  5. Almost half of UK gardens are now paved, a big change from green spaces that used to support many animals. This is a significant loss for urban wildlife.

  7. NEED TO KNOW:

    40% of #bees and #pollinator species endangered worldwide

    25% of bee species no longer showing up on field records across the #planet

    76% decrease by mass in flying #insects in Germany ON NATURE RESERVES over a 26 year period

    Bee populations decreasing by 5% each year

    All caused by humans.
    Primarily due to what we choose to eat and how we choose to produce it.

  8. We are currently experiencing a triple planetary crisis: #ClimateChange, #BiodiversityLoss and #EnvironmentalPollution are deeply interconnected and threaten human life. A new series of reports identifies common causes and challenges to find mutually reinforcing solutions.

    "Up to 40% of Iceland was covered in forest when the Vikings arrived in the ninth century, but more than a millennium of deforestation and sheep farming has resulted in significant desertification. Advocates say the lupin is helping. But Óskarsdóttir says it is not so simple."

  10. The global “30x30” target—shorthand for the global initiative to #conserve at least 30% of the world’s #land, inland #waters, and #oceans by 2030—is a bold response to the twin crises of #BiodiversityLoss and #ClimateChange."

  11. This infographic from IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) explains the four "method families" for assessing the values of nature. It highlights that the global biodiversity crisis is linked to how nature is valued in decisions. The infographic describes four different approaches to valuation: nature-based, statement-based, behaviour-based, and integrated valuation.

    #FoodSystems #PlanetaryHealth

    How to transform the failing global food system to provide a resilient, #sustainable food future is one of the most urgent problems facing the world. There are increasing calls for a need to transform the system as some of the greatest challenges facing humankind (#ClimateChange, #BiodiversityLoss, #obesity) are linked with how we produce and consume food. Global changes in food demand and dietary habits are placing an unsustainable burden on healthcare systems and environmental #sustainability.

    It is within this context that United Kingdom Research and Innovation (#UKRI) invested £47.5 million into a programme ‘Transforming the UK Food System for Healthy People and a Healthy Environment’ (#TUKFS). The objective of the programme is to fundamentally transform the UK food system by placing healthy people and a healthy natural environment at its centre. In this theme issue, leading researchers involved with this programme describe some of the major outputs: new data, evidence and conclusions covering key components and stakeholders of the food system. The papers here provide a case study from the UK which can be compared to and inform policies around the world.

    In 2020, the University of Bristol in Bristol, UK, saw the installation of a fascinating and unique public art piece. Created by artist Luke Jerram, this facility not only boasts stunning visuals, but also offers a bench inside, allowing visitors to sit back and immerse themselves in what feels like a colorful rainbow conservatory. The story behind this art installation began in September 2019, when Luke Jerram was approached by Milan-based production company 3D Produzioni. They requested […]
