Australian wildlife are seeking out buildings as substitute habitats as their natural homes and hollows are being destroyed

"In New South Wales, the Wires rescue service said animals often sought shelter during cold or extreme weather. We’re in a biodiversity crisis and a housing crisis."

"While architecture often focused on ways to keep nature out, there were opportunities to design buildings that were better for both people and wildlife. That could include wildlife-friendly lighting and noise reduction measures, as well as habitat features, like swallow shelves or possum boxes."

“One of the things that I would really like to see in Australia, is that we think about embedding the ecologist in the design process like you would with, say, an engineer." >>.

What happened, Moon Mission?

After watching the video, I am thinking, we should land a Starship in a deep crater and unload the Lunar Boring Machines sooner rather than later. Bore an opening to the massive lava tubes, mine the water ice that covers the floor of the lava tube, and build the habitat.??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-nUKSLPw6c

If we are actually planning to stay on the Moon, we need the protection of a hundred meters of regolith. And the water ice to stay alive…
‘I was thinking that for years…’

Prompt:
Video Link
Summarize and list the key points

Gemini Said:
This video by Astrum Extra, titled “Exactly How We’re Going to Colonise the Moon,” is a compilation discussing human return to the Moon, lunar science, and recent exploration missions.

Video Summary

The video explores humanity’s ongoing efforts and technical strategies to set up permanent bases on the Moon. It details how satellite mappers (like NASA’s LRO and South Korea’s Danuri/ShadowCam) identify crucial lunar resources and shelter sites, examines the test results and mission progression of NASA’s Artemis program (from Artemis 1 through Artemis 4), and reviews the findings of India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission regarding the search for water ice at the lunar South Pole [00:51], [08:41], [13:58], [01:13:04].

Key Takeaways & Points

1. Lunar Geology & Natural Resources

• Pit Craters & Lava Tubes: The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) discovered pit craters over 100 meters deep that lead to subterranean lava tube cave systems [02:34], [03:06]. These offer natural protection from lethal solar/cosmic radiation and meteorites, serving as ideal shelter locations for human habitats [03:53], [04:16].
• Lunar Water Cycle: Trace amounts of water exist in the surface regolith and shift in a subtle cycle driven by temperature changes throughout the lunar day [04:41], [05:11].
• Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs): Polar craters shielded from direct sunlight reach temperatures as low as -250°C, making them the coldest measured places in the solar system [05:54], [06:46]. These “cold traps” host locked reserves of water ice along with carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen compounds [07:04], [07:23].

2. Mapping and Imaging Advancements

• ShadowCam (Danuri Orbiter): Developed by NASA and carried aboard South Korea’s KPLO (Danuri), ShadowCam features 200-times greater light sensitivity than LRO cameras, allowing scientists to peer deep into shadowed crater interiors like Shackleton Crater to inspect for surface ice deposits [08:41], [09:08], [09:23].

3. The Artemis Program Milestones & Challenges

• Artemis 1 (Uncrewed Flight Test): Successfully launched aboard the SLS rocket in late 2022, placing the Orion capsule into a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon and testing key autonomous navigation, deep-space life support systems, and atmospheric re-entry [15:38], [21:43], [26:06].
• Anomalies Identified: Post-flight inspections revealed heat shield erosion (AVcoat material charring/chipping unexpectedly during re-entry) and minor helium/propulsion system leaks [35:52], [36:08], [01:06:07].
• Artemis 2 (Crewed Flyby): Designed as a 10-day mission carrying four astronauts (Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen) to perform flybys of the Moon, testing human systems, optical laser communication (O2O), and radiation exposures in deep space [29:43], [50:23], [53:49], [55:55].
• Artemis 3 & 4 Adjustments: Artemis 3 was shifted to a low-Earth orbit docking test (similar to Apollo 9) to lower technical risk, targeting the actual crewed lunar landing at the South Pole for Artemis 4 [38:32], [39:33], [41:51].
• Next-Gen Suits & Tools: Astronauts will use modern Axiom Space suits (built with Prada) and specialized instruments (like DUSTER) to withstand extreme cold and fine, abrasive lunar glass dust [43:21], [44:41], [45:37].

