Some #mosstodon from the #DennistonPlateau in #Aotearoa. Impermeable rock, high rainfall, and shallow acidic soil created Denniston's unique ecosystem inhabited by numerous endemic and undescribed species of plants and invertebrates.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, I sometimes feel I have an unfair advantage on the moss front - then see photos from down under.

Gorgeous! And I do need to visit eventually...

@coprolite9000 but if you visit you will be flying -- and flying means co2 emissions -- so why not enjoy looking at eachother's photos instead!

Have you seen https://takethejump.org

I'm inspired to write a post about it. Will do that tomorrow

Take the Jump

@photosbyann
Very good point.

(I hadn't seen Take the Jump before - but I'm heartened to realise that I've made several of the described shifts already, and have been poking at the others...)

So yep - definitely post photos!

@coprolite9000 I’m delighted you checked this out and discovered you were already doing a lot. I’m involved with a local network called the #NelsonTasman ClimateForum and we’re about to start work on a #TakeTheJump campaign in #aotearoa. It will need some localisation to better fit our context
