The #GlobalWetlandOutlook2025 by Convention on Wetlands is available!

Wetlands are vanishing, along with the life they sustain. 🌱

Cover image for "Global Wetland Outlook 2025" report by Ramsar. The image shows a silhouette of a person in a conical hat carrying rice seedlings on a pole across their shoulders, walking through a misty wetland landscape. The person's reflection is visible in turquoise water below. The Ramsar logo appears at bottom left, with subtitle "Valuing, conserving, restoring and financing wetlands" beneath. The atmospheric image captures traditional agricultural practices in wetland environments, with a soft, ethereal quality created by morning mist and diffused light.

Was machen die Worte von Friedrich Merz zum „Stadtbild“ mit schwarzen Polizisten, muslimischen Soldatinnen und mit Professoren, deren Eltern als Gastarbeiter nach Deutschland kamen?

Värttinä tekee näyttävää paluuta Euroopan estradeille – uusi levy nousi maailmanmusiikkilistojen kärkeen
Värttinä on kotimaisen kansanmusiikin kivijalka ja kansainvälisesti tunnetuimpia yhtyeitämme. Uusi albumi kerää kiitosta ulkomailla, mutta Suomessa se jäi vähälle huomiolle.

Just being disappointed by RFK. I am watching for a YouTube video about his scientific thought for teaching about what is fake science. Nothing usable, all videos seem to be too confuse to be of use.

Vor kurzem mit einem Zeltaufsteller für Dorffeste gesprochen. Er sagte, es ist zu heiß. Die Leute saufen gar nicht mehr richtig. Unsere Kultur ist durch die Klimakatastrophe bedroht. Wo ist Markus Söder, der jetzt Alarm schlägt um das Biersaufen und unsere Tradition zu retten? Was ist los #Union?

DESPICABLE: Japanese car manufacturer Mazda has returned to the Russian market after pulling out in 2022.

An artist once told me that like scientists artists research the world. But they use art. If art was science Salgado deserved a Nobel price in economy. He will be missed.

I will fully support any initiatives to encourage #Havard to move to #Joensuu, Finland. We, in North Karelia, have space to build a new Campus and a top University to assist in the transition.

A view on science over the last decades from an insider.

www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
What I’ve learned after 40 years as the Observer’s science editor
Almost as amazing as the knowledge we have gained in the past four decades is the fact that some people continue to deny the damage we are doing to our world

This is a terrible idea on so many levels.

NOAA provides a lot of important research and services to ensure our planet remains livable into the future.

This is so shortsighted.
