Vt. sees record-breaking heat in 2024

A Biodiversity Solution Might Be Hiding in Plain Sight.
We tend to look at environmental problems in isolation. A holistic approach would be more effective, a new report says.
Facing complex issues like declining biodiversity means integrating diverse viewpoints & variables.
@taylorhricketts.bsky.social & colleagues from across the world collaborated on the @ipbes.bsky.social report to address these issues.
