Habitat loss is the greatest threat to biodiversity. There are zero examples of a species rebounding after losing its habitat. None. Nada.

Experts thrilled after iconic predator species makes promising comeback: 'A dramatic example of what is possible'
"With focused attention on other species of greatest conservation need, future recovery success stories are also possible."

Consumerism is one of the underlying issues responsible for climate and biodiversity crises. Can we stop "celebrating" Black Friday, and do a White Friday (in honour of polar and montane wildlife) instead? A "buy nothing" day - or maybe week, month or more? Who's with me?

Text: Rampant consumerism is burning up the Planet! -threatening wildlife, pushing arctic and mountain animals to narrower, ever higher latitudes and altitudes. White Friday - Buy nothing day! Images show white animals, including polar bear, snowy owl, beluga whale and stoat.

There’s a chance we could be at 3C by mid century.

This news would lead to global cooperation in rapidly shifting to a degrowth economy & widespread adaptation, if only our politics, our lives & our values weren’t 100% owned by those knowingly profiting from our imminent demise.

"If the 15-year warming trend leading up to then continued [non-linearly!], global warming would reach 3°C by December 2045"

I don't regard this as a likely scenario.

But not as an impossible scenario either..

I just got spam from a breeder asking if I'm interested in buying a "minuet" cat - a hybrid with the flattened skull of modern Persians and the shortened legs of Munchkins.

Am I interested in supporting your business model of breeding deformed, unhealthy kittens for profit? Hmmm let me think... 🤔

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology
a cartoon with two panels panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there" The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.
Illustrated image divided into four panels, each showing a head of a bat with a text label. Top left: little guy, a regular looking back with a dark face and light colored fur, top right: little guy deluxe, a bat with a mask and large ears alongside a bat with a leaf shaped nose, bottom left: what is even going on here, a visored bat with a large forehead next to a bat with a large, wrinkly nose, bottom right: o hi doggie, a fruit bat with its tongue sticking out.

Pollution that isn’t immediately fatal stresses the health and fitness of complex organisms to an extent that leaves them more susceptible to diseases, predators or environmental pressures - by causing genetic and reproductive damage, impairing their chance of survival.

California's mountain lions have become increasingly nocturnal so as to avoid interactions with humans, according to new research. The change offers a hopeful example of the coexistence of wildlife and humans in a large, densely populated area.

to be loved is to be changed
Fishtopher, a brown and black striped tabby cat. He lays in the shelter next to a chrome bowl. His large head is hung low to the floor of the kennel, as he looks up with sad green eyes and very large, round cheeks. His ears are slightly down and his mouth looks small and almost like a frown. He protects his body with his round tail in a very sad, closed off manner. Fishtopher, a brown and black striped tabby cat, now in his forever home. He stands up and leans against the couch but the lower half of his body is blocked by the camera person's leg. He looks slightly upward with large, sparkling green eyes. His ears are pointed up and forward and his mouth is almost in a wide smile. His pink nose is a much brighter pink now, and his large cheeks are still large, but smaller in comparison.
