At-risk native bees will soon have new potential homes in the city thanks to the Pollinator Port Project, an initiative led by the city Department of Transportation in collaboration with the Horticultural Society of New York and Rutgers University. https://t.co/YOmkqpWAHe

My tears for Flaco followed by resolve to keep pushing for bird-friendly window and building materials on ALL buildings. NYC has such rules but only for new construction and renos. Rest in Power, @flaco_theowl

Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl hoots 🔊 and stretches in his favorite oak tree in Central Park in October 2023, the site of today's memorial service for him. 🦉 ❤️ 👑

@urbanhawks What street was Flaco seen on?

@pete_savin Special trees like this should have legal rights. Individuals or organizations who kill special trees should be punished in a court of law and be heavily fined, imprisoned. #rightsofnature

@AlexSteffen So true! For example, many furniture makers proudly state their wood is sourced for US forests, as if that assured sustainability.

Friday good news for the Amazon forest, indigenous peoples and us all (climate and biodiversity) https://t.co/ujCXcIl1Na

@PictureThisAI Why the “wood price” feature? Totally commodifies trees, and can tempt people to cut theirs down for the timber. We need as many trees as possible left alive and standing to combat the climate crisis. Not to mention for their intrinsic value as beautiful living beings.

The gravity of police calling @ErinBrockovich a terrorist can’t be overstated. How can brave informed citizens defending against corporate poisoning of Americans be terrorists? The exact opposite; they’re true patriots.

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

Ohio police link environmental hero @ErinBrockovich to "terrorism" because she is organizing residents in East Palestine to challenge the rail company that poisoned their town. Outrageous.

Those who challenge polluters are now terrorists?

Allow me to introduce you to the most ridiculous yet amazing thing you will see this week.

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

BREAKING: Shocking autopsy reveals climate activist and pacifist Miguel Teran was shot at least 13 times by Georgia police. The state (@GBI_GA) must release all evidence – including critical body cam footage.

Feels like an ambush-style execution.

Building a new house in Tokyo?
Now you have to put in solar panels!

Sad but not surprised that the DOJ today sided with @Chevron to claim the company's prosecution of me after helping Amazon peoples win a historic $9.5b pollution case was permissible.

Merrick Garland is stating a corporation can act as a government prosecutor. Indefensible.

[Christina Cobb @UrbisEco]

@billmckibben @bobfulkerson @billmckibben thanks, will do!

[Christina Cobb @UrbisEco]

@Gothamist Nailing into tree bark can weaken the tree’s ability to keep out insects, bacteria, and fungus, adding to the many stressors street trees deal with and potentially shortening their lives. Not cool.

[Christina Cobb @UrbisEco]

@rockcenternyc This beautiful tree is best appreciated ALIVE. @rockcenternyc evolve with the times and create a sculptural tree made of reusable steel parts, and all the same lights and decorations

After 200+ days of hunger strike, Alaa Abdel Fattah is about to die in #Egypt in the midst of #Cop27 for the "crime" of sharing a Facebook post on torture. It will make a mockery of the climate talks. @POTUS & @RishiSunak have the power to stop this: intervene NOW to #SaveAlaa

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

A vast new study finds there are 70 percent fewer wild animals sharing the earth with us than there were in 1970.
Read that again. And again.
