With every extinction, we lose not just a species but a treasure trove of knowledge
Every new extinction ripples out beyond the affected species, from ecosystems to human knowledge across culture, spirituality and science.

#BestOf2025, from Chilton Tippin: Many told me they would fight for their water to the very last drop. Others, however, have already begun asking the existential question: Where will we go when the river runs dry?
‘With What Water?’: Texas, Mexico, and the Disappearing Rio Conchos
Drought has hollowed out Chihuahua’s Conchos Valley and bred civil unrest as South Texas demands the water it’s owed.

Looking back over my non-bird photos this year and the Mount Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest stands out in my memory. It is at the top of Washington, close to the Canadian border.
Such a beautiful place and we had such perfect weather.
This is Mount Shuksan as seen from Picture Lake.

How do birds sense the magnetic field to navigate?
The research field is slowly coalescing around a quantum mechanics mechanism described in the thread below.

We know that birds can sense magnetic fields for navigation. But how does that work?
Do they have little magnets wired up to their brains?
The most likely answer is 1000X times weirder than that, and involves quantum spin.
Let's talk about 'cryptochromes' & magnetic sensing.🧪

Disaster after disaster: do we have enough raw materials to ‘build back better’?
Disasters like earthquakes and flood destroy homes and generate vast amounts of waste. Is there a better, greener way to rebuild affected communities?

The rivers of Hell Creek were more dangerous than we imagined
A T-rex tooth, mosasaur tooth, and crocodilian upper jaw were found together in Hell Creek, North Dakota
Hell Creek wasn’t an ocean 66 million years ago but a river floodplain
How did mosasaur end up here?

France has confirmed that captive orcas Wikie and Keijo will be moved to a seaside sanctuary in Nova Scotia 🥳
After months of reviews, the government has ruled out transfers to other marine parks and says keeping them in concrete tanks is no longer acceptable.
