#grasslandconservation — Public Fediverse posts

Keep your cat indoors.

In most of the world including ~~all of the U.S.~~, they are an incredibly destructive and invasive species. They kill more birds than wind turbines and windows combined. Especially the endangered, and most at risk ones.

Conservation orgs, especially governmental ones are scared of public backlash, so they avoid the topic or water the language down. We need to stop w/ that silliness.

🦋 POLLINATOR WEEK 🐝

📰 Netherlands: Newly created biodiversity‑offset grasslands are already strong habitat for wild pollinators.

🌼 Offset sites had 2X more wild bees than long‑established grasslands, plus higher bee species richness. Hoverflies and flower abundance were similar, even if species mixes differed.

🛠️ Researchers stress that success depends on careful planning and active management.

🌻 “...when implemented well, biodiversity offset sites can be as good, and may initially even be better, than existing sites in terms of wild pollinator species richness.”
