An orang utan was the first to be filmed crossing this wildlife bridge in Sumatra, which is essential for their survival

(Yes it would have been better to not have had those developments at all. Related: environmental activists in that area have pretty bleak mortality rates.)

‘Cries of delight’ as Sumatran orangutan filmed using canopy bridge to cross road for first time

After a two-year wait, video of a young male crossing above a road gives hope that critically endangered species can survive habitat fragmentation

Happy Earth Day!

"Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives."

Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot

The always-welcome reminder that when we give up our attention, we're giving up the entirety of our self—our life—in that moment, thus framing it as a "life economy," is one of many worthy moments in this recent Struthless video. Not just a screed of doomer observations, it includes a suggested solution that appeals to the nascent punk in me.

You may be feeling lonely. But, you're not alone.

I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

BEES
#Brigid, the Celtic goddess, is said to have brought bees to Ireland from her apple orchards in the Otherworld, providing a nurturing foodstuff, sweetness & a healing agent through her honey ✨💫 #FolkloreSunday #Imbolc #StBrigid #CelticGoddess #Folklore #Ireland #honey #myth #legend #fire #bees
Spring began on Imbolc in the Gaelic-speaking Celtic world, and while the Cailleach still leaves icy reminders of winter, in Brigid's honor the world is being cleansed. Briars cleared, homes swept, fields prepared for Beltane as days grow longer and warmer. #FolkloreSunday
