Apparently it's world biodiversity day. I used to have a hard time understanding why biodiversity was important, but I learned a lot from this bill Nye episode (I especially liked the Jenga demonstration): https://youtu.be/tx40NhM8hqM?si=YIXR5nTwKAZnSOwU

Clapper Rail at the Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside, NY, 5/10. Sometimes called a "marsh hen," this salt-marsh dweller glides effortlessly through dense vegetation, helped by its laterally compressed body profile. As with other salt-marsh species, this species is threatened by encroaching development, climate change and pollution.

Over 40% of insect species have declined in just a decade. They’re disappearing eight times faster than mammals, birds or reptiles.

If the insects go, so do the ecosystems that feed us, clean our air, and keep us alive.

🌍 Biodiversity is our life-support system — we can’t afford to let it collapse.

#WorldBiodiversityDay

Heute ist Internationaler Tag der biologischen Vielfalt.

2010 hat Marzahn-Hellersdorf die Deklaration „Biologische Vielfalt in Kommunen“ unterzeichnet.

Fast 15 Jahre später zeigen sich Fortschritte – doch diese bleiben oft punktuell und genügen nicht den Herausforderungen → https://stefan-ziller.eu/2025/15-jahre-biologische-vielfalt-in-kommunen-marzahn-hellersdorf-zwischen-fortschritt-und-nachholbedarf/

Happy #WorldBiodiversityDay Justin Trudeau!
#COP16 is less than 5 months away and there's still no strategy to halt & reverse nature loss.

Enough talk! We need a strong #NatureLaw that respects Indigenous rights & protects biodiversity NOW!
