ArborIstManuGuten Morgen zum 4. Advent. Heute früh bei einem #Feuerwehreinsatz gab es Kaffee aus Pappbechern mit einem schönen Aufdruck. Das hilft im Kampf gegen #PlantBlindness . Natürlich kann man auch das wiederum kritisch und als #Greenwahsing des Herstellers framen. Ich denke bei solchen Alltagsdingen hilft es etwas #Werbung FÜR Bäume zu machen.
Marc SomssichAn article on Model Organisms, published in Science in 2005, lists the Models that together represent "the diversity of life".
Guess which model is missing from the list?
This view is one major reason why it's so difficult to obtain funding for basic plant research.

Flora Incognita (DE)Symbolbild #PlantBlindness #Pflanzenblindheit. Viele Menschen würden zu dem Bild sagen, es zeigt einen Rosenkäfer. Dabei ist auch ein Wolliger Schneeball zu sehen.

CarolannieMost people admire birds, animals, insects, but are sort of unaware of plants and their vital role in supporting all life.

eswillwalkerSadly, police probably look at these thefts and think, “Plants. Who cares about plants?” #plantBlindness
UrbanNatureBerlin#Umweltbildung konkret: Zwischen dem 18.-29. Mai gibt es eine bundesweite #Stadtbotanik-Aktionswoche von @FloraIncognita_DE, die das Bewusstsein für Pflanzenvielfalt stärken soll. Die Aktion dient der Bekämpfung von #PlantBlindness. Also: App laden, #Krautschau-Projekt freischalten & #Stadtnatur entdecken!

Julianne (Jules) KielyI've done a bit more work on Bahariya Formation fossil #plants. This is an infographic showing the possible distributions of different plants and their rough sizes and life habits. These are based on both macro and microfossils. #paleobotany #paleoart #paleontology #Spinosaurus #PlantBlindness
This was made as test-run reference guide for paleoartists, so if you have feedback on this style/how well it conveys information/ clarity/usefulness etc, I'd greatly appreciate any comments you may have!

Jennifer Mach (she/they)@artscistudios Gorgeous #dataviz! The colors and details with little examples of each type of animal really (caution: incoming cliche) bring the data to life. Of course would be great to see for #Plants but that was probably not what you were asked to illustrate! #plantblindness
NSW.Biodiversity“Many of the species in the Albanese government’s 2022-2032 #ThreatenedSpecies Action Plan are birds and mammals – species considered much more charismatic than a #plant or #invertebrate. The action plan includes 14% of threatened mammals and 13% of threatened birds – and just 2% of threatened plants.”

Enough with the koala cakes – the government’s annual Threatened Species Bake Off seriously neglects fish, plants and other lesser-loved species
Our research looked at data from the government’s annual baking competition. Upon close analysis, we find a dangerous lack of diversity and biases towards cute, cuddly mammals.
