You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences.
Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022.
The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.
Great case study on the importance of rewilding for halting/reversing local extinction and restoring ecosystems, as well as the complacency of shifting baseline syndrome. Well done @awconservancy and fellow rewilders! 👏🏻🌳 https://t.co/UHvi1v2xmu
It's official: #Estonia has legalised marriage equality. We join other Nordic nations with this historic decision.
I'm proud of my country. We're building a society where everyone’s rights are respected and people can love freely.
The decision will enter into force from 2024.
Nice progress piece on an urban rehabilitation and rewilding success story. Greater coordination should be a no brainer given potential benefits: ✅ green-blue open space; ✅ recreation; ✅ biodiversity and urban habitat; ✅ blue carbon; ✅ sense of community
Anomalies in #Antarctic sea ice concentration show the monthly variation from the long-term mean. This map from https://t.co/y4lB84iTL9 shows more ➖ than ➕ anomalies for June. See the lack of sea ice in Bellingshausen Sea (arrowed), almost at summer ice levels in mid-winter!
📉 #Antarctic winter: blue lines are the extent of sea ice every year since 🛰️ records began. Red line is this year, up to early June. The gap is currently equivalent to the area of New South Wales.

Sobering read: “Seven of eight globally quantified safe and just Earth system boundaries and at least two regional safe and just Earth system boundaries in over half of global land area are already exceeded.” 🌏
