It's incredible how many oil & gas licenses in the UK overlap with Marine 'Protected' Areas - you can explore this on our Watershed Pollution Map:

A Sublette County man asks the court to toss wolf cruelty charge. Prosecutor disagrees The man facing a felony animal cruelty charge for bringing a live, muzzled wolf into a bar after injuring it with a snowmobile is asking the court to dismiss his case.

🚨Cody Roberts, charged with felony animal cruelty for torturing a wolf, is now asking the court to dismiss his case.

Allowing this would send a dangerous message that extreme violence toward wildlife can be excused. Justice for wildlife depends on accountability.

No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge It’s past time for our politicians and political candidates to reject support from the fossil fuel industry and protect the health of our families, our climate, and our democracy.

It's already time to start thinking about the midterms because primaries are just around the corner!

Go check and see if your local candidates have signed the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge, and if they haven't, you can take action on the website to encourage them to sign it.

Farmland birds in steady decline across Scotland, new report finds A comprehensive report finds continued declines in Scotland's farmland birds, highlighting significant losses for Tree Sparrow, Grey Partridge and other priority species, and calling for strengthened ...

Our current agricultural system is choking birds out of existence + farmers out of business. The report identifies a need for:

- better agri-environment schemes to protect grass margin + fallow habitats
- engagement with farmers to support bird-friendly practices

This administration specializes in fearmongering, not facts.

The facts: 86% of trans youth report s*cidal ideation and 56% have attempted to end their lives. Anti trans laws increase attempts by ~72%. <1% report regretting GAC.

If they are trying to protect children, science says they are wrong.

An infographic showing the progression from underlying causes to environmental impacts across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. The diagram flows left to right through three main sections:

"UNDERLYING CAUSES" lists three core issues:

Disconnection from and domination over nature and people

Concentration of power and wealth

Prioritization of short-term, individual and material gains

"INDIRECT DRIVERS" includes four categories:

Demographic and sociocultural

Economic and technological

Institutions and governance

Conflicts and epidemics

"DIRECT DRIVERS" shows relative impact percentages across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments, represented by horizontal bars with color-coded segments for:

Land/sea use change (purple)

Direct exploitation (light purple)

Climate change (yellow)

Pollution (gray)

Invasive alien species (orange)

Others (light gray)

The right side features a circular illustration divided into terrestrial, freshwater, and marine zones with representative wildlife silhouettes.

🌏 Biodiversity loss has deep-rooted causes—from power imbalances to short-term priorities. These shape indirect & direct drivers like land/sea use change, exploitation & climate change.

Corals are disappearing, pushing Earth to its first major ‘tipping point’ A new report says Earth has reached a dire milestone with the widespread death of warm-water coral reefs. It's not too late to save what remains.

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

A paper in Nature suggests a quarter of heatwave events from 2000-23 would have been near impossible without anthropogenic climate change. The paper also indicates that major carbon emitters are responsible for around 50% of the increase in intensity of these events. ⚒️ 🧪

The Return of the Dire Wolf Colossal Biosciences has genetically engineered the first dire wolf to live in over 10,000 years. Here's what that means for other extinct species.

Colossal Biosciences has announced that they have "de-extincted" the dire wolf. This is not a dire wolf. It's a grey wolf with dire wolf-like characteristics, a "hybrid" (~19K genes, 20 changes in 14 genes) time.com/7274542/colo... 1/2 @smcnz.bsky.social
