In Her Final Interview, Jane Goodall Issues Urgent Call to Protect the Planet

In her last interview before she died, Jane Goodall issued an urgent call to safeguard the Earth, warning that "humans are not exempt from extinction.”

Good morning. Today in "One day, one paper", tropical deforestation from 2001–2020 caused 0.27 °C local warming, exposing 345 million people and leading to 28,000 annual heat-related deaths. Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Americas are most affected, highlighting climate-linked health risks 🌎

Seed dispersal disruption limits tropical forest regrowth | PNAS Identifying linkages between biodiversity loss and climate change is required for understanding the scope of these interconnected challenges and de...

Our new study shows how animal biodiversity loss is a climate problem: tropical forests recover far less carbon where seed dispersers have declined.

We’re not just losing forests – we’re losing their ability to regrow.

Reversing that trend could align biodiversity recovery with climate solutions.🧵

Despite is wide use, #ForestDegradation has many different interpretations. At @fao.org we have started working with member countries & partners to develop an international definition of the term to advance its understanding at a global scale!

Las imágenes de flores dentro de cada tipo de hábitat representan especies invasoras comunes (izquierda) y nativas (derecha) que ocurren en dichos hábitats. Los colores rojo y azul representan la fenología de la floración de las especies invasoras y nativas, respectivamente.

Without vultures, carcasses are slow to rot and disease-carrying flies abound “Absolutely disgusting, so grim, the worst fieldwork of my life, but also extremely rewarding in a very odd way,” said Julia Grootaers, describing her three months collecting data among rotting pig…

Researchers in Costa Rica found that pig carcasses decomposed twice as fast when vultures had access to them.

The absence of vultures led to a doubling of fly populations at carcass sites, which could affect human health, since these flies can carry diseases like botulism and anthrax.
