Public bat banding near Whitehorse shines light on seldom seen Yukon species
Bats provide the night shift. They’re the ones out there eating mosquitoes, [and] moths and things of that nature. So, without bats, we wouldn’t have control or regulation of some of the nightly flying insects.”

I've been lurking on Mastodon for a few months and have yet to introduce myself.
Oakley, human(supposedly), neurodivergent. Likes insects, space, native plants, and marine science.
This account is a project to document my journey in developing research skills and highlight the beauty of Tennessee's natural heritage. Sometimes may post about political topics as the environment includes humans.#introduction #Chattanooga #Tennessee #environment #nature #neurodivergent #conservation #improvement

📰 Butterflies Are Relocating Rapidly as the Planet Warms
🌍 Earth: A global analysis of **1,758 species across 105 countries** shows butterflies are relocating at remarkable scale, expanding, contracting, and climbing to new elevations as climate pressure intensifies.
🦋 Tropical species are surging into new territories, while many temperate species are losing ground to agriculture and habitat disturbance.
📈 Roughly 1 in 10 of the world’s 19,000 species now appear in places they weren’t historically found, a signal of profound ecological change.

Hidden moth population found after 70 years
A hidden population of one of #England 's rarest #moths has been found at a site where it had not been seen for more than 70 years.
Evie Lake, 13 August 2026
"Head of conservation at #ButterflyConservation Dr Dave Wainwright has spent his career searching for the dark bordered beauty and said he felt an 'overwhelming feeling of relief' when they were found at #WallingtonEstate, in #Northumberland.
"For decades, the only site where the moth was found in England was at Strensall Common, in Yorkshire, but the population there has been in decline due to #ClimateChange and a wildfire.
"The discovery has given conservationists new hope for the species and opened up the possibilities of where more can be found.
"Once widespread across northern England and Scotland, habitat loss has caused significant decline in the #DarkBorderedBeautyMoth.
"The custard-and-chocolate-coloured moth was found at the National Trust site previously but had not been seen since 1952."
[...]
"The moth's caterpillars will only eat two plants - #aspen and #CreepingWillow - which makes it a challenge to conserve, according to #ButterflyConservation."

TYGER, TYGER, BURNING BRIGHT 💎
I went looking for some good news again this morning.
I found a tiger.
Her name is Umit. It means HOPE.
On 31 July 2026, Kazakhstan released her into the wild beside Lake Balkhash, where tigers had disappeared more than 70 years ago.
And this wasn’t somebody just opening a cage and hoping for the best.
For more than a decade, people have been preparing the land. They created a protected nature reserve, restored habitat and water systems, brought back kulan, deer and wild boar, and worked to rebuild the prey base a tiger would actually need.
They also trained people to track the animals and deal with encounters between tigers and humans.
Then finally they brought in Umit, a wild Amur tiger from the Russian Far East, fitted her with a satellite collar...
...and opened the gate.
She walked out.
The tiger that originally lived there, the Caspian tiger, is extinct. But genetic research showed that Caspian and Amur tigers were extraordinarily closely related.
So this isn’t Jurassic Park.
It is something much more achievable and, to me, much more beautiful.
We damaged an ecosystem badly enough to lose one of its great predators.
Then people spent years repairing that ecosystem sufficiently to invite tigers back.
The plan is eventually to have about 50 wild tigers living beside Lake Balkhash again.
There is still plenty that can go wrong.
But this morning, somewhere in Kazakhstan, a tiger named Hope is walking through country where no wild tiger has walked for more than seventy years.
I think that deserves a little attention too.

Okay my 330 Gallon IBC's arrived and after they are installed in their spots, I will have just over 3000 gallons of rain catchment. the 4 330 gallons will compliment the existing 14 65 gallon and 4x275 gallon IBC's
The 65 gallons are daisy chained and catch from the roof, then are pumped to fill the 275's (and soon 330) gallon IBC that live away from the house. Normally 1-2 storms will fill the existing system so hopefully we will fill stuff up quick, then I pull the diverters and save it for summer. The water is used for fruit trees and gets me about ⅓ of the way through the summer. this will extend things quite a bit
I would add more but I do not want to stack the IBC's as full they weigh a lot

Did 26 tracker implant surgeries in mottled ducks this week in a span of 3 nights. Great crew helped me. Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge was a great place to stay and work. Enjoyed some fresh fish and shrimp too! #avian #Conservation #birdsofmastodon #ducks

Earth Day 2045: Beyond Greenwashing
This image gives us a powerful warning: planting a few trees for the cameras means little if we continue destroying forests, polluting water, and damaging the environment behind the scenes.
Real environmental action is not about appearances—it is about protecting ecosystems, reducing pollution, restoring forests, and holding ourselves accountable.
Don’t just celebrate the environment; take one meaningful action every day to protect it. But are we truly protecting the Earth, or are we only pretending to care when the cameras are watching?

#MothOfTheDay is one of several from the wainscot family. Named by Carl Linnaeus after the wood-panelling effect, but I struggle to see it myself. Nevertheless, it's a neat and beautiful moth from a busy moth box last night:
