@spun.earth is a fascinating organisation with an enthralling mission to build our understanding of the invisible but invaluable mycelial networks of map #mycorrhizal fungal communities, advocate for their protection, and consider their role in restoration.

Great graphic from @pewenvironment.bsky.social showing how road crossings work
One wildlife crossing can prevent 1,400 accidents over its lifetime, saving lives & billions of $, according to a Scioto Analysis report
Investing in these bridges + underpasses is a win-win for drivers and wildlife 🌰

Catching up with this, it is an excellent paper.
Full disclosure that the journal I edit @restorationecology.bsky.social is one of the 611 papers listed. Our parent board Society for Ecological Restoration focused on ensuring 95% of authors get a standard paper (~8K words) free of charges.

Combining twin approaches of dam/weir removal with restoring river flood plain connectivity brings confirmed biodiversity & hydrological benefits
@jmbecologist.bsky.social is right that they primarily mitigate climate impacts, and tackling emissions is key, so let’s do both!

2nd gen anticoagulant rodenticides enable highly effective rat eradications on isolated islands, planned & delivered precisely
In the public domain, however, liberal use causes avoidable secondary poisoning of predators
Why not control their use!?

Restoring California's Klamath River with Chuck Bonham
Podcast Episode · Rewilding the World with Ben Goldsmith · 15/01/2025 · 38m
What a great podcast - Ben Goldsmith’s insightful conversation with Chuck Bonham about decades-long processes to restore the Klamath River by dam removal
Truly inspiring, a story told with humility & emotion about the power of rewilding, and nature’s capacity for recovery

Yes, feral cats and foxes really have driven many Australian mammals to extinction
Decades of evidence link foxes and feral cats with extinctions of Australian mammals. Claims these introduced predators aren’t responsible don’t stack up.
Tragically, Australia is world leader in mammal extinctions. ~40 species went extinct in the 238 years since European colonisation
Of invasive predators feral cats & foxes had appalling impacts
Until eradication is feasible, creating predator-free ‘islands’ is key

Good News for Coyote Valley Wildlife - Protect Coyote Valley
Coyote Valley is a critical wildlife corridor for species to migrate between the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Diablo Range. That’s why we’re encouraged by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authori...
Restoring connectivity disrupted by linear infrastructure including roads, railway lines, dams, + fences of all types is key to rewilding
Good to see new practical projects (bridges / underpasses) to reconnect habitat, reduce collisions, and enable migration developing

Cats kill millions of birds, bats, lizards and other native animals a year, HBRC says
But other native animals such as bats, lizards, and invertebrates, are also particularly vulnerable, Hawkes Bay Regional Council says.
Feral and domestic cats have an appalling and unacceptable impact on native wildlife, including in #NewZealand which faces impacts from many invasive species
Cats represent commonly the primary introduced predators
Cat control or eradication is difficult, expensive, and controversial, but vital 🌰

Dublin Bay’s oyster graveyard rises from dead in effort to restore rich ecosystem
Pioneering scheme hopes species that thrived for thousands of years in Irish waters can do so again
Oyster bed recovery 🦪 is gathering momentum!

Bringing back Scotland's ancient pine forests - BBC News
Conservationists are working to restore the Caledonian pine forest to boost the country's bio-diversity.
Unsurprisingly, native forests sustain the greatest diversity of native species.
Scots Pine the backbone of original Caledonian forests are being restored across #Scotland from remnant, but good recovery is linked to active deer 🦌 control in the absence of predators…

Highland and Moray locals to be asked for views on lynx reintroduction - BBC News
Campaigners say the region offers good habitat for the species, but farmers and crofters have raised concerns.
Finally common sense appears to be breaking out…
Public consultation is opening in #Scotland on attitudes to the possible (and valuable) reintroduction of #lynx to build understanding of the current social carrying capacity…
Exciting times!

A half-planet-size gap in global governance is about to get plugged
A new treaty offers hope of curbing the destruction of the oceans
It's taken a very long time and much remains to be done, but we should cheer the coming into force of the UN's High Seas Treaty which will, for the first time, allow Marine Protected Areas to be created beyond areas of national jurisdiction 🐳

The climate crisis doesn’t belong to one group, sector, or nation.
When we move beyond “us vs. them” thinking, we make space for collaboration, shared responsibility, and solutions that benefit everyone.

Nature is incredibly resilient, when given the space to breathe and recover…
In this case by removing domestic grazers and/or excessively high densities of deer without native predators.
Landscape scale rewilding is proven in #Scotland, by government, NGOs, and landowners.

The psychological value is greater than ecological value, but familiarity should benefit wider popular support for larger efforts.
Why should city residents miss out on nature?
What’s the harm with qualifying the term - Urban / Upland / Coastal / Large-scale rewilding all seem legitimate to me?

Sadiq Khan: I want to rewild London. First stop — storks in Dagenham (yes, really)
White storks are coming back to London for the first time in 600 years
Undoubtedly large scale rewilding projects create most ecological value, but urban rewilding is unparalleled in reaching people deprived of nature.
Inspiring actions match the strong commitment of @london.gov.uk bring well-being benefits and raise the city’s bar of ambition.

Every piece of habitat restored and rewilded has value, but freshwater ponds are especially valuable.
Great work by @froglife.bsky.social volunteers to restore nature around ponds can add significant benefits.
