Joe Wynne 🌻🚗⛰️🌞 Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant explains why — in a time of dire headlines — young conservationists and her own daughters make her hopeful about the planet’s future.
💡 After working with teens who were actually carrying out scientific measurements for wildlife conservation, her hope comes from the knowledge that scientific solutions exist and that the next generation is stepping up to carry them forward.
💬 “It was amazing to see so much fortitude and knowledge and leadership from them.”
FOR THE BIRDS
🐦⬛ Non-native trees are commonly used in urban settings, but a new study out of Sweden finds that native trees provide more resources and are preferred by urban birds.

🐛 Another study out of the University of Glasgow shows that common woodland birds produce more chicks when surrounded by a greater abundance of native tree foliage.

👉 Support the planting of native trees in all environments.

Urban birds prefer native trees, shows long-term study
Small passerine birds, such as blue and great tits, avoid breeding in urban areas where there are many non-native trees. Chicks also weigh less the more non-native trees there are in the vicinity of the nest. This is shown in a long-term study from Lund University in Sweden.

Is there such a thing as a ‘problem shark’? Plan to catch repeat biters divides scientists
Some experts think a few sharks may be responsible for a disproportionate number of attacks. Should they be hunted down? First was the French tourist, killed while swimming off Saint-Martin in December 2020. The manager of a nearby water sports club raced out in a dinghy to help, only to find her lifeless body floating face down, a gaping wound where part of her right thigh should have been. Then, a month later, another victim. Several Caribbean islands away, a woman snorkelling off St Kitts and Nevis was badly bitten on her left leg by a shark. Fortunately, she survived. Soon after the fatal incident in December, Eric Clua, a marine biologist at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris, got a phone call. Island nations often ask for his help after a shark bite, he says, “because I am actually presenting a new vision … I say, ‘You don’t have a problem with sharks, you have a problem with one shark.’” Continue reading...
