🦇🇺🇦 Customized bat education: @batsukraine.bsky.social's followers ask what they've always wanted to know about bats, and the competent answer comes in form of a short video. Find out how to support Ukraine's iconic bat conservation organisation: batsukraine.org (available in 🇬🇧)

the issue is going to be sound and possibly smell - putting 'screamer whistles' on windmills to deter bats and birds, possibly some sort of odor dumped on the ground in a large radius as a deterrent? I have emailed researchers about this repeatedly but no reply!? #bats #birds

One of the four baby birdys on the front porch is yelling for room-service mommy to bring some more bugs. It’s like a hotel up in here

we can start by banning clearcutting and switching forest products to bamboo as quickly as possible - there's no reason not to save entrenched greed and laziness. #protectourforests #protectnaturecarboncapture

🚨 National wildlife refuges are on the precipice A 20% staff loss since January, looming layoffs, harmful budget cuts, & the politicization of civil service are converging into a crisis unlike any in the Refuge System’s 122-year history 📄 Full press release www.refugeassociation.org/press-releas...

🛑 Advocacy Alert: The Endangered Species Act is under threat. 🛑 🕒 The deadline is tonight. 👉 Submit your public comment before midnight: Take Action>> #RefugeStrong #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeRefuge #Advocacy

🛑 The Refuge System is facing a 22% budget cut in the President’s FY2026 proposal. Wildlife, habitat, and public access are all on the line. Speak up to protect America’s refuges: 🔗 act.refugeassociation.org/a/fy-26 #WildlifeRefuge #PublicLands #Conservation #Wildlife #RefugeStrong

🚨 Advocacy Alert: The Senate ENR Committee has tucked a land sell-off into the FY26 budget bill—up to 3 million acres of public lands gone. These wild places are managed by BLM & USFS—but if we let this happen, what’s next? Refuges? 🔗 act.refugeassociation.org/a/stop-senat... #PublicLands

These are not natural disasters. These are fossil-fuelled disasters, from decades of drilling and disinformation by oil and gas corporations. Now they must pay for the damage they have caused. Sign the Polluters Pay Pact ➡️ bit.ly/4kMi4e9 #MakePollutersPay #PollutersPayPact

World leaders flew into a country on FIRE - and are STILL letting the oil and gas corporations off the hook. The economic cost of extreme weather in 2024 was estimated at more than US$ 400 BILLION. It’s time to #MakePollutersPay 👇 act-int.greenpeace.org/polluters-pa...

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back

Kudos to whoever brought this into being. Climate change is hard concept for most people to absorb, and art & fiction is likely a better way to in to “making it real”.

New data from NASA 👇 This new study shows that such extreme events are becoming more frequent, longer-lasting and more severe, with last year’s figures reaching twice that of the 2003-2020 average. 🥵 😩 #ActOnClimate NOW www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I have just learned about the science behind the wings of a dragonfly on #BBCSpringwatch. This is one I captured two days ago. Thanks for interactions and more. Always appreciated and have a good night! 💚 #UKWildlife #Insects #Dragonfly #Photography

This report distills our findings on butterfly decline www.science.org/doi/full/10.... and describes actionable conservation urgently needed for butterfly recovery. @xercessociety.bsky.social State of the Butterflies in the United States xerces.org/publications...

Science continues to show that wolves and coyotes are highly sentient creatures, with an emotional capacity not unlike that of people. A good reason to treat them with respect, appreciation, compassion, and love. #StandForWolves www.thedodo.com/do-wolves-an...

unbelievable. #lousiana #tulanelawschool #canceralley #pollution #toxicemissions #neworleans

By relentlessly expanding fossil fuel development, #TotalEnergies continues to fuel climate breakdown and jeopardise our living conditions and future. Green-tinted rhetoric, rebranding and slick ad campaigns won’t change that. #greenwashing
