Towards pollinator-friendly policy and practices #Safeguard policy brief "The topic of pollinators is characterised by different (including opposing) views which are subject to unequal access to policymaking, with a few largely advantaged views gaining political leverage" zenodo.org/records/1490...

No matter who’s in the White House, the business case for green chemistry endures, with fewer liabilities, lower costs, safer workplaces, and happier investors. cen.acs.org/environment/... #chemsky 🧪

The 2025 @lancetcountdown.bsky.social report reveals climate change inaction is costing lives and livelihoods, and harming the economy. During #COP30, explore recommendations for action: spkl.io/63324AbjGM#COP30#LancetClimate25

130+ organisations urge von der Leyen to strengthen enforcement of #EU #pesticide law.

🧵1/4 ☕️ Your morning coffee depends on pollinators more than you might think. Every day, the world savours more than 2 billion cups of coffee. Yet this daily ritual relies on a hidden workforce: pollinators. Bees, butterflies and countless others ensure that coffee blossoms fulfil their potential.

Thank you @katarinazimmer.bsky.social for interviewing me, along with many other experts, for this insightful piece "How Human Medicines Are Disrupting Aquatic Ecosystems" | ACS Central Science pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/....

🦋 Amid the growing controversy over pesticide-heavy lily farming in the Netherlands, @jeroenvandersluijs.bsky.social sat down with @dvhn.nl for an in-depth interview. The conversation goes far beyond lilies – touching on wider environmental issues 🐛 👉 butterfly-europe.eu/interview-wi...

(1/2) Offcontinental locations 2/3: 📍Curaçao. We will be teaming up with Carmabi. Very little research has been done on pollinators in this region, so this is a great chance for us to gather valuable data and learn more about the diversity and importance of pollinators.

On mielenkiintoista seurata, millaisia havaintoja partnerit @butterfly-project.bsky.social hankkeessamme tekevät kaukaisimmilta tutkimuskohteiltamme, kuten Grönlannista. Mikä on pölyttäjien arvo yhteiskunnalle siellä? Ja mitkä lajit ovat tärkeimpiä pölyttäjiä?

(1/2) #LivingLabs focus on 📍 Southern Norway! In Landøy, abandoned coastal heathlands are being restored after decades of neglect following the 1960s fisheries collapse. Restoration supports pollinators, carbon storage, and cultural heritage. #ButterflyEUProject #PollinatorsMatter #SouthernNorway

♻️ A circular economy isn’t always a safe one. New and #opanaccess: Joonas Alaranta & @mimiet.bsky.social examine how REACH & socio-economic analysis handle hazardous substances in recycled materials and how the SSbD framework could offer a more sustainable path. Read here: doi.org/10.1111/reel...

This perspective "How pollinator decline could disrupt supply chains" is an important and refreshing, and also requires close communication with various stakeholders in the supply chains included in the @butterfly-project.bsky.social project. #biodiversity #environment #chemicals @cceel.bsky.social

Voiko energiapajun kasvatus hyödyttää myös pölyttäjiä? Yksi Butterfly-hankkeemme #LivingLabs tutkii bioenergian toimitusketjua pölyttäjäpalveluiden näkökulmasta. #biodiversiteetti #pölyttäjäkriisi #energiantuotanto

Ystävämme saivat negatiivista palautetta, kun eivät leikkaa nurmikkoa lyhyeksi, vaan hoitavat pihaa luontoystävällisesti, suosien kotoisia villikukkia, pörriäisiä, perhosia ja muita pölyttäjiä. Teimme heille kyltin, jossa luonnonmukaisen pihanhoidon perusteluja. #pölyttäjät @naattinet.bsky.social

Pohditko mikä siemenseos olisi paras pölyttäjien kannalta puutarhaasi tänä kesänä? Tutkittua tietoa löytyy tästä tuoreesta julkaisusta.

#LivingLabs focus on 📍 Zeeland (Netherlands) Farmers in Zeeland grow a variety of crops: onions, wheat, legumes, sugar beets, and flax! Flax has been grown for textile production since the Middle Ages. Now, flax fibers are exported, and rest products are processed into building materials🏘️ (1/2)

🌍 We are taking you on a journey across our diverse research sites! First stop: 📍 #LivingLabs – #Murcia @pdelarua.bsky.social 🌸 Did you know 38% of organic crops in Murcia are almond trees? These trees support rural life & heritage—but rising demand brings challenges (1/2).

By the time I travelled, summer had finally arrived in our yard, the first cherry tree was blooming! The temperature has also risen, which the bumblebees, who have been shivering in the cold until now, are also enjoying. 🐝🌤️

Mitä uusin tutkimustieto kertoo Suomen pölyttäjistä? Mitä kimalaisten elämästä ja älykkyydestä tiedetään? 🐝🌻 Sukella kukkien ja pölyttäjien maailmaan tutkijoiden kanssa! 🌷🐝 Ylen luontotoimittaja Minna Pyykön jututettavina ovat hyönteisasiantuntijat Juho Paukkunen, Pasi Sihvonen ja Olli Loukola.

In a blog post published by the #UniversityofReading, #VALOR coordinator Dr. Tom Breeze explains why pollinator conservation must go beyond farmers and include the entire food system.🐝 💻 Read full blog post here: research.reading.ac.uk/research-blo...

Today, on #WorldBeeDay I want to challenge everyone to leave half their garden to pollinators this summer! www.un.org/en/observanc... @butterfly-project.bsky.social @valor-project.eu @uniuef.bsky.social

Have we passed “peak honey bee” in Britain? I’ve posted occasional updates on hive numbers on my blog, but the last of these was in 2022. It feels like it’s time for another - on #WorldBeeDay2025! Read more here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2025/05/20/h... #bees #pollinators #biodiversity #FAO #ecology

Puolet pihasta pölyttäjille! Tähän kannustan tänä kesänä kaikkia suomalaisia. www.sll.fi/luonnonsuoje... @butterfly-project.bsky.social @uniuef.bsky.social

Tämmöstä ilmastosarjakuvaa tuli ulos. Ja se on pdf:nä ihan ilmaiseksi luettavissa/kuunneltavissa. 👉 lauda.ulapland.fi/handle/10024... Projekti oli mittava monivuotinen urakka ja meikäläinenkin sai kunnolla sykkiä. Antoisaa, kiinnostavaa, toivoa herättävää. Iso kiitos, @koneensaatio.fi ! 🙌✨

🤯We kicked off this exciting project with a rendezvous last week, and it was great! 💗 Our incredible @jeffollerton.bsky.social has shared his thoughts on the meeting on his blog. 🦋Check it out:

🐝 🦋 🪰 🧬 Hosting Opportunity for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship 2025 - Pollinators Conservation + Omics in @um.es Spain. If you hold a PhD (max 8 years’ experience) and meet MSCA PF criteria, apply by July 7, 2025. Please forward! 📢📢 More info in: lnkd.in/ddG_RdxC

The costs of PFAS remediation: The more #PFAS are used and spread, the more the #health and #remediation costs. We conducted remediation cost estimates for soil, water, sludge and leachate for the EU27 countries, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and the UK: foreverpollution.eu/lobbying/the...

There is snow on the ground and Christmas is coming, but with our new EU project, I remind you of the importance of pollinators to our society. I look forward to working with this top team led by @jeroenvandersluijs.bsky.social on an important issue! www.uef.fi/en/article/p...
