Plastic pollution from fibre optic drones may threaten wildlife for years - CEOBS We explore the environmental risks associated with the use of drones using fibre optic cables to protect them from electronic warfare.

#Drones trailing up to 40km of plastic fibre optic cable are becoming increasingly common on the frontline in #Ukraine. Our new post takes a first look at the risks they pose to wildlife and the wider environment. ceobs.org/plastic-poll... #Україна #BeatPlasticPollution 1/5

A photograph of an upland landscape in northern England with text over it. Title reads: “Expert input needed for multi-taxa biodiversity research project across northern England’s uplands”. Subtitle reads: “Species, habitat or regional specialists please contact franky.rogers@uea.ac.uk”. Logos for the University of East Anglia, RSPB and ARIES DTP in the top right corner.

Do you have knowledge or expertise in taxonomic groups found in the UK’s uplands? I’m looking for naturalists to contribute to autecological analysis as part of a #biodiversity audit assessing impacts of land-use change across eight of northern England’s protected landscapes 1/4

I have created my first starter pack!!!! It focuses on movement ecology as a scientific discipline. If we reach 150 members I will create Movement Ecology II. go.bsky.app/F4ZLXcx