4. Chandrayaan-3 and the Search for Ice

• Historic Landing: India’s ISRO became the first agency to land a spacecraft (Vikram lander and Pragyan rover) near the lunar South Pole on a budget of ~$75 million [01:13:12], [01:17:28].
• Surface Composition: In-situ testing detected elements like aluminum, titanium, iron, calcium, oxygen, and sulfur in the polar regolith [01:19:12], [01:19:21].
• Where Is the Water? The rover found no immediate surface ice or hydrogen in the top layer [01:19:43], [01:23:57]. However, thermal probes revealed that while surface temperatures reached ~60°C, temperatures plunged down to -10°C just 8 cm below the surface, showing that lunar regolith acts as an insulator and suggesting water ice is buried underneath [01:24:25], [01:25:03].

[not my usual fare to post, but fascinating…]
“#Bigcats have a big impact. A long-term study showed that when mountain lions began regular visits to a small suburban preserve about 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of San Francisco, they changed the behavior of many other animals.
Mountain lions (Puma concolor) started appearing with increasing frequency on trail cameras at Stanford's Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve ('Ootchamin 'Ooyakma) from 2015 to 2020. Researchers documented a corresponding drop in deer activity compared with the prior years of lower or absent puma activity. Vegetation surveys also showed that many woody plants deer like to eat or tend to trample, including young oak trees, began to thrive.
These types of multilevel effects, called trophic cascades, have been studied primarily in large wilderness areas, particularly cascades caused by #apexpredators such as #wolves reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park...”

Malnourished and sick kangaroos, isolated by urban sprawl on New South Wales's Mid North Coast

"...The kangaroos were chronically malnourished because they could not find enough to eat in an area bordered by ocean, the nearby Emerald Beach settlement, and the Pacific Highway. Our theory is that ongoing development … the M1 being upgraded and an increase in suburban dwellings, that this population is isolated." >>

A proposed development for a private property on Admirals Road will result in the removal of 33 #GarryOak trees. The #Esquimalt #Climate Organizers have started a petition to prevent this from happening.

This petition asks the #EsquimaltCouncil to deny the current #development permit for the property and require it to be redesigned to allow for the #preservation of the Garry Oak and #DouglasFir #ecosystem. The removal of these #trees would have a large negative impact on #habitat and hydrology for the community, and will require 66 #replacement trees elsewhere as per Esquimalt’s #TreeProtection bylaw.

Please sign the #petition

Honor World Wetlands Day with a Charleston marsh cleanup

by Claudia Landis
Wed, January 28, 2026 at 10:28 AM EST

#CharlestonSC (WCBD) – "A #marsh cleanup event is planned on World Wetlands Day in Downtown Charleston.

"The #CharlestonWaterkeeper, #KeepCharlestonBeautiful, and #TheMarshProject are hosting a cleanup near Waterfront Park in Downtown Charleston and are seeking volunteers.

"Volunteers will pick up litter from one of the city’s beloved marsh fronts. Volunteers should wear closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothing that can get dirty.

"Spaces are limited, so interested volunteers are encouraged to sign up here.

"Feb. 2 is World Wetlands Day, a fitting moment for Charleston Waterkeeper to celebrate, as about 40% of Charleston is considered a wetland ecosystem, the group says on a recent Facebook post.

"The group also says marshes are vital. They provide #habitat, stabilize #shorelines, and protect us from #StormSurges. Cleanups help keep these #ecosystems resilient and protect all residents."

#Pseudoscorpions are #interesting and #biologically diverse #arachnids that are often overlooked due to their #smallsize. Many species are #grounddwellers or live in deadwood. The largest #taxon is the #Chernetidae, with approximately 726 extant #species. L. Laibe et al.

The #CowichanRiver #estuary is one of the largest & most important in #BritishColumbia. The #watershed drains 90,000 hectares & provides #CriticalHabitat to dozens of #fish species, including #steelhead, #Chinook, #chum, #coho & #PinkSalmon, as well as brown, #cutthroat & #RainbowTrout. But the #Cowichan’s troubles are by no means unique; they are a #CaseStudy for a much larger problem.

#TimberCompanies store #LogBooms all along the #BCcoast, says Jamieson Atkinson, a fish #biologist & program manager for the #Aquatic #Research & #Restoration Centre at #BritishColumbiaConservationFoundation. “It’s shocking.” While #estuaries make up less than 3% of British Columbia’s coast, they provide rich #habitat for 80% of the province’s coastal #wildlife. The #FraserRiver estuary, near #Vancouver on the mainland, supports more than 300 species of #birds & 80 species of fish & #shellfish for at least part of their life cycles.
