A Kushner‑backed luxury project in Albania becomes a litmus test for EU accession green standards.
Concerning issues in Albania’s rule-of-law are being exposed through the cracks of the so-called ‘Flamingo Revolution’ affair – and far beyond nature conservation – to the extent that its EU accession may be at stake.

Collapsing Mountains In Alaska Are Causing Massive Tsunamis
Alexandre Rosa/Alamy Stock Photo Sasha Calvey heard the tsunami coming. It was after 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 10, 2025, and she was camped with two friends on a remote island in Southeast Alaska. They were 74 days into a sea kayaking trip from Washington. Heavy rain had fallen overnight, with gusts that swayed the spruce and hemlocks overhead. From her sleeping bag inside the tent, Calvey heard waves tumbling against the shore.......Continue reading.... By: Tim Lydon Source:High Country […] -

🌿 Po co jechać na Letnią Szkołę Bagienną?
W tym roku w ramach Letniej Szkoły Bagiennej przeszkoliliśmy dwadzieścia osób, reprezentujących: jednostki administracji odpowiedzialne za ochronę przyrody (RDOŚ w Gdańsku, Wrocławiu i Rzeszowie, Zespół Parków Krajobrazowych Województwa Zachodniopomorskiego), organizacje pozarządowe (Centrum Ochrony Mokradeł, OTOP - Ogólnopolskie Towarzystwo Ochrony Ptaków, Ekipa z Bagien), Lasy Państwowe (Regionalna Dyrekcja Lasów Państwowych w Olsztynie, Nadleśnictwo Lidzbark, Leśny Bank Genów Kostrzyca, Lasy Państwowe), samorządy (Powiat Kartuski, Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Mazowieckiego), naukowców i biznes (AECO).
🤔 Ale czego właściwie tam szukali? I co znaleźli? Zapytaliśmy ich o to na miejscu!
💬 Odpowiedzi były różne, ale cel wspólny - ochrona mokradeł w Polsce. Podczas szkolenia uczestnicy mogli poznać różne torfowiska i ich problemy oraz dowiedzieć się od praktyków, jak najlepiej działać na rzecz takich siedlisk.
🌱 Praktyczna wiedza, wymiana doświadczeń i punktów widzenia na ochronę mokradeł są dla nas podczas Letniej Szkoły Bagiennej najważniejsze.
Projekt został sfinansowany ze środków Funduszu Klimatycznego Republiki Federalnej Niemiec, reprezentowanej przez Federalne Ministerstwo Spraw Zagranicznych, działające za pośrednictwem Ambasada Niemiec w Warszawie.

🐢 Co zagraża żółwiom błotnym w Polsce?
W połowie czerwca zakończyliśmy pierwszą edycję wolontariatu polegającego na czynnej ochronie żółwia błotnego w Sobiborskim Parku Krajobrazowym. Pokazywaliśmy Wam już, na czym polega ochrona, ale nie wyjaśniliśmy dotąd, dlaczego właściwie żółwie jej potrzebują.
🎙️ Zapytaliśmy o to Alicję Sulimę, pracowniczkę Zespołu Lubelskich Parków Krajobrazowych, koordynującą akcję z ich strony. Alicja to prawdziwa ekspertka żółwiowa!
⚠️ Jakie zagrożenia wskazała?
🌿 Niszczenie i zanik siedlisk
⚡ Konkurencja ze strony gatunków inwazyjnych
🦝 Presja drapieżników wyjadających jaja
To właśnie przed tym ostatnim zagrożeniem chronimy żółwie w Sobiborskim Parku Krajobrazowym.
🚗 Dodatkowym zagrożeniem są także samochody. Wiele żółwi ginie pod kołami, co jest niestety problemem dotyczącym wielu gatunków dzikich zwierząt w Polsce.
💚 Dlatego każdy z nas może coś zrobić!
🐢 Zwolnij, kiedy jedziesz przez tereny leśne i obszary cenne przyrodniczo.
🚨 Dobiega końca nasza zbiórka na ochronę żółwi na Patronite. Ostatnia szansa na wsparcie! 🚨

That a #Pope should comment on national hunting legislation at all is remarkable. Previous Popes were strikingly reticent on the subject of #natureconservation. Leo XIV chose diplomatic words and avoided any direct appeal to the government, yet the message was unambiguous: the country's most prominent moral figure took the side of the bird protectors. It did not impress the majority in Rome: majorities pushing through such a law are rarely stopped by moral appeals.

#Wildlife populations that are already suffering under #climate pressure do not need additional hunting during phases of acute environmental stress.They need rest,functioning habitats,watering places. That hobby hunters head into the forest during heat phases of all times is not #natureconservation but its opposite.
Extreme weather events limit the ability of wild animals to respond to dangers.This concerns not only wildfires and #climatechange, but also hobby hunting -

The DJV is not a #natureconservation association. It is a weapons lobby with a green veneer and political connections reaching into the Bundestag. Whoever forgets this fails to understand why the hunting acts in Germany are the way they are – and why they are so difficult to change.

Greetings to All
Sparrows play an important role in maintaining ecological balance. They feed on small insects found on plants, trees, and in the surrounding environment. By helping to control insect populations, sparrows indirectly contribute to a healthier environment and may reduce the spread of certain pests that can affect human health.

Remember How Sucking Carbon Out of The Air Was Going To Save The Planet? We Have Terrible News
Shutterstock / Futurism The idea of sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere to combat climate change might be a necessary intervention, but it always sounded like a longshot. Unfortunately, it seems like the strategy is already hitting a wall. A new report published this week found that ongoing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) efforts are barely putting a dent in the fight against global warming and that for them to start making an impact, they would need to be scaled up at a rate that rivals the […] -

predators such as the #wolf are described as “too many”, even though their population is in the four-digit range and stagnating. Hobby hunters, almost 470,000 in number, are framed as indispensable #natureconservation, even though they kill dozens of people every year and injure hundreds, and are not required to demonstrate any ecological training comparable to genuine expertise in #wildlife biology.

