A glimpse of fall from the Romanian Carpathians, where Gabri Retez is studying how European bison contribute to seed dispersal. The study is funded by National Geographic Society.

This #IDAFLW, let’s not forget: healthy & sustainable diets are not only about what we eat but also about preventing food waste. 🌍
Choosing local and seasonal foods helps on both fronts by cutting emissions and reducing waste, contributing to more resilient food systems. 🍎🥦

GOOD NEWS: The ozone layer is on track for full recovery by 2050, the UN reports.
This is proof that when world leaders listen to scientists, and take swift action, we can literally HEAL our planet.
So if we fixed the ozone hole, why can't we do the same for climate change?
