Ma série sur les loups du plateau de Millevaches pour @lesjours.fr se termine avec des nouvelles de la meute, du déclassement de l'espèce et des espoirs de coexistence. lesjours.fr/obsessions/l...

Vous êtes élu.e ou journaliste. Vous êtes intéressé.e par la question du loup. Le samedi 15 novembre de 11h à 13h à la Maison de l’Environnement à Lyon, l’ASPAS organise une table ronde sur le loup, rien que pour vous. Pour vous inscrire : www.billetweb.fr/invitation-e...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Hahaha, I love this photo of a snake nerd researcher from the Phoenix Herpetological Society using a fake leg to step on rattlesnakes & see how likely they are to bite. He "stepped" on 175 of them, and was bitten by only SIX. Snakes desperately want to just get away! 🐍🧪 www.npr.org/2024/05/17/1...

Good ocean news that a legal effort to overturn a ban on bottom fishing gear in 87 areas of the Atlantic continental shelf has failed. These areas are now closed to all bottom trawling and dredging as well as bottom set longlines, gill nets and pots. www.euronews.com/green/2025/0...

At #EOU2025 @eounion.bsky.social conference next week, we'll show new evidence implicating forestry in declines of British Marsh Tits during the era of woodland conversion in 1950/60s-1980s. This was period of steepest decline in Marsh Tits. Why? What was going on back then? #ornithology 1/5

Cet été, je vous raconte le retour du loup sur le plateau de Millevaches dans une série d'articles pour @lesjours.fr. Ce premier article pose le contexte entre polémiques aux niveaux national et local et réalités de l'espèce. lesjours.fr/obsessions/l... 👇

Our new paper out today: www.livescience.com/animals/land...

“fig trees store calcium carbonate in their trunks—essentially turning themselves (partially) into stone... The team of Kenyan, US, Austrian, & Swiss scientists found trees could draw carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere & store it as calcium carbonate 'rocks' in soil”😮 phys.org/news/2025-07...

[1/3] AFP - En juin 2025, l’énergie solaire est devenue pour la première fois la première source d’électricité en Europe, avec 22,1% de la production, devant le nucléaire (21,8%) et l’éolien (15,8%). Ce record s’explique par un fort ensoleillement et l’essor du photovoltaïque. #geography #energymix

Parce qu'il ne s'arrête jamais, le Sénat et sa majorité droitière préconisent de supprimer purement et simplement le Conservatoire du Littoral. Organisme qui a notamment permis d'éviter de nombreuses betonisations et œuvré pour la préservation de nos côtes. Une pétition est lancée 👇

Just came across a 2003 paper that stated that "all conservation needs could be readily met through only moderate reductions in military spending." We're further away from global conservation goals than ever now.

A paper in Nature suggests that the Australian Bogong moth may be the first invertebrate known to be able to use the stars to navigate. Experiments in flight simulators indicate that the insects use stellar cues to help them fly in the right direction. go.nature.com/3ZEaDgG 🧪

Woah! Such an important study published in Nature today! Quick thread with some of their key figures! 🧵

BTW, our new guide on protesting safely in the age of surveillance is unpaywalled. From phone safety tips to just how much law enforcement can track your movements, take a look at the guide:

More than 24,000 factory farms have opened across Europe Intensive livestock farms such as those found across the US are spreading across the continent, according to new data. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Wildlife trade acts as a vast global network of unregulated natural laboratories,with ample opportunities for viruses to circulate & evolve to become more dangerous We can either turn a blind eye or try to understand & mitigate the risks My latest in @nature.com 1/ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Breaking news: it appears Emperor penguin populations in Antarctica are declining faster than predicted. Latest satellite data shows a massive 22% drop in penguin numbers over the last 15 years in key regions. This is more than double the rate of loss that experts had expected... 🧵 1/8

Big Tech's emissions increased 150% in just 4 years, "thanks" to the exploding electricity demands of slop-bucket LLMs that boil lakes to rephrase the internet Generative AI is worse than useless; it is making it impossible for us to limit climate change www.energymonitor.ai/news/interna...

Europe’s competitiveness and citizens would benefit from stronger chemicals rules: close the info gap, phase out harmful substances, and ensure proper enforcement. By Margot Wallström, former vice president @ec.europa.eu, Jytte Guteland and @matsengstrom.bsky.social www.politico.eu/article/prop...

Breakthrough in search for HIV cure leaves researchers ‘overwhelmed’

“One of our very good friends – he now does not have the emotional courage to hang up a sheet to collect moths at night. It is too devastating to see how few there are.” On climate change and a shifting world: for insects, for birds, for bats, for us. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Afro-Asiatic wildcat is the most widely distributed wildcat, but experts and information on the species are scarce. The seeming lack of human curiosity is surprising, considering the domestic tabbies we keep as pets and lavish billions of dollars on annually are descended from these wildcats.

Hier, j'étais invitée en compagnie du réalisateur Jean-Michel Bertrand et de l'éleveuse et présidente de la Fédération nationale ovine Michèle Boudoin pour le 28 minutes d'ARTE. Nous avons échangé autour du déclassement du statut de protection du loup, un débat constructif et ouvert.

Horse Chestnut flowers - Nature’s traffic lights The flowers change colour over time with pale-yellow centres turning red It can be a sign of ageing or an indicator of pollinator activity where the deposition of pollen on the stigma induces the colour change.

L’émission du 13 mai avec Macron « montre sans ambiguïté que la disparition de l’écologie de la conversation publique n’est pas une fatalité. Cette absence procède d’une construction et d’un trucage, délibéré ou non, du débat démocratique » dit @sfoucart.bsky.social www.lemonde.fr/idees/articl...

The big story here isn’t the failure of direct air capture (DAC) as a CO₂ removal (CDR) technique. It’s that Iceland is turning its back on CDR. Social acceptance is so important for CDR to succeed in the long term, and not enough effort is being put into this.

La commission des affaires économiques de l’Assemblée nationale a achevé vendredi 16 mai l’examen de la proposition de loi « Duplomb ». Elle a réintroduit la plupart des reculs écologiques qui avaient été retirés en commission développement durable. Par Amélie Poinssot

In additional to precious minerals....FISH. 57% of fish species in Senegal are in decline due to overfishing and practices by industrial foreign fleets (mainly from Spain and China) such as bottom trawling, which involves dragging a weighted net across the ocean floor.

I will forever be haunted by this footage. Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity. What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives. 🌎🦑🧪
