When the Oxford children's dictionary discarded dozens of nature-words—"dandelion," "fern," "starling"—as irrelevant to children's imagination and replaced them with words like "broadband" and "cut-and-paste," this inspired act of resistance was born: https://www.themarginalian.org/2019/06/17/the-l…

“An estimated trillion insects are farmed per year; quadrillions are killed by pesticides, and many species have gone extinct as humans have cleared habitats for farms, factories, and cities. Most of us do not think much about their inner lives…”

This is quite old now, but fascinating on the deep embodied knowledge of biodiversity possessed by small-scale, non-intensive livestock farmers in Romania (and on the horrors of EU agricultural policy). youtu.be/rwHXEfkJ5HA?...

Es erschöpft sich zu viel im täglichen Alarmismus. Es sind dagegen viel zu wenige, die über das private Umfeld hinaus konkrete Maßnahmen anstoßen, am besten gleich in Verbindung mit dem Schutz der Biodiversität: z.B. Moor- und Auenrenaturierung, UMWELTVERTRÄGLICHER Ausbau Erneuerbarer.

Reintroducing reindeer is only one part of this #rewilding effort. The connection between biodiversity, culture & language is often overlooked — but this project rejuvenates the culture around reindeer, restoring meaning and connection to the land, making it more likely people will protect it.

As we approach Midwinter, here's The Black Stag from the cave of Lascaux. Considered to be either a creature of Ice Age myth, or a rendering of an extinct Megaloceros. Deep in the ground it was drawn above geometric symbols, including 13 circles, the meaning of which is now lost. #AncientSky 🌙🦌🦣🏺

Far Right doing badly in Irish Election, despite massive promotion*. Really useful indication of where the far right are, in terms of % of the first preference in the boxes opened, per constituency. Ireland is bucking the trend of European countries turning to far right.

Corn bunting. The last species to have gone extinct in Ireland. It happened in my lifetime. Ring ouzel looks set to be next. With 63% of Ireland’s birds either red or amber listed, we seriously need to change our ways or there will be many more.

“What happens if we don’t accept this?” – if we dissect it to see its origins and impacts, or if we reject it, if we lift it off like some burden we don’t have to carry, some outfit we don’t have to wear? What happens is we get free."
