Fascinating "Tool use'' culture in great apes 🦍#evolution

[Bulindi Chimpanzees @BulindiChimps]

Chimp stick tool culture is alive & well in western Uganda after all! New studies from @BulindiChimps & other 'forest fragment' chimpanzees reveal a complex cultural landscape among Ugandan chimpanzees. OA special issue here: https://t.co/OT7Tz4RjQf

An important step towards sustainable farming 🚜 🌽🍓🥔

#Farming #agriculture #sustainability #pesticides

[EU Food Safety - #EUFarm2Fork @Food_EU]

-50% of pesticides use by 2030
+25% of organic farming by 2030

How do these objectives of our #EUFarm2Fork strategy work in practice?

📺 Meet these young EU farmers using fewer pesticides to make agriculture more sustainable

Taking care of our environment is everyone's responsibility.
Let's take care of the biodiversity of our planet by doing our part 🙂🦎☘️🌎🌊

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Forests, wetlands, mountains & drylands:

💧 provide us with clean air & water
🐞 are home to most of the world’s biodiversity
🌦️ help to mitigate climate change
➕ & much more!

Here are 3 actions we can ALL take to help achieve #SDG15 - life on land.

Astonishing !!! A relatively unexplored realm in science 🌍🦠🌱
#soil #nature #biodiversity

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Did you know soil is a living resource, home to more than 25% of our 🌎's #biodiversity?

Soil biodiversity is key to global food security, we need to protect our soils!

Severe situation in Somalia.
#Somalia #food

[FAO Newsroom @FAOnews]

🔴 Somalia: 6 million people -38% of the population - are poised to fall into crisis, emergency or catastrophe levels of hunger between now and June – @theIPCinfo says.
Aid to keep rural, agri-dependent families on their feet is needed at massive scale.

Noise pollution can have impact on the life of marine animals 🌊🐋🐙🔇
#NoisePollution #ocean #MarineLife

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

Human noise is taking over the ocean soundscape.

Fossil fuel companies are exposing endangered species and crucial ecosystems to unbearable noise and pollution from seismic blasts and deep-sea drilling operations.

As the world population is estimated to reach 9 billion by 2050,demand for animal protein sources will surge.

Insects can be a great alternate source, as they have greater food conversion efficiency and environment friendly. 🙂🦗

#ClimateCrisis #food #insects #protein

[European Food Information Council (EUFIC) @EUFIC]

#Insects have been pointed out as an #alternativeprotein to conventional livestock with the potential to help face the increasing protein demand more sustainably. 🦗

Besides being nutritious, they are high in protein, can be produced using less resources & cause less pollution.

Why ‘eco-conscious’ fashion brands can continue to increase emissions https://t.co/MyVWrAl32i

[Science Station @ScienceStationB]

IPCC has released it's report, and it is high time to act on global carbon emission to save our ecosystem.
#ClimateCrisis #carbonemissions #ClimateAction #SaveNature

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

The evidence is clear: the time for action is now. We can halve emissions by 2030.

The #IPCC has just released its latest #ClimateReport on the mitigation of #climatechange.

Emergence, spread and rise in number of multidrug-resistant bacteria or “superbugs is a major concern as antibiotic usage is increasing in livestock industry.
Proper measures need to be taken to stop AMR 🦠
#bacteria #antibiotics #Disease #animals #science

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Antimicrobial resistance doesn't just affect people, it affects animals too!

This is why farmers have a key role in fighting #AMR!

Are you a farmer?

A remarkable decision by NSW government to save our coastlines and it's ecosystem 🐙🐋🌊🐟🦈🐢
#ocean #conservation #Coast #nature #drilling #animals

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

The NSW government won't support commercial applications for offshore mining or exploration activities relating to coal, petroleum and other minerals, in or adjacent to NSW coastal waters, in a bid to protect the pristine coastline.

According to reports, a genus of algae, Trebouxia, which is found in about 7000 species of lichens, take a million year to adapt to 1°C change in climate.
With current rise in temperature, some Trebouxia dependent lichens may disappear🌳🌎

Women representation is only 27% in STEM industry in the United States, despite making up almost half of the total U.S. workforce.
We need more women to inspire the next generation of Scientists & Engineers.🙂👩‍🔬🧪🚀🦠👩‍💻

#WomenInScience are still underrepresented and struggle to get recognition for their achievements.

On 11 February, take a stand with UNESCO and UN Women to end gender bias that holds girls back from pursuing a career in #STEM!

Without biodiversity, we wouldn’t have the food we eat today🍅🍊🥔🌽🌶️🥝

But it is disappearing before our eyes.
