An extensive stretch of public and private land along the Merri Creek corridor in Melbourne’s outer north will be handed back to the Wurundjeri and Woi-wurrung people to be managed as a new park. https://t.co/Hw1sTmHF7O

A lot of eucalypt forests naturally limit bushfires if they're allowed to mature. We worked out how they do it, and how we can tap into that to mitigate fire risk. 1/6

What we provide to people seeking asylum is too important for us to not be here come April. Helping #SAVEtheASRC is saving our essential Foodbank, housing, health & legal programs too. https://t.co/7qzNbWg8hO

I know people have not stopped caring about refugees or think our work is done. It’s just everyone is doing it tough. With donations⬇️45% since July we’ve used our savings to keep going but they’re running out. Save a movement. A promise. A place of hope

We have 7 weeks to save the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre from the risk of having to close its doors.

7,000 people seeking asylum are counting on us.

Our work is not done.

Help #SAVEtheASRC. Donate: https://t.co/7qzNbWg8hO

[Jana Favero 🇮🇹⚽️ @janafavero]

ASRC is more than just a charity. It’s a place where people seeking asylum are welcomed, heard, helped and prioritised. Our independence means we can focus on what refugees tell us they want us to do.

Please chip in what you can to save the ASRC👇🏽

📣We have a new OA paper out now!
This is the 1st in a series that highlights how ecological connectivity can be used as a tool for #urbanNature conservation.

Here we show how to use a simple connectivity measure to compare #urbanplanning scenarios:

"What really surprised me was the high diversity we detected. . . . We took one tea bag (100 [or] 150 milligrams of dried plant material), we extracted DNA. And we found in green tea up to 400 species of insects in a single tea bag. . . . "

NEW! My study shows just 10% more #tree canopy reduces #heartdisease💚 for people in houses, specifically by lowering odds of:
#CVD mortality by 4%
all-cause #mortality by 3%
fatal or non-fatal #heartattacks by 7%
But not for people in apartments... why?🤔

Read a great Reddit thread putting historical dates in perspective.

Here are 8 gems.

1/ The moon landing was only 66 years after the Wright Brothers first flight (1903-1969). Within a lifetime, humans went from having limited flight tech to travelling ~239k miles from Earth.

Phenomenal. Bar-tailed Godwit has broken its own record: a first-year bird (five months old!) has flown 13,560 km—just shy of the direct flight limit of a Boeing 787—from Alaska to Tasmania, seemingly non-stop, in just 11 days (avg. speed: c.51 km/hr).

Footscray Park is somewhat flooded. That means we should build a sports stadium on the land.#coloniserslovingtobuildovernature # sarcasmaboutbuilingstadium #maribyrnongriver #2022floods