#Maine - This is #EmeraldAshBorer Awareness Week
"The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Maine Forest Service is asking residents, landowners, and municipalities to help slow the spread of the invasive emerald ash borer (#EAB), a destructive insect responsible for killing millions of ash trees across North America.
As the emerald ash borer continues to threaten Maine’s forests and communities, the Maine Forest Service encourages the public to learn how to identify #AshTrees and signs of infestation, participate in monitoring efforts, and help prevent the spread of invasive pests.
Here are five ways to help slow EAB:
White vs brown Ash
Learn how to identify ash trees
May is a great time to identify ash trees. While all the other hardwood trees are leafing out, Maine's ash trees still look like sticks in the sky. For white and green ash, look for opposite branching and small, ridged bark arranged in a diamond pattern. Brown ash bark (also known as black ash) is characteristically gray to dark gray, with a spongy, corky texture.Ash Blonding
Learn how to identify signs of emerald ash borer
Now that you know what an ash tree looks like, look for signs of emerald ash borer in the trees. You may spot "blonding" on ash trees, the shallow flecking of the bark by woodpeckers going after EAB larvae and pupae. If you think you see "blonding," take some good quality photos, note your location, and report your findings on the EAB Report Form.
Learn how to identify emerald ash borer
Chances are, you won't see EAB adults in May, but come June, you may see some as they start to emerge from ash trees. If you think you see an EAB, try to capture it or take a photo and report your findings on the EAB Report Form.Create a girdled ash tree to monitor for emerald ash borer
Your tree can be part of the EAB monitoring network. Knowing the whereabouts of EAB helps the DACF and others make good management decisions about ash.
Leave your firewood at home and prevent the spread of invasive pests
Planning a camping trip? Learn about Maine’s firewood laws, and get your firewood at the campground or go to FirewoodScout.org to find other local sources.For more information about emerald ash borer, identification resources, and reporting tools, visit the Maine Forest Service Emerald Ash Borer page."

Beside the nature house, there's a short trail that leads to the gazebo/outdoor classroom area. It's a nice spot to have a picnic in the shade, when there's not educational programs happening because it has seating & a table.
The #WheelchairPath / #AccessibleTrail is on the left. The native plant garden trail is on the right (not an accessible trail for wheelchair users). You can see plenty of native plants & trees along the accessible trail though.#AccessibleNature #PeopleWithDisabilities #SwanLakeNatureSanctuary #Saanich #VictoriaBC #CommunityEducation #nonprofit #NatureConservation #stewardship #ProtectNature #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #VisitAndLearn #GetOutside #YYJParksAccessibility

#SwanLakeNatureSanctuary - the #NatureHouse. This is where I worked out of in my late 20s, as a nature interpreter/educator for public school field trips for a few months. I taught out of the nature house, an outdoor gazebo & on the central dock at the nature sanctuary.
There's been several upgrades to the nature house & to the nature sanctuary, since the early 2000s.https://www.swanlake.bc.ca/the-nature-house-2

There's been several upgrades to the nature house & to the nature sanctuary, since the early 2000s.https://www.swanlake.bc.ca/the-nature-house-2

World Migratory Bird Day
Dopo aver raccontato questa affascinante ricorrenza
torniamo a parlare della World Migratory Bird Day – Giornata Mondiale degli Uccelli Migratori, che nel 2026 cade sabato 9 maggio, come sempre nel secondo sabato di maggio. Ma quest’anno porta con sé un messaggio ancora più coinvolgente e attuale…
🌍 Cos’è (e perché continua a emozionare)
È una campagna globale sostenuta anche dalle Nazioni Unite per sensibilizzare sulla tutela degli uccelli migratori e dei loro habitat. Questi straordinari viaggiatori attraversano continenti, oceani e città, ricordandoci che la natura non ha confini. E proprio per questo la loro protezione è una responsabilità condivisa.
📅 La particolarità della doppia data
Forse non tutti lo sanno (perfetto da aggiungere!):
la giornata si celebra due volte l’anno:- secondo sabato di maggio (migrazione verso i siti di nidificazione)
- secondo sabato di ottobre (ritorno verso le aree di svernamento)
Un modo poetico per seguire il ritmo naturale delle migrazioni nel mondo.
✨ Novità 2026: “Every Bird Counts”
Il tema 2026 è: “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter!” (Ogni uccello conta – Le tue osservazioni sono importanti!)
Un invito diretto a tutti noi: anche una semplice osservazione può diventare un dato prezioso per la scienza.
👉 Grande protagonista è infatti la citizen science (scienza partecipata), cioè il contributo delle persone comuni nel monitorare e proteggere gli uccelli migratori.
🔎 Un anniversario speciale
Il 2026 coincide anche con un traguardo importante: 60 anni dell’International Waterbird Census, uno dei più grandi programmi globali di monitoraggio degli uccelli acquatici. Un dettaglio che rende questa edizione ancora più significativa!
💡 Come partecipare (anche in modo chic!)
Non serve essere esperti birdwatcher:
- una passeggiata nella natura 👣
- una foto condivisa 📸
- un’osservazione registrata online
possono contribuire davvero alla conservazione della biodiversità.
🕊️ Un piccolo gesto, un grande viaggio
Se nel articolo precedente si è raccontato il valore simbolico e naturale della giornata, il 2026 aggiunge un tassello importante: ognuno di noi può fare la differenza.
Perché, proprio come gli uccelli migratori ci insegnano… anche il viaggio più lungo inizia da un piccolo battito d’ali. 💫
