The Dutch Grassland Butterfly indicator (www.clo.nl/indicatoren/...) shows a decline of more than 70%. It will be hard to achieve an increasing trend in 2030, as required in art 11 in the Nature Restoration Regulation (eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten...).

Seisan Eesti metsa ja metsaelanike eest ning toetan raiemahu vähendamist. Vaata lähemalt ja genereeri endale raamiga profiilifoto: raiemaht.ee

Raiemaht.ee - Eesti mets hääbub üleraie tõttu meie silme all
Raiemahtu peab vähendama kohe, et pidurdada metsaelustiku kadumist ning anda võimalus metsa majandada ka tulevastele põlvedele.

Kui Eesti200 selline plaan on, siis see on üks tõeliselt pöörane plaan.

Kulude kokkuhoidu ja lisapanust riigikaitsesse tasub otsida valdkondadest, mis on võrreldes majandusega ebaproportsionaalselt kasvanud, mitte neist, mis semudele tülikad.

Notice how this peaceful choir protest gets no media attention, compared to tomato soup thrown onto glass covering a Van Gogh (the art destroying glass was never even approved by the artist yet is assumed by “centrists” to be holy).
Breaking: 200-strong Climate Choir stages flashmob in St Paul's Cathedral, demanding that @churchofengland.org - a top ten UK landowner - #rewild 30% of its land.

Nature is in crisis. Time to #RewildTheChurch!

Congratulations to our @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social for publishing this important new book on the history of how a few giant firms came to dominate the farm sector today!

If you care about how we got here, and the future of food, this is a must-read.
Today is publication day! I explain how agricultural inputs - which weren't even widely traded market goods 200 years ago - have become giant industries dominated by just a handful of transnational firms today.

Many thanks to those who helped me along the way!

A new report exposes dairy giant Arla's dubious #Dairytales:

❌ No methane reduction targets despite it making up 43% of farm emissions
❌ Only 1 out of 9 relevant UN net zero guidelines fully met
❌ Lobbying against dairy alternatives

Eliisa Pass: "Kuna metsaseadust on aastaid lõdvendatud ja selle tulemusena on metsa raiutud rohkem kui juurde kasvab, saab lühikese aja jooksul asendada suure tervikliku metsamaastiku lageraiete ja noorendikega, mis tähendab, et kvaliteetset aeglasekasvulist puidu saamine on lähitulevikus võimatu."

Mul oli au eelmisel kevadel Anna Helena Liivi väga head magistritööd oponeerida, soovitan lugeda Müürilehe KAJAKu kolumnist, mida ta uuris: www.muurileht.ee/eesti-keskko...
Eesti keskkonnaliikumiste unustatud peatükk | Müürileht
Eesti looduskaitseliikumiste ajaloo alguspunktiks pole fosforiidisõda. Siinmail hakati looduskaitsega tegelema samal ajal kui mujalgi maailmas. Seejuures oldi hästi kursis rahvusvaheliste arengutega j...

My many new followers may have missed the news that I defended my PhD a few months ago. Under the title “Mediatization of scientists: process, indicators, impact”, I explored the changing interaction patterns of scientists and journalists in #scicomm.

Need maad võib riike endale tagasi osta küll, aga:

a) neid ei tohi kasutada õigustuseks tõsta RMK raiemahtu. Nii RMK kui Südra maad on üle majandatud ja vajavad puhkust.

b) rehkendus, et kui palju riik nende eest esmalt müües sai ja siis rüüstatult tagasi ostes pidi maksm, on vajalik õppetund.
Alenderi hinnangul võiks RMK kaaluda Södra maade ostmist
Kliimaminister Yoko Alendri arvates võiks riigimetsa majandamise keskus (RMK) osaleda Eestis oma kinnistuid müüva Rootsi metsanduskontserni Södra maade ostmisel. RMK ei soovi sellel teemal spekuleerid...
