I didn't know they had "grief walks" in #Seattle until I saw these little posters last week. The need is bound to be enormous. So many of us carry several kinds of #grief, for human and nonhuman people who died, for species that went #extinct, for #democracy falling apart, for a #world careening out of kilter... Would you go to such an event? Have you already been and has it helped you? Have you found a good practice of living with your grief? #SilentSunday

How a #gecko species defied #extinction on a #Galápagos island https://news.mongabay.com/2025/08/how-a-gecko-species-defied-extinction-on-a-galapagos-island/

"Mares’s leaf-toed #gecko has been rediscovered on Rábida Island after being thought #extinct for more than a century, with only ancient bones as previous evidence of its existence. Invasive brown rats introduced by ships in the 17th and 18th centuries caused the gecko's decline... A 2011 rat eradication program successfully removed all invasive #rodents, and #geckos were spotted just one year later"

"On a remote island, a duck arrived hundreds of thousands of years ago and quickly evolved into a sturdier, more terrestrial bird with shortened wings and elongated legs"
