📰 Dam Removals Spark Massive Alewife Comeback

🌎 Maine: After decades of decline, migrating alewife populations have rebounded from under 800 fish to more than 9 million thanks to sustained dam removal and river‑restoration efforts.

🐟 With seals, otters, bald eagles, ospreys, pollock, trout and other carnivores feeding on large populations, communities now celebrate annual alewife festivals, highlighting how ecological restoration can revive cultural traditions and local economies.

📰 Offshore Oil Exploration Blocked on South Africa’s Wild Coast

⚖️ In a landmark ruling, South Africa’s Constitutional Court struck down Shell’s exploration rights. This is a major win for coastal communities who fought for years to protect their waters, livelihoods, and cultural heritage.

🌊 The judges affirmed that 'meaningful consultation' isn’t a box‑checking exercise but a matter of dignity, recognizing communities’ constitutional rights and the ecological importance of the Wild Coast’s rich marine life.

💪 Local fishers and advocacy groups say the decision strengthens community power in environmental governance and sets a precedent for future cases across the region.

The #foxes of #Islington would rather I just #walktober onwards, and leave them with the privacy necessary to bothering their neighbours by yowling in the dark!

I can’t really tell individual rabbits apart 🐇
But I think this might be the one that was born near my house earlier this year. I have been seeing it around since it was tiny in the spring, and now it’s grown quite a bit 😊
