  1. The #Europeanbeech #Fagus #sylvatica (#Fagaceae) is considered a very original #faunalelement of #CentralEurope and is still the most common tree in native #mixedforests. The #tree can live up to 300 years. During the last #IceAge, this tree species was only found in #refuges in #SouthernEurope, from where it subsequently spread northward again. #biodiversity #trees

  6. Apparently ICE is confiscating passports of trans-people??? WTF is going on, here? Is the gender ID on passports thought to invalidate the passport, now, & therefore people's citizenship? #ICE #Raids #Trump #Trans #Immigrants #Refuges

  7. #Aerialphotography not only allows the #landscape #photographer a #perspective that is otherwise reserved for birds. #Dronephotography also provides an impression of #ecological #contexts. For example, my aerial photo from the north of #Berlin clearly shows the natural corridors between agricultural areas, which allows #biodiversity to spread and find #refuges for hibernation.

  8. “I exhort men to cease to hide themselves in the refuges which they have constructed in themselves from fear of facing reality. I bid them take cognizance of the existence of their fellow individuals to realize the infinite possibilities of experience open to them & to satisfy their sense that they are incomplete by uniting themselves with all other beings.”

  9. In my current #behance #art #project I show a #photoseries of #aerial photos of #forests and #fields in #Berlin and the surrounding area. The drone footage from 2020-2022 (newly edited) show the many #greenspaces in a cosmopolitan #city as #refuges for a considerable #biodiversity

  10. Private landholders control 60% of the Australian continent.
    Many of Australia’s ecosystems are severely degraded.
    Only 22% of Australia’s landmass is currently protected.

    "About 60% of the continent is owned or managed privately – and 70% to 90% of inadequately protected wildlife is found mostly on such land, which includes farms, pastoral leases and mines."

    "Through what legal mechanism can private landholders be engaged in biodiversity conservation? A conservation covenant is a legally binding commitment landholders make to restrict how their property is used."

    "Existing covenants are generally used to protect high-value conservation land where ecosystems are healthy. Rarely are they used on degraded land needing restoration, such as overgrazed paddocks or former mining."

  15. This #rain should jump-start the #waterfowl winter habitat in the northern #California Central Valley #wildlife #refuges. Yay!

    My photo from Jan 2015 at Colusa Natl Wildlife Refuge. Great place to visit, especially later in the year when there's standing water. 1000's of waterfowl.

    #Accessible viewing deck and bird-from-car auto-tour drive. Not so much a #hiking destination.

  20. #Refuges Chaque année, plusieurs milliers d’animaux de ferme maltraités sont saisis dans des #élevages. Des ONG leur cherchent alors une solution de repli. Mais elles tirent la langue et demandent à l’Etat de s’investir davantage.

    Les #refuges de la #SPA commencent à saturer

    La SPA a constaté une hausse de 11 % des abandons depuis le début de l'été. Les refuges ne trouvent pas de place pour héberger les animaux, rapporte RTL.
