Validating habitat suitability assessments with post‐translocation animal movement data Wildlife translocations are essential for restoring species to their native habitats, and species distribution models (SDMs) have proven useful for identifying suitable habitats to guide this process...

Species distribution models can be extremely good at predicting suitable habitat for some species like these 🦒 🦒 Angolan giraffes are back in Angola after decades of absence.

I knew it was the swans with their cloud seeding technology what made Irish weather so gray and wet

This is a new fucked up level from publishers like Wiley. On top of all the free labor. They are asking me to pay €300 for 2 extra pages (8 are free). The figures are so big, they take 3/4 of a page. And the university already covered the open access. The system is so broken 😡

Estamos luchando por nuestra vida!! No sabes nada nena…. Jaja

María Corina Machado, a U.S.-backed Venezuelan opposition figure, has received the Nobel Peace Prize.

“They didn't give it to Donald Trump, but they seem to have given it to the next best thing," says historian Greg Grandin.

So hard to keep some hope these days.

Thechnology, that thing that progresses at the same speed as human stupidity

Broadcaster and scríbhneoir Manchán Magan dies aged 55 The writer, broadcaster and documentary maker Manchán Magan has died at the age of 55, his family has confirmed.

This is a real loss. Few people did as much as Manchán Magan to connect the Irish landscape to its language and culture. His books are impressive works of accessible scholarship and will hopefully be read for many years to come. #SpeirGorm

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

Thanks for everything. Hasta siempre.

Hanging in there…

Not to mention how few will be eaten by squirrels or jays due to the lack of squirrels or jays

So good

"People kind of think of centrism as evidence-based policy. 'We'll be sensible and we'll follow the evidence.’

"I hate to break it to you, evidence is often quite radical."

The fact that so many think a bunch of trees equal a forest is a true indicator of how far detached from nature our western society got. And the main problem we should be tackling.

A short thread on Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara (National Park of the Sea) in Kerry, whichI visitedlast month.

This was announced in 2024 along with the purchase by the State of land at the Conor Pass... 🧵

If capitalism is the best and maybe only way to push forward technology to save the planet from a climatic and biodiversity collapse, then the US, the center of neoliberalism, should be at the front of decarbonisation, right? … right? Holly shit.

Climate change never hit me so badly as when realising I will never be able to experience the glaciar as I did as a child

HVO is a climate ‘quick fix’ that could be worse than fossil fuels At a Time of Climate Crisis: There are serious questions over the sustainability of hydrotreated vegetable oil and the industries that are promoting its use

📣 Palm oil is a *terrible* climate solution!

I don’t repeat topics in my column, but this month I made an exception.

HVO is being marketed even more aggressively as a miracle “drop in” fuel for everything from homes to buses to data centres.
