Why is biodiversity collapsing globally, but thriving on Indigenous lands? 🌱🧪
Botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer points to a striking pattern in global biodiversity reports: Indigenous territories are defying the widespread ecological decline.

Instead, she invites us to see the natural world as a gift, something to care for and not control. This mindset shift, grounded in both Indigenous science and environmental ethics, fosters a sense of moral responsibility toward all living systems.

What if the Earth isn’t something we own, but something we owe? 🌏
Robin Wall Kimmerer, renowned botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, explores how the dominant view of the Earth as property has led to ecological harm.

Limonium narbonense can tolerate salty conditions by pushing excess salt out its’ leaves. This allows it to inhabit environments many other plants are unable to. I absolutely love this plants’ way of tolerating harsh conditions by creating little salt crystals!

Late / still bloomer update from my balcony. Please don’t overlook the matching colors of my shoes and sweater with the flowers 😌✨ so glad I get to live with these wonderful plants!

Old books sometimes get a strange "vanilla" smell... 🤔👃
That scent comes from the breakdown of paper and ink — releasing hundreds of volatile organic compounds, including vanillin, aldehydes, and acids.
So that cozy library smell? It’s literally the odor of books slowly decaying...📚

Very important paper and resource. Bryophyte genomes expanded by one order of magnitude. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Bryophytes hold a larger gene family space than vascular plants - Nature Genetics
A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than vascular plants.

Work with seagrass? 🌱
We're often asked by the public: “What can I do to reduce seagrass loss?”
We’re running a survey to identify the everyday actions people can take to support seagrass conservation and we’d love your insights!
