National Park Service staff are noticing ways that #ClimateChange is limiting recreation access and affecting visitor health and safety. Researchers spoke to 63 park staff at 31 #NationalParks to better understand how climate change is affecting visitor use at their parks. bit.ly/CCParks2025

A new systematic review of 1,550 studies examined how different green and blue spaces in cities support human health. The evidence shows a wide variety of positive health outcomes, including better physical and mental health and more physical activity.

Disgraceful

Disgraceful. Abdication of responsibility. The UK should be reducing the amount of plastic waste and processing what remains not dumping it overseas.
www.theguardian.com/environment/...

UK plastic waste exports to developing countries rose 84% in a year, data shows

Campaigners say increase in exports mostly to Malaysia and Indonesia is ‘unethical and irresponsible waste imperialism’

Climate change is reshaping fish communities in the United States | Nature

Rising temperatures and the introduction of non-native fishes have been linked to rapid changes in fish communities across the United States. Rising temperatures and the introduction of non-native fishes have been linked to rapid changes in fish communities across the United States.

"I had to work 10 times harder than the average man just to get the same level of recognition," Jane Goodall told us in 2020. "But once I had made a name for myself, I let the data speak for me."

Jane Goodall …. #RIP

Silvia Pineda-Munoz, PhD - Climate Ages @climateages.bsky.social · 6d

I’m in tears that we lost Jane Goodall.

Since childhood, she was my hero: a scientist who listened to nature.

She showed us that science is more than data. It’s empathy, connection, responsibility.

Thank you, Jane. You taught us how to care. 🌿
