Richard Michael Blaberhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/21/england-wildlife-watchdog-has-stopped-designating-special-sites-for-protection. "No new #sites of #special #scientific #interest (SSSIs) have been designated by #NaturalEngland since 2023. SSSIs are nationally or internationally important places for rare #wildlife & #habitats. Without the designation, endangered #species can be at risk of being lost to #development." See: https://wildjustice.org.uk/unprotected-nature-report/; https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/natural-englands-strategy-recovering-nature-for-growth-health-and-security/natural-englands-strategy-recovering-nature-for-growth-health-and-security#foundations-of-success, which does not mention SSSIs.
DoomsdaysCW#Webinar - #Marsh and #Stream Explorers: A Treasure Hunt to Find Healthy Freshwater #Habitats in #Maine
Apr 22 2026
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
"Curious about what critters live in your local streams and freshwater marshes? Come learn about Maine Marsh and Stream Explorers, a collaborative #CommunityScience project between #MaineAudubon and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (#MEDEP). This program trains volunteers to survey for #macroinvertebrates, or large #AquaticInsects, in streams and freshwater #marshes statewide. With many macroinvertebrates sensitive to temperature, #pollutants, and other environmental stressors, their presence or absence serve as an important indicator of overall wetland health. This data then becomes an invaluable screening tool for #MaineDEP to prioritize where more-indepth water quality assessments should be conducted.
"In this webinar you’ll learn about what the Marsh and Stream Explorers project has accomplished and its impact on water quality monitoring statewide. We’ll look at our overall results, share our successes, and talk about future goals of the project. If you’re interested in getting outdoors, learning something new, and protecting your local watershed, this community science project is for you! Come learn more about how you can get involved. In-person field training for survey techniques to follow."

NonilexThe justices unanimously agreed to allow the #oil companies to fight the lawsuits in #federal court rather than #state court.
“Congress has long authorized federal officers & their agents to remove suits brought against them in state court to federal court,” Justice #ClarenceThomas wrote.

These #ducks travel over 14,000 km (9,000 mi) annually and dive deep into freezing #Arctic waters for food. Protecting their Alaskan breeding grounds remains urgent as habitats face changes from development.

"AI is an energy-intensive & thirsty industry. It leads to huge #greenhouse #gas #emissions, #pollution & loss of #nature... The manufacture of components relies on the extraction of #rareearth elements. This can contaminate #soil & #water, pollute the #air & lead to loss of nature & #forest #habitats. Training AI models is incredibly #energy- & #water- intensive."
