#ecogrief
We take them for granted because we've seen them since our earliest days; elephants, giraffes, gorillas, lions, kangaroos, you name it. Take a moment now and dwell on their beauty, their uniqueness, and their rights to have long and healthy lives. How do we not believe in that? EcoGrief #014

It was lovely to talk about how we manage ecogrief in @adriftlab.bsky.social at Avian Odyssey today. Some really interesting questions and lots of positive comments, which goes a long way to keeping us going!

Climate change is taking a silent toll—on our mental health. Youth in particular face climate grief, anxiety, and fear for the future. We’re not alone, as community, action, and connection can build resilience.

We inherit a planet in decline. Future generations face a world stripped bare by our choices. What will we leave behind? 😔 #EcoGrief #Sustainability #ClimateAction #FutureOfEarth

Neal came into the field with us and witnessed the sampling process for our latest paper. His feature does an incredible job at bringing the human to our work. Encapsulating ecogrief and implications beyond.

Mermaid tears - what an appropriate expression! This form of #plastic pollution makes marine life (and biologists) certainly weep as it is almost impossible to retrieve and will persist for much longer than other pollutants, e.g. oil spills!
#TiredEarth #microplastic #ecogrief
#Plastic pollution from cargo ships is a serious threat as shown by recent 'incidents' in the news incl. this spill off Galicia,the X-Press Pearl off Sri Lanka (2021) & the MSC Zoe in the North Sea (2019). We need to tackle this in the new #PlasticsTreaty!

Millions of toxic "mermaid tears" engulf coastline and threaten wildlife
These pellets can leach polluting chemicals and bacteria, which can be harmful to marine animals that end up eating them.

Been awhile. Sometimes NightCafe doesn't deliver so I don't post. Even this one doesn't really convey the horror. Perhaps look at is as the sunsetting on once pristine lands.

Many #scientists definitely not ok, we are #FrontLine workers #ecogrief
This is so real. I’ve reported on this over the years in many forms. Coral reef scientists. Conservationists caring for endlings. Public health workers in the pandemic. Journalists covering all the above. The people bearing witness are not okay.
One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.
