Cost: Free with site admission"Come learn about the piping plover and what makes it so special, while taking a walk on #LaudholmBeach!
"In 1981 there were only seven pairs of piping plovers in the entire state of Maine. After decades of hard work and dedication, in 2025 there was a record 174 pairs recorded! Come learn about this federally threatened and state endangered beach-nesting shorebird and what makes it so special. Helen Manning, a Wildlife Biologist from #RachelCarsonNationalWildlifeRefuge, will lead an educational walk on the Wells Reserves Laudholm Beach to discuss the biology of the piping plover and the monitoring and management efforts that have helped this species begin to make a recovery."

#MangroveForests are healing after decades of human destruction
by Matt McGrath and Esme Stallard
June 4, 2026"The world's coastal #mangrove forests, which protect millions of people from storms - and soak up vast amounts of planet-warming gases - are staging an unexpected comeback, scientists find.
"For decades these swampy trees had been declining rapidly as they were cleared for fish farms and housing.
"But a new study shows that since 2010 the world has been gaining more mangroves than it has been losing - driven by stronger #LegalProtections and increased #PublicAwareness of their importance, sparked by disasters such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
"The researchers say the key factor though is the remarkable capacity of these forests to #regenerate naturally once humans stop chopping them down.
"Mangroves are one of the world's unsung #environmental heroes.
"Not only do they store up to five times more #CarbonDioxide than land-based forests, but their tangled roots can also slow down waves and protect coastal communities from #StormSurges and #tsunamis.
"These same roots provide a perfect nursery for many species of fish and other #MarineLife - protecting them from predators and providing ample food.
"These benefits, though, have come under serious threat over the past century as the rise of fish farming, agriculture and the expansion of coastal cities and towns have seen mangroves chopped down and rapidly removed.
"From the 1980s to 2010, over 12,000 sq km (4,600 sq miles) of mangroves were cleared or destroyed across #Asia, #Africa and the #Americas - an area the size of Jamaica.
"However, the new study shows a real reversal of that trend, particularly over the last decade. The total net losses - the forest lost and not replaced - since the 1980s have now been reduced to around 849 sq km (328 sq miles)."

Die #Energiewende haben wir zaghaft eingeleitet (auch wenn #GasReiche sie zurückdrehen will). Jetzt braucht es endlich auch die #AgrarWende und die #Verkehrswende. Danke an alle, die mit #WirHabenEsSatt @wirhabenessatt auf die Straße gegangen sind! #LessMeat #RestoreNature @Naturschutzring @NABU https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/berlin/berlin-demonstration-umwelt-mercosur-100.html

Our so-called Leaders at the #EUCO apparently did not seem to seize the urgency, but at least did not kill the (already insufficient) 2040 EU #climate target. Still: a totally unnecessary extra lap that was taken, delaying the whole process. And: what at the end matters are the (legislative, then factual) measures that are taken to reduce emissions and achieve the target! #FlyLess #LessMeat #EndFossils #RestoreNature

Dear Politicians of #EPP, #ECR & co: science is clear, fresh data is out: Europe is warming up fast! #Copernicus #ClimateEmergency #ActTheFuckNow #LessMeat #FlyLess #RestoreNature https://climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2024

Nature is so beautiful. But men are screwing it up. Because non-progressive politicians (in power: mostly the conservatives) instead of protecting it still allowing to burn fossils, to destroy peatlands & to mass-produce meat!

America is a lie, Britain is a lie, lies we are so very tired of hearing.
Only Landowners matter, the rest of us can go to a soggy hell

Aber klar, straft doch die Parteien mit umweltpolitischem Profil, allen voran #DieGrünen, bei den Wahlen ab, ob in #Brandenburg, #Österrreich oder sonstwo. Und schert euch einen Dreck um #Natur- und #Klimaschutz. Auf dass das #Hochwasser komme! #RestoreNature #FlyLess #LessMeat https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/hochwasserlage-in-deutschland-oesterreich-polen-und-tschechien-liveblog-a-4c87bd38-b63c-40ee-a83b-4846ad2a0864

#Kihtahkomikumon (Our Land) – Is #LandBack in #Passamaquoddy Territory
Sunlight Media Collective October 21, 2021
"In 2021, by an act of humanism, solidarity, and reparation, the #Passamaquoddy tribe has been reunited with 140 acres of their unceded Ancestral territory – part of the largest island in Kci Monosakom, (Big Lake) Maine. To the Passamaquoddy people, it’s more than land return; it is the return of a stolen family member. In this short film, we join Passamaquoddy community members who are finally able to reunite with their non-human Relative.
"Originally known as Kuwesuwi Monihq (Pine Island), and renamed 'White’s Island' by settlers, this place has deep historical and cultural significance to the Passamaquoddy community.
"The island was included as part of the Tribe’s #Modahkomikuk (Indian Township) reservation in the 1794 Treaty with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980. Despite treaty agreements, #KuwesuwiMonihq, or Pine Island, was stolen from the people at some point during the mid-1800s and renamed White’s Island. In fact, it seems to have been stolen by renaming it…once it became White’s Island on the map, it no longer matched the language of the 1794 treaty, which identifies Pine Island as protected, reserved land. The island fell out of Tribal stewardship quietly as colonizers bought up parcels. Once the island was considered privately owned, the Passamaquoddy people were denied access.
"Land dispossession is a barrier to #Wabanaki people who are practicing their culture and connecting with their homelands. As Tribal Nations, we are endowed with the Sacred responsibility to protect the lands we come from. In return, these lands protect us. This understanding is at the heart of the #LandBack movement, which has taken off across Turtle Island. Passamaquoddy people can now visit Kuwesuwi Monihq safely, enjoy their kinship connection to the island, and know that they will not be asked to leave.
"In efforts to heal the Earth and the damaged relationship between Indigenous & colonizing peoples, the #LandBack movement has already seen the return of millions of acres to tribes. For the Passamaquoddy, the return of their relative, Kuwesuwi Monihq, will help them fulfill those Sacred responsibilities and heal along with the land & water. All our Relations. P’site Elakumukik. #IsLandBack."
