  1. 🐕 NEW: In mid-2025 three young male African wild #dogs left their pack in #Kafue National Park, #Zambia, and over nine months traveled 4,126 km, the longest recorded dispersal for the species.

    #GPS collars tracked their route through unprotected land and back toward their sisters. who were killed in wire snares on private property. Half the tracked dispersing groups ended in snare deaths, and researchers call for protecting #wildlife corridors.

  5. 🐒 NEW: White-handed #gibbons in #Malaysia sing elaborate duets at dawn to mark territory and coordinate with mates, and their calls carry more than 800 meters (0.5 mi) through dense canopy.

    A Universiti Sains Malaysia #study recorded morning calls at three sites with different noise levels. Gibbons beside a highway sang in 36% of recordings, compared with 71% near a #beach and 85% along a #hiking trail.

    No it’s not the founder of Microsoft!
    It’s not!
    Stop it!
    You’re better than that!

    A bit ironic though that the pusher of pesticides does bear a striking resemblance to one of the creatures most susceptible to their deadly effects. Don’t you think?

    (Common Frog - one of only three species of amphibian to be found in Ireland).

  13. The #depaving groups reclaiming #UrbanGreenSpace

    by Jennifer Cole, Mar 21, 2026

    "It took two years, but finally, in 2025, Jean Norwood’s dream of turning the parking lot at #MorningstarMissionary Baptist Church in #PortlandOR, into a play area for children and a #FoodGarden with #FruitTrees came true. Working with Norwood to bring her vision to reality was #DepavePortland. Since 2008, the Portland-based nonprofit has been digging up paved surfaces, freeing the trapped soil underneath and #regreening the newly reclaimed space.

    "There are an estimated 2 billion parking places in the United States, an area comparable in size to the entire state of Vermont. That figure does not include #sidewalks, schoolyards or other paved surfaces, which, along with #CarParks, trap heat, intensifying the urban #HeatIsland effect in some cases by up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit compared with surrounding areas. '#Asphalt makes your space hotter in the summertime, and colder in the wintertime,' Norwood says.

    "When asphalt is removed and the soil beneath is exposed, those dynamics begin to reverse. The ground can absorb and store #carbon, and #rainwater is able to filter into the soil rather than running off into sewers. #Trees and #gardens can be planted that provide shade and a #habitat is created for #birds, #insects and other #wildlife.

    "This was Norwood’s dream for the parking lot at Morningstar. Going from concrete to fruit trees, though, takes patience. 'First,' she says, 'there was about six months of planning and submitting requests for permitting.'

    "Depave guided Norwood and the church through all of it, even seeking out grants to help cover costs. When it came time to depave the parking lot, volunteers recruited by Depave used crowbars, shovels, bare hands and wheelbarrows to lift out the pavement and daylight the soil beneath. Depave also worked with Morningstar on finding contractors to build the play area and raised #GardenBeds, and on choosing the plants for each newly #regreened space. It’s a process Depave has perfected at more than 82 sites across Portland."

  18. Save the date! May 27th! #PortlandME - Making #Habitat at Home

    Rines Auditorium, #PortlandPublicLibrary
    Wednesday, May 27, 2026
    5:30pm–7:00pm
    Free. Adults 19+.

    "This presentation will describe the fundamentals of making habitat at home with #NativePlants. As #ExtremeWeather becomes more common, our spaces can serve as a vital habitat and climate refuge for #wildlife, providing much-needed relief from #HeatWaves, desiccating winds, and heavy downpours.

    "#TylerRefsland, Manager of Applied Ecology at the Wild Seed Project (#WSP), has an extensive background in plant ecology, forest restoration, and climate change. He holds a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he studied how land management practices affect the drought resilience and carbon storing capacity of oak-hickory woodlands. Prior to his role at WSP, Tyler was a postdoctoral researcher at Michigan State University, working in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service and Wisconsin DNR to develop seed collection and planting strategies to promote climate resilient forests in the Great Lakes region. He lives in Portland with his partner, their two children, and dog Harriet

    "Portland’s Sustainability Series is co-hosted by the Portland Public Library and #MomentumConservation, and is sponsored by Bangor Savings Bank. The Portland Sustainability Series presents speakers who share aspects of the work needed to make Maine and our environment more sustainable.
