Carbon markets must evolve and expand to encompass biodiversity!
Carefully selecting and conserving 30% of the world’s land is sufficient to conserve 86.3% of species.

@FearedBuck “The humans are ruining this” is hilarious and terrifying. And so it begins

@austinc3301 This is interesting as it incorporates an ontology into the LLM inference process. Kind of challenges my usual “LLMs are just glorified autocomplete” refrain. Need to learn more about this..

[Patrick Leung @puiwah]

Super cool to see the shape of both impact (chart 1) and cost curves as one descends down the priority percentiles.
This is the first time I’ve seen biodiversity / carbon pareto curves - presented for a range of different feasibility and geographical scenarios (chart 2)

Check out this really interesting paper from 2020 on identifying the best areas around the world for restoration. It’s great to see the progress this group has made Iin quantifying and analyzing this.

@MalwareJake Congrats! You've passed the tech debt event horizon 😹🌑

This data explorer shows CO2e/kg of food production across the supply chain. Who knew about dark chocolate?! Luckily we don’t eat steak sized amounts of it… well most of us don’t 😹

@elonmusk For the love of god step down. You have way more important things to do leading Tesla, SpaceX, Boring than wasting time on a social media platform. Hire a competent CEO for Twitter and get back to doing what you do best.

@StokesNeuro Wishing you happiness and peace in your remaining time Mark. Thank you for sharing the poignant beauty of your final days. Safe passage into whatever comes next for you! And lots of love to your family and friends who will miss you dearly. Hari om 💗🕉️🌸

Today I learned there is another form of ultra high density star: The quark star! Well they are a theory originating in the 80's not yet observed.

A star consisting completely of quark matter is one stupendously large single hadron!
#astrophysics is cool

This is amazing! I've always loved tigers and I'm so glad this magnificent and iconic creature is flourishing in Nepal. Let's all follow their guidance: "A key challenge moving forward is to ensure cohabitation between people and nature"

The massive conservation success is expected to make Nepal the only one of the tiger range countries to even come close to doubling its population of the big cat. https://t.co/ChpGboef8Y

If you haven't already, you must read @OlafStapledon's Star Maker. It's hard to imagine a more ambitious and far-reaching work, covering the future fate of our universe, and casting this in the context of a larger evolution in universal consciousness.

Our reforestation project in Panama will restore the natural habitat of the Azuero spider monkey, a critically endangered species. These are extraordinary creatures with great agility, complex social dynamics and a highly developed prehensile tail.

@ClimateReality This is part of the great shift - displacing extractive industries with multigenerational regenerative livelihood that respects and nurtures the land. Fortunately producing food, restoring and protecting nature takes many hands!

[Patrick Leung @puiwah]

@ClimateReality Humanity will get through this but a key part of #ClimateAction will be giving people a sense of hope and agency in this #ClimateCrisis (and the host of other ecological collapses we are navigating) Let us eco warriors spread inspiration, hope, and reverence for #nature

[Patrick Leung @puiwah]

@ClimateReality Wonderful to hear! #agroforestry is surely the future of the necessary regenerative food systems of humanity's near future.

[Patrick Leung @puiwah]

@grist Great article @grist! This highlights the shift humanity needs to make from exploiting nature as a "resource" to placing it as the center of value in our civilization: our home, an abundant source of life for us to harmoniously coexist with and cultivate for the good of all.

[Patrick Leung @puiwah]

@mongabay Sigh. This is not unlike what happened in California whose coastal areas were once covered in old growth redwoods with desirable timber. There isn't a whole lot of old growth forest left, long after this happened. This time around we must counter such destructive #deforestation
