The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...

Number of wild bee species at risk of extinction in Europe doubles in 10 years Number of endangered butterfly species also surging amid habitat destruction and global heating, finds study The number of wild bee species in Europe at risk of extinction has more than doubled over the past decade, while the number of endangered butterfly species has almost doubled. The jeopardy facing crucial pollinators was revealed by scientific studies for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list of threatened species, which found that at least 172 bee species out of 1,928 were at risk of extinction in Europe.

Early detection of plant community responses to climate warming along mountain roads

🏔️Plant communities along Swiss mountain roads are warming: species are shifting upslope, but low cover of gained and lost species masks the species turnover. Presence-only models reveal clear thermophilization signal in just 10 years🧪🌎

Two narratives ‘FOR’ and ‘SEPARATE-out of conviction’ we encountered almost exclusively in NL, and there we encountered them quite often. The remaining 4 we encountered in both the Dutch & Massif Central areas, in different proportions & with strong region-specific details

The 3rd Global Nyeleni Forum on Food Sovereignty is commencing in Kandy, Sri Lanka with around 600 delegates from 120 countries are participating to discuss solutions and priorities for the future of collective struggle for food sovereignty. ceylontoday.lk/2025/08/30/n...

In this paper doi.org/10.1002/pan3... we describe 6 narratives of the relationship between the way of farming and biodiversity

✅ We highlight the commonalities and differences we encountered across areas (NL v. F) and discuss how such insights can help foster more empathetic engagement with farmers
