Insects are victims, not just invaders, says study Insects are often seen as invaders due to high-profile species like the yellow-legged (Asian) hornet, the harlequin ladybird and fire ant. But new research reveals insects are also major victims of in...

World profoundly out of balance.

"Insects are undergoing concerning declines across the world and as this trend continues, essential ecosystem services will increasingly be at risk."

Fed agency looking for wildlife refuges that 'no longer align with the mission' The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it's looking for ways to make hundreds of wildlife refuges and dozens of fish hatcheries more efficient.

When a wildlife agency starts asking which refuges “no longer align with the mission,” it’s preparing to liquidate.

Habitat doesn’t fail a mission.

Chemical industry accused of manipulating PFAS 'forever chemical' data Scientists caution against attempts to narrow the PFAS chemical list by changing the definition of exactly what a "forever chemical" is.

A photograph of hands holding a young plant with soil around its roots. Over the image is the headline “Can more plants be grown here?” Below is a quote from Natalie Bennett asking the Government whether it plans to conduct a feasibility study on what percentage of imported plants can be grown in the UK, and what steps it will take to develop an action plan for productive and ornamental trees. A small circular photo of Natalie Bennett appears near the bottom alongside her name and title, Green Party Peer, with the Green Party logo at the bottom of the graphic.

Building resilience means strengthening domestic plant production.

Understanding what can be grown in the UK is a practical step towards protecting nature, livelihoods and supply chains.

More than 200 leading cultural figures call for release of jailed Palestinian leader Group including Margaret Atwood, Ian McKellen and Richard Branson sign open letter to free Marwan Barghouti

I signed the letter calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti. Overnight, I've received some 2,000 attack emails, identical text but different purported senders and subject headers. Still coming through now. Other signatories also getting it. Definitely an op.

They are both found on water and they have a role they play in biological biodiversity
What do you think about it and how can we save biodiversity in our water bodies

Mushrooms—quiet, overlooked, essential. The ESA protects the obvious. Most species disappear quietly.

The Endangered Species Act lets us measure our virtue even as the world empties around us.
This is an excerpt from a larger piece about what protection means….and what it fails to capture.

When shall we stop spreading hate and start to spread love and peace in our communities

I definitely know there are people behind these phones and I believe they love humanity

Let’s collaborate together to create a livable society and diverse with nature protection actions

We definitely need more Love in the world brother ❤️

Look at that margin!! Great time to join us

Leadbeater’s possum — a critically endangered species that shows how policy delays and habitat loss outpace protection.

Protecting a species without protecting its ecosystem is like saving a single lung and calling the patient cured. Stay tuned. My upcoming essay on the Endangered Species Act explores how policy too often mistakes paperwork for protection.

Wetlands have been decimated by agriculture and development. Scenes like this are becoming increasingly rare as forests, wetlands, and soils — the living systems that absorb and sustain Earth’s carbon balance — disappear.

We didn’t just fill the sky with carbon — we dismantled Earth’s ability to absorb it. Forests, wetlands, soils, oceans — the lungs, heart, skin, and blood of a living planet.

Clear-cut forest with felled logs piled in the foreground — a stark reminder of humanity’s ongoing impact on Earth’s living systems.

By romanticizing the past and rationalizing the present, we hide from the enormity of what we’ve done…..and are still doing to Earth’s living systems.

Beautiful place to keep for generations
Looking at it you may see how beautiful and amazing it’s looking like
Let’s connect to create more nature stories together and we support the cause

Wow stunning landscape 💚

Invasive species are driving more extinctions than climate change though the two are becoming harder to separate. A warming world often makes invaders stronger, natives weaker, and the lines blur.

Why is humanity headed for disappearance? My book, Racing To Extinction and website race2extinct.com explores our deep-time journey—2.5 million years of evolution leading to the ecological crisis we face today.

Future ocean warming may cause large reductions in Prochlorococcus biomass and productivity Data collection We deployed the SeaFlow shipboard flow cytometer16 on 90 cruises from 2010 to 2023. The instrument continuously sampled seawater from the ship’s underway intake, located at 3–8 m below the surface. Seawater was pumped through a 100-µm stainless...

We're within 3 years of reaching a critical climate threshold. Can we reverse course? A report published in June found that the world only has three years before it crosses the 1.5 C climate target. So what should we do now?
