Lovely photo! It’s wonderful to see our culture through your lens. The devotion of these musicians is what makes the Maligawa so magical. Hope you enjoyed your time in Kandy! 🇱🇰

In Sri Lanka, we call them 'Jil Bola.' I had a full bowl of them. We played a game every evening with a few of my friends. The thing is, I was the one who was always defeated!😂

Working on strategic planning for conservation, precarity in protection & repair efforts has long been a concern in our ⬆️ly climate-impacted world

Not surprising but still devastating to learn that 55 conservation covenants & ~100 Land for Wildlife properties have been impacted in Vic bushfires
Screenshot of a Trust for Nature post on LinkedIn Sadly, we have now learned that 55 conservation covenants - as well as around 100 Land for Wildlife properties - have been affected by the Victorian bushfires this month. One of the landholders impacted is Fiona Murdoch from Raakajlim - Mallee conservation. On 9 January, fire swept through 160 hectares of Fiona's 500-hectare conservation covenant southeast of Mildura. "Some of the habitat that burned isn't naturally resilient to fire. We've got trees hundreds of years old that have burned. It's irreplaceable," Fiona told us. Fiona and her family have dedicated more than 20 years to restoring this landscape, building a 13 km electric fence to keep pests out, replanting native vegetation, and protecting habitat for threatened wildlife. The fires damaged the fence, destroyed 53 hectares of revegetation, and burnt critical habitat for the endangered Mallee Bronze Azure Butterfly. Unfortunately, Fiona's story is one of many. Donations to our Bushfire Recovery Appeal will directly support landholders like Fiona to restore habitat, repair fences and protect surviving wildlife. Please, if you can, make a donation to help nature and the people who care for it: https://Inkd.in/gAi4f4qi Photos: Raakajlim - Mallee conservation Image on the left shows a sparsely-treed landscape with scant mid/under-storey Image on the right shows a landscape with completely burnt, blackened sparse vegetation

Notice how she uses her tail feathers to brace herself. All woodpeckers do this, their tail feathers are much stiffer for this function. Female northern flicker.

Twin births have risen sharply since the 1980s 📈

Here’s how the share of twin births has changed over time.

Find out more with @ourworldindata.org ⬇️ #TwinsDay
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/rate-of-twin-deliveries
The chart titled "Share of births that are twins" displays the percentage of twin births over time, spanning from 1858 to 2021. The vertical axis represents the share of births that are twins, ranging from 0% to 2%. There are five colored lines, each representing a different country: the United States, France, Canada, Australia, and England and Wales. Throughout the years, the percentage of twin births shows a noticeable increase in each of the countries shown, particularly from the 1980s. A note on the chart indicates that delayed childbearing, alongside technologies such as IVF, has contributed to this rise in twin births. The data for this chart is sourced from the Human Multiple Births Database in 2024. The chart is credited under a Creative Commons BY license, and is published by Our World in Data.
