The explosion in growth for Mastodon, including among mainstream, non-tech users, is genuinely exciting. That an open-source, interoperable, nonprofit-driven protocol could reach this kind of success is incredible. The future looks bright ❤️

@evan Lots of things people can do to enhance and protect #biodiversity, whether citizen, business, or politician. Some good ideas here:

In so many ways, it’s easier, more fun, and more tangible than dealing with climate. You can so often see the direct benefits of your actions. I recommend to everyone to learn a little and do a little. I’m sure you’ll end up loving what you try. And it’ll help with climate too.

Biodiversity - what can you do?

Find out what you can do to help enhance and protect biodiversity. Whether you’re a land manager, business owner, teacher or concerned citizen, you can do your bit.

Children born today will see literally thousands of animals disappear in their lifetime, as global food webs collapse

New research finds nearly 30% of land animals could disappear form their local area by 2100 due to climate change and habitat destruction. This is more than double previous predictions.

Why the future of #biodiversity is so much worse under #climateChange than even we thought:

Don’t get me wrong, I love the enthusiasm & aims underlying the #COP15 30/30 target, but a short history lesson:

- 2010 #CBD #biodiversity targets: failed
- 2020 #Aichi targets: failed
- ongoing UN #SDG 15 goal: not even close

Ask me in 10 years if we’ve made any progress, and I’ll gladly admit the error of my pessimism

#CaneToads are an invasive species in Australia. We take them out of the environment on a regular basis. They are ethically and humanely euthanised. Their bodies go to create a bait to remove their toadpoles from watersources.
Last nights adventure included a male Koala bellowing, Boobook Owl, geckos, FrogID recordings and frog sightings and about 90 Toads removed. Count for this property is now about 450. #biodiversity #landforwildlife

We are lucky enough to spend time in a place that, in late spring, is aglow with fireflies. They are the closest thing to magic that my children have ever experienced.

Meanwhile, a friend reports that, in Germany, window screens are no longer necessary in summer.

It breaks my heart to think that my children's children may not experience such wonder.
