Rewild and give nature a chance T-shirt
A T-shirt from our Scientist and Philosopher range. Nature is under attack as the human population shows little sign of stabilising. During the last two centuries or so since the start of what humanity calls progress of the industrial revolution we have grown from 1 billion in 1800 humans to 7.79 billion in 2022. We have hacked away at forests and ecosystems with no thought to sustainability or the future of ourselves or other species and ecosystems. Controversially, this time is called the Anthropocene, the sixth great extinction in this planet’s long history. We need to learn to live within the bounds of the finite planet and that means moving humans out of places and turning them back into wilderness. Why? Because we are too many and we have taken too much. (S&P)
Check out how these products are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. You can even send these items back to be made into new things when you have finished with them.
