  4. Invasive worms are spreading across Oregon, threatening gardens and forests | Oregon Field Guide

    CW: It can be fraught talking about introduced species that create ecosystem imbalances since there's a history of metaphorical pest rhetoric being used by eugenicists in the US; the worm species comes from East Asia so there are references to that.

  10. Coogee WA park has fruiting olive trees being used as food by (I think) parrots.

    It's been a mystery to me why so many olives get left on the tree or on the ground uneaten by birds.

    This is the first time I've seen evidence of them being eaten.
    If they are good food then if a species taps into this source its population might boom.
    Hoping it's 28s / ring-neck parrots. And not the invasive Eastern Rosellas.

  15. A bit of hopeful environmental news: In Kosciuszko National Park, the reduction of thousands of feral horses has allowed fragile alpine ecosystems to begin recovering. Native plants are returning, wetlands are healing, and wildlife habitats are slowly being restored.
    It's a meaningful reminder that with careful management and respect for balance, nature can regenerate. Good news for biodiversity and for future generations.

  20. The two brown-grey fallow deer does here look like they’re about ready to drop fawns. It’s that time of the year.

    They don’t belong here, as they’re introduced (nearly 200 years ago), but they’re here now, so managing them becomes a priority.

  25. Man's best friend - First eradicate the Neanderthals, then biodiversity

    Humans and their dogs drove our evolutionary cousins Neanderthals to extinction
    "Early dogs, bred from wolves, played a critical role in the modern human’s takeover of Europe 40,000 years ago when we vanquished the Neanderthal locals. The Neanderthals, who had lived there for more than 200,000 years. However, within a few thousand years of our arrival, they disappeared...Humans and hunting dogs were, and still are, a deadly combination." >>

    Man’s best friend may be nature’s worst enemy, study on pet dogs
    “Many owners simply don’t realise the environmental damage dogs can cause, from disturbing wildlife to polluting ecosystems." >>

    Bad dog? The environmental effects of owned dogs
    "The sheer number of dogs contributes to global carbon emissions and land and fresh water use via the pet food industry. " >>
