@greeniris_ Didnt riot fired most of the writers in the last 2 years? I dont think they still have a writing team at this point.

@ChristinaLVM1 @DrTOMontgomery Arent invasive house sparrows also a huge problem in england?

In 2026 I am saddened to have to repaint this update: Fall

@_crimewavves @HonkIfUrHoary The one of the conditions in the definition of an "invasive species" is if it is causing harm to the ecosystem. Otherwise is not considered a invasive species.

[Duarte Ribeiro @Duartesribeiro1]

@senshi_real Basicamente isto?

[Duarte Ribeiro @Duartesribeiro1]

@shitterly @omegafreelancer What he is saying is that the show didnt do that. They were too general with the names, so it is more difficult to understand what species they are showing. At least that is what I understood from the tweet

@pfmulligan Hi, are you from scotland? Can you tell me what would be the best places to visit in Scotland to see wildlife in just 2 days?

[Dr Tom Montgomery @DrTOMontgomery]

#Antarctica

A humpback whale killed by Norway’s krill fleet — they trawl straight through whale feeding grounds, throwing dead and dying bycatch overboard as they plunder.

Russia has just arrested an eminent Ukrainian biologist who pleads for curbs on Antarctic krill fishing (see thread).

China and Russia have repeatedly blocked CCAMLR proposals for new Marine Protected Areas and krill catch limits.

Krill forms the foundation of the entire Southern Ocean ecosystem and is an under-reported key vector for long-term carbon sequestration on a vast scale — around 20 MtC (20 million tonnes of carbon) each productive season.

🚨 Trump administration approved a 211 mile private industrial mining road for a FOREIGN mining company backed by millions in US TAXPAYER dollars‼️ One of Alaska’s wildest most pristine landscapes‼️ Alaska Native governments and local communities have said NO to the Ambler Road‼️

[Dr Tom Montgomery @DrTOMontgomery]

#Arctic

A caribou mother cradles her newborn protectively in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

This has been their territory since the late Pleistocene, but today the Trump Administration announced plans to auction off these treasured lands to oil and gas leasing.

This means the entire 1.56 million-acre coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will be opened to: airstrips, roads, thumper trucks, drilling rigs, noise, pollution and pipelines — destruction of one of the last refuges for wildlife on Earth.

@Mr_TitleShot @ShinyResurgence The funny thing is that osprey have their own genus Pandionidae,which means they arent in the Accipitridae with the other eagles,hawks,vultures, etc..

[GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS]

Shocking news
Ocean carbon sink that has saved us so far in absorbing over 25% humans emissions is failing

Results show that in 2023, global oceans absorbed almost a billion tons, or around 10% less CO₂, than anticipated based on previous years

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

The homes of a quarter of the animals that live in our oceans. Gone forever.

We should grieve & know that these tipping points are gonna fall like dominoes.

Now is not the time for ‘carrying on as normal’.

All our homes are at risk.

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

Today, @IUCNRedList officially declared the Slender-billed Curlew extinct, marking the first known global extinction of a formerly widespread migratory bird species whose range included mainland Europe, North Africa, and West Asia.

“The extinction of the Slender-billed Curlew...underscores the urgency of implementing effective conservation measures to ensure the survival of migratory species. Hopefully, the loss of this species will help galvanize action to protect other threatened migratory species,” said CMS Executive Secretary Amy Fraenkel @curlewcalls

[Duarte Ribeiro @Duartesribeiro1]

@umbertosecondo @DrTOMontgomery To be fair it is easier to just stop species going extinct

[Duarte Ribeiro @Duartesribeiro1]

@ScarletMintx Humans are the literal cause of their extintion, we are the ones destroying their habitat

[ArachnoPrince @SpahnCameron]

All that funding and technology they have and they could potentially save these from extinction yet they’re more invested in recreating abominations that aren’t even close to the actual animal they’re aiming for.
