Not new concepts but good mention of some of the important links between Indigenous-language revitalisation and Indigenous-led conservation and Indigenous sciences:
knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...
Indigenous languages are founts of environmental knowledge
Peoples who live close to nature have a rich lore of plants, animals and landscapes embedded in their mother tongues — which may hold vital clues to protecting biodiversity

We used to think this species had a VERY disjunct distribution (in the far east and far west of Eurasia), but now the Iberian Magpie has been separated from the Azure-winged Magpie, the two species remaining in a genus of their own.

Artuso Sharing a few more beautiful South Korean birds, this being the skulking Asian Stubtail from the Scotocercidae (bush-warbler family). The whole family is generally secretive but with a lot of character. They are found across the Afro-Asiatic tropics, extending a little into the termperate zones, with the Asian Stubtail being one of the northernmost family members. There are several nearly tailless family members (e.g. generera Urosphena, Tesia and the Neumann’s Warbler) who move through the dense understorey with impressive ease.
