L'examen de la proposition de loi visant à renforcer le dispositif d'évacuation d'un terrain en cas d'installation illicite par des gens du voyage a tourné court, jeudi, dans l'hémicycle de l'Assemblée. Dès sa prise de parole, à 21 h 45, le député Xavier Albertini a annoncé le retrait de son texte. ❌

Koala habitat

"A lone koala walking through a three-lane tunnel, right in the path of a semi-trailer. The image is a grim sign of the times as Australia’s koala habitat continues to be destroyed. "

"We're moving into their habitat and their corridors, and they're being forced into suburbia... A lot of them are being hit by cars and there are a lot of dog attacks."

"Koalas are listed as endangered across NSW, ACT and Queensland."

Wakes up from post-renaturing siesta before 11pm.
Came home with a clump of yarrow liberated by our 'weeding' at the base of the bee mound. It''s destined for a small patch of semi-arid substrate recently created in between some of the pre-cast concrete sections scattered at the back of the #allotment.

Koala filmed drinking on a rural road had to be euthanised

"Koalas that come down to the ground to seek out water are typically suffering from bad health issues. The iconic animal was recently spotted by a driver hovering over the ground and using its tongue to lick moisture off the bitumen."

“It really shows that we have a unique place in #Michigan where someone has a chance to see a #wolf, a #moose & a #cougar in the #wild. It’s something that should be celebrated, that we have the #habitat to support an elusive animal like this,”Roell said.

The cubs were spotted & photographed without their mother. #CougarCubs are highly dependent on their mothers, often staying with them for the first two years of life.

🌿 I want ecosystems to be our priority. I want vast areas of grassland & forests to be reclaimed for indigenous species here in Southern Alberta. New research from @UMich shows that large #conservation areas are more effective than small ones at preserving species & #ecosystems. Scaling up habitat protection helps maintain genetic diversity & #climate resilience. As #habitat loss accelerates, expanding protected areas is key to safeguarding #nature.

My first @peertube video!

A short recording in slow-motion of the activity of a nesting aggregation of ground-nesting bees, Colletes thoracicus, the Rufous-backed Cellophane Bee, along my driveway at the end of April 2024. I have been monitoring and observing this population since 2008.

Entendre la volonté des habitant·es d’habiter autrement

La rencontre d’acteur et d’actrices de l’#habitat, d’habitant·es des #quartiers populaires, de membres de la Coordination Pas sans Nous et d’Habitat #Participatif France, a permis d’initier une réflexion commune sur d’autres manières d’habiter.

Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit

“A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.”

Who needs a giant asteroid when we have these assholes?

#Butterflies in the #US are disappearing at a ‘catastrophic’ rate
Butterflies are rapidly fluttering out of existence from coast to coast at a rate that scientists worry could upend #ecosystems & undercut #pollination that sustains America’s #crops.
The total number of butterflies in the contiguous US has declined 22% over a 20yr period, as shrinking #habitat, rising #temperatures & a #toxic array of #pesticides kill off the delicate insects.

The fact that this hawk was perched in a eucalyptus tree is interesting, since these trees are not native to California but have become a common sight throughout the state. In fact, some people have raised concerns about the impact of eucalyptus trees on local ecosystems, since they can crowd out native plants and animals. But it seems like this particular hawk has found a way to make the most of it!

Recently Hill Wood Pasture has been identified as an important historic farmed habitat. In the Cheviots there would have been Juniper on the higher ground, then Ash/Birch lower down and finally Alder in the valley floor. Here's one of the few surviving Northumbrian examples, some Juniper on the hill and Alder in the valley floor. Cattle would've grazed the pasture around these trees, protected from the worst of the weather.

Hi #sciencemastadon, just migrated to social.edu.nl. A re-introduction: I'm a researcher working at Wageningen University and Research (#wur), studying the #ecology of #marinemammals (mostly #seals) in the Netherlands or #arctic, analysing #spatial distribution and #habitat selection based on #wildlife #tracking or #drone/ #uav/ #satellite data using #rstats

Also interested in human #behavioural ecology and alternative economic systems like #degrowth/ #postgrowth

The snakes belong here

"Years-long research project finds snakes become 'very disoriented', lose weight and get sick when relocated.The snakes belong here. They have always been here and it's us humans coming in needing to learn how to live better with snakes."
