💧🌳 It’s #WateringWednesday and it’s never mattered more.
With record-breaking May heat, young street trees are under real stress and need our help to survive.
Join people across the country caring for baby urban trees - one watering can at a time.

Sustainability isn’t complete unless it includes the brain.

Neurosustainability asks how buildings + cities shape our brains.

“The brain is not concrete… it is always changing.”

The #KMGBF sets out a shared global roadmap to halt & reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 🌿

Achieving its goals and targets depends on action at every level—from national strategies and policies to local initiatives led by communities around the world 🌍

The mechanism that actually moves carbon from the atmosphere into long-term storage runs underground. Trees can't extract the phosphorus and nitrogen locked in rock and mineral soil on their own. So they outsource the job to mycorrhizal fungi, which can. In exchange, the tree feeds the fungi with carbon.

New research has put a number on the global scale of that trade: trees allocate approximately 13 gigatons of CO2 equivalent per year to mycorrhizal fungi. That's roughly 36 percent of all annual emissions from fossil fuels, flowing out of the atmosphere and into the ground in a transaction most carbon accounting completely ignores.

The fungi don't just hold the carbon. They die, decompose, and build the deep soil organic layers that can outlast any individual tree by thousands of years. The forest you can see stores carbon. The fungi you can't see are the ones that keep it there.

This is why soil disruption matters as much as tree loss. You can replant trees. You cannot shortcut the centuries it takes to rebuild the fungal architecture underneath them.

The Government has finally confirmed that the all badger culling will end including in the last cull licence area in Cumbria. After 13 years & the slaughter of 250,000 badgers at a public cost of £100 million this tragedy is finally over. We must now ensure it never starts again under a new Government in 2029. Well done to everyone who took to the fields marched in the streets and stood outside the Courts to end this this cruel costly madness

Two of Antarctica's most iconic species, the emperor penguin and the Antarctic fur seal, have officially been listed as endangered by @IUCNRedList.

Climate change is accelerating food scarcity, disease, and habitat loss, putting countless species at risk of extinction.

These declines are a wake-up call to act. Read the full press release: https://t.co/b8CBU1oz1b

"Are developers just buying an improvement in biodiversity - not the land itself?" Yes. As a developer, you're buying that improvement. Build the housing we need. Improve nature in the process. We think that's great.

Do you agree?

Every forecast, every warning, and every dataset we share helps countries turn data to action. By closing data gaps in observations, we can ensure that communities are informed, warned early and better protected wherever they may be. Our power, our planet. #EarthDay

The UN Special Rapporteur's report on Cultural Rights in Conservation is clear: you cannot protect biodiversity without protecting cultural diversity.

It warns against fortress #conservation and urges States and donors to adopt a cultural rights-based approach.
