Many birds with young migrated through Chicago last night.

At least 100 were found dead in downtown Chicago this morning-& it’s only the beginning. Many bird strikes go unreported.

Keep lights out 11pm-6am to prevent bird deaths

“persecution of porcupines took place in the last century when they were clubbed to death, poisoned & trapped. Basically, it was a war on porcupines, because of this reputation they have as tree damagers..not popular with the timber industry, orchardists, or dog owners” www.opb.org/article/2024...

Having been burnt by tariffs twice, American farmers and Chinese buyers will probably seek to reduce their mutual dependence. That is a boon for soyabean farmers in Brazil
American soya farmers are miserable. Brazil’s are ebullient

Do raptor decals on windows decrease bird collisions? Unfortunately, #birds avoid decals and still hit windows. Watch as researchers use a flight tunnel to test which decal patterns reduce deadly bird strikes. No birds harmed (video by @cornellbirds.bsky.social): www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Qz.... 🌎

Every year, more than 1 billion #birds die in North America from collisions with glass. Those deaths are preventable with proven solutions such as glass treament, building design, landscaping and lighting, and community involvement. Learn more: www.stopbirdcollisions.org? 🌎
Stop Bird Collisions
Birds flying into windows, railings, balusters, and other structures made from glass is a leading cause of global bird loss.

"Today as we witness the aftermath of a millennia-long relentless ecological, environmental and climate holocaust, some still choose to call this disaster a “civilisation”. As a biologist, I prefer to refer to it by its scientific term: a quickly escalating pest infestation."

sage grouse's population declines are mostly being caused by degradation of sagebrush habitat. there are more perches for raptors, fences, transmission lines, roads-but also energy & livestock industries have done everything in their power to keep them from being listed endangered

What frightens me most about Halloween cobwebs isn’t how they look…..it’s that they catch the living.
Enjoy the season, but keep the plastic webs indoors; or skip them altogether.

The IUCN calls the extinction crisis a mix of “hope and concern.” But hope thrives in the absence of honesty. Humanity would rather lie to itself about endless growth than face the limits of a finite planet.

Many conservationists have been taken in by the fraudulent Holistic Management scheme of the Savory Institute. The Nature Conservancy joins the duped, and Lyle Lewis gives in depth analysis.

A growing number of scientists are backing laws recognizing that nature has inherent rights and intrinsic value. A group of wetlands scientists wants the critical ecosystems they study to be next.

If you think biodiversity loss is irrelevant to you...
If you think it's not that big an issue...
If you think it doesn't really affect you personally...
If you think it's someone else's problem...

To say she was a bust for endangered species is charitable

Imperiled plants & animals continue to pay the price of her incompetent cronies & too many self-entitled USWS leaders
