#Kangaskhan, Australia’s only endemic #Pokémon, is commonly poached in its natural habitat. Here, @danlwarren et al. use species distribution modeling algorithms to predict how climate change and other human-induced pressures will impact its distribution: https://t.co/g7eMfAaN8w

Positive results, but one day I hope no management will be needed for chicks to survive on Alphonse🐣

A legal case in Ecuador could set a world precedent by invoking the ‘Rights of Nature’ against large-scale mining.

Dr Mika Peck @SussexLifeSci @SSRP_UoS is providing evidence in the case which could have implications for 6m acres of protected forests.🌳

100% this! There are so many things you can do to support our NHS and other key workers ... irresponsibly setting fire to the countryside isn’t one of them

Tell me: why is everyone so keen to plant trees to combat climate change but no one is talking of making wildflower meadows which are just as efficient at capturing carbon?
Yes, lets plant lots of trees - but not at the expense of meadows.

We made a video about plans to clearcut 40% of a rainforest-covered island off Papua New Guinea packed with endemic species. The forest clearance application submitted by Kulawood Limited is riddled with errors. Please RT. @mongabay #WoodlarkIsland
