Today is #InternationalBiodiversityDay . Biodiversity is a treasure of our planet and an essential metric of the health of ecosystems. But biodiversity is subject to intense pressure from multiple factors -- habitat loss, invasive species, pollution, population, and over-harvesting. One thing we know is that creating large, connected land and sea conservation regions can preserve biodiversity. The world is fighting to preserve #30by30 - 30% of Earth's surface by 2030.

For #InternationalBiodiversityDay I'll look beyond the soil, and showcase the amazing water-living springtail Podura aquatica.
Their adaptations for a life on the water surface include a flattened jumping organ, hydrophobic cuticle, and depositing their spermatophores and eggs on water!

It's the #InternationalBiodiversityDay!
Industrial agribusiness boosted by generous subsidies produces plenty of #meat. Meat production requires large areas & takes space from wild nature.
So let's eat less meat, and help to revive #biodiversity!
