"Nous pourrons compter le nbre d’oiseaux tués, ce qui nous permettra ensuite de mieux adapter le nbre de prélèvements", insiste le cabinet de la ministre.

Et si on proposait aussi que l'on abatte tous les arbres des forets pour avoir un inventaire juste.

@cnrsecologie.bsky.social regrette profondément l'adoption de cette loi à la vision court-termiste & ses conséquences graves sur l’environnement, qui méprise santé & bien-être de la population & le rôle des espèces sauvages dans la prod. agricole. La communauté scientifique n'a pas été entendue.
Le Parlement a définitivement adopté mardi la proposition de loi agricole Duplomb-Menonville, comprenant entre autres une mesure décriée de réintroduction sous conditions d'un pesticide néonicotinoïde, et présentée comme une réponse à la colère agricole de 2024.

Visez un peu le niveau de cet "éminent" député RN.

Si son parti avait la majorité, monsieur Jacobelli serait ministre.

Mais qui a envie de confier le pouvoir à un homme de 55 ans qui fait les mêmes blagues pas drôles qu'un ado qui en a 40 de moins ?

Cette lourdeur au secours... 🫠

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

Hi #econsky and conservation friends, if you need a hopeful story, the RCT we completed in eastern DRC might be for you. It is about a viable path to clean (electric) cooking, human development, and the protection of endangered wildlife, including mountain gorillas 🧵🧪 tinyurl.com/4jccmcaw

It doesn’t feel good to criticize other’s work: but this is how science advances. In Nature today we respond to a high-profile paper (by Jedediah Brodie & colleagues) about the impact of protected areas on wildlife in southeast Asia.
