'Our parents were taken to a place where there was nothing': Elisapie Nutuara was forced to move 2,000 km | CBC Documentaries Elisapie Nutuara recalls what it was like to be relocated north to Grise Fiord in the High Arctic with her family

Advocacy in support of 'wild horses' in the West has become so strong that even in sensitive areas like the scenic Mono Basin, agencies are now more inclined (or forced) to let entire landscapes be chronically degraded by overgrazing. Another example where science-based mgmt has been steamrolled. 🌍

A road runs through it - The Boston Globe America’s wild lands are already home to vast networks of paved and dirt roads. Now the Trump administration is about to expand their reach.

Roadless areas are “incredibly important from an ecological standpoint,” says Leslie Weldon, former deputy chief of the US Forest Service and Y2Y board member.

But that's just the start of the impacts if the Roadless Rule is overturned. Read more in this opinion from @bengoldfarb.bsky.social

Now What? The Conundrum of Successful Recovery of Wolves and Other Species for European Conservation The recent decision to downlist the wolf from a “strictly protected” to “protected” status in the Bern Convention and Habitats Directive marks a turning point for European conservation. While reflect...

Some good points here: downlisting of wolves in Europe is a sign of success, not impending doom. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The steadily growing population of rare lesser horseshoe bats in the shed (roughly 100) attests to the level of flying insect life in the forest outside, since each bat catches around 3,000 per night.

Healthy nature depends on healthy, wild, functioning *ecosystems*.

Rewilding delivers that. 🌏

Super excited to be advertising a #PhD position on how #marine #biodiversity affects #ecosystem functioning in the #Arctic at Aarhus uni . Pls apply and repost. I am looking forward to working with you.🧪🦑🦀🌍

A photo of Jane Goodall, in her later days with a quote from her: "The greatest danger to our future is our apathy. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other."

RIP Jane Goodall, who has died at 91.

She was a gentle disrupter who reshaped how we understand our place in nature. Her research with chimpanzees revolutionized science, and her boundless optimism touched the world.

We are seeking an ornithologist/modeller for a 2-year POST-DOC in Turin. Using archaeological remains, we will reconstruct past avian communities to understand the impacts of climate change and human pressure on birds through time. For details see cutt.ly/irN76QDZ PLEASE RT. #ornithology #AviArch

Overview of the ECODATA Apps (blue boxes) in relation to the types of geospatial information they process. The apps can be used independently to visualize and manipulate data in preparation for geospatial analyses. The case studies detail workflows that use the apps together to create movement data animations, and that use these animations to support wildlife management.

Described in their applications paper, Missik et al. developed ECODATA, a suite of open-source tools to support exploration, analysis and visualization of animal movements and dynamic geospatial data layers 🐺 🦌 👇

There is so much in the news cycle these days that the complete dismantling of the Forest Service -- so *our* forests can be auctioned off to Big TImber -- is unfortunately getting little air play. But if this happens, US landscapes may be almost unrecognizable in a decade, and never coming back. 🌍

America's blame game over Canada's wildfire smoke misses the point, experts say US officials have blamed Canada for not doing enough to stop its wildfire smoke from wafting south. Climate experts say it’s not so simple.

MAGA types wrong to blame Canada for forest fires caused by carbon emissions and resulting climate change www.bbc.com/news/article...

Where does your glass come from? Glass seems simple − it’s just sand and a few more ingredients. Yet mining and production are rarely local, raising questions about sustainability.

As demand rises for glass that’s clearer, bigger, and seamless, its environmental footprint is growing, too.

A more sustainable approach could be to rethink our standards—choosing smaller panes and seeing the greenish hue not as an imperfection, but as glass’s natural character.
