This seeb is SPECTACULAR! #BlueJay

Brazilian singer Taty Girl made headlines during a live concert by canceling a fireworks display to protect a homeless dog. While performing, she spotted a stray dog. She addressed the audience, “We won’t use fireworks because Caramelo doesn’t like them. He’s enjoying the show peacefully.

A hydroelectric dam in the Brazilian Amazon not only wiped out a megadiverse ecosystem (including 7 endemic species), it emits 10x more greenhouse gases per megawatt than a thermal power plant. When so-called 'green' energy turns out to be the *exact* opposite. news.mongabay.com/2025/02/ende...

Acoustics professionals (independent ones) recommend substantial setbacks between wind turbines and homes, as in this 2010 paper recommending 1.5 to 2 MILES for safety. Ottawa? We're not going to consider health in our zoning regs. New ones due soon. #noise @ottawacity.bsky.social

Amidst the ashes, pangolins rebuild. A recent study underscores what is at stake when pangolins disappear from an ecosystem: resilience. Pangolins play a vital role in ecological recovery, particularly in landscapes ravaged by fire. news.mongabay.com/2025/02/pang...

A devoted, loyal bond between a Fox and a Dog. This orphaned wild Japanese Fox has been with the Dog and her caretaker since she was a kit. Despite having her own kits now, she never once left the Dog's side when the Dog grew sick, right until the very end. 💔

Dead trees matter. @tomdigby1.bsky.social @laura-christensen.bsky.social Stanley Park Ecology Society signs on the importance of wildlife trees. Up to half of BC's birds and mammals depend on them for survival yet you are cutting them down. And many of these hemlocks could regenerate.

Is this any way to treat Stanley Park, Vancouver's jewel? Why are the City of Vancouver and the Park Board destroying the forest floor with heavy machinery? Stop logging Stanley Park! @thetyee.ca @thenarwhal.ca @georgiastraight.bsky.social
