  1. 'Thinning' native forest and wildlife: 'Logging by another name'

    "Scrutiny over WA government's decision to 'eco-thin' landmark South West forests."

    "These forests, globally recognised biodiversity hotspots, were clear-felled by loggers for almost 200 years, until native logging was banned entirely in 2024."

    "A South West landowner says contractors are ripping up trees without thought, and an independent scientist argues there is no scientific basis for the practice...It does not seem like much has changed from the preceding years of native logging.They don't care about the environment; [the contractors] are just ripping up trees for money."

    "Almost 146,000 hectares of state forests and timber reserves have been earmarked as potentially suitable for ecological thinning."

    A globally acknowledged expert in conservation biology and landscape ecology, Professor Lindenmayer said there was limited scientific evidence to support ecological thinning. The reality is that forests have been in Australia for about 180 million years and that means that people haven't been messing with them for 179,930 years, and they've survived very well … without those kinds of interventions." >>

  6. "#NayakrishiAndolon, literally means New Agricultural Movement led by #farmingcommunities, is an innovative practice of #biodiversity -based #ecological #agriculture. The immediate goal is to resist the economic and technological processes that is turning the earth into barren fields and industrial deserts. At the community level the goal is to innovate strategies of survival by attaining seed and #foodsovereignty co-creating with nature life-affirming environment, ecology and the rich genetic base of #Bangladesh. Understanding farming as engaging sensuously with nature and submission of our faculties to the joyful metabolic process between human beings and external world is known in Nayakrishi as 'Shohoj' ways to 'Ananda'. Nayakrishi dissolves the barrier between abstract knolwedge and actual living and highlights the joy of life."

  16. ein drama! in drei akten!
    (ich hab aber nur 2 bilder die was geworden sind)
    in einer blüte des drüsigen springkrauts taten sich sowohl eine biene als auch eine wespe gütlich. die biene kam zuerst raus, die wespe direkt danach. als sie zusammenstießen dachte sich die wespe "oh lecker biene!" und biss der ins bein. beide stürzten ab und durch den aufschlag konnte die biene sich befreien. ich hoffe ihr bein ist ok.

  26. Da es in Deutschland keine ausreichende #Klimapolitik gibt, sorgt der #Klimawandel dafür, dass mehr gebetet wird. 🤪

    Die #Gottesanbeterin breitet sich in Deutschland zunehmend aus. Seit Anfang Juli wurden mehr als 17.000 Sichtungen gemeldet, doppelt so viele wie im gesamten Vorjahr.

    Besonders häufig kommt das Insekt inzwischen entlang des Rheins sowie zwischen Berlin und Thüringen vor.

  31. “According to the U.N., an estimated 40 percent of the world’s lands are degraded, largely from neglect, drought and over-grazing, meaning they’re less able to hold water and sequester carbon.

    Restoring these lands could yield enormous benefits for food production, drought mitigation and carbon storage.”
