Think we'll find a water scorpion on our #pond-dipping and #storytelling workshop May 24th?? I hope so! Would make such a cool character in a story!! What else might we find? Register here: thebarnarts.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/... Support here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/lov...

Calling all pond-lovers, experts and enthusiasts! What are your favourite pond critters? What I can expect to find in a pond-dipping activity in Scotland in May? Hope I don't look like a complete idiot at this workshop I'm running a kickstarter for 😅 www.kickstarter.com/projects/lov...

Ever wonder what weird and wonderful creatures lurk in your local pond? I'm diving into my #scicomm #sciart alter-ego with this community science+art event for pond-dipping and storytelling. Learn, dip, tell stories. Can't wait to see what we come up with😍 www.kickstarter.com/projects/lov...

Do you - look for eco/environmental messages in art?🌿 - read/write/teach/watch/listen to stories like this?📖 - want a community with others who do too?🗣️ This #RewildingDay I'd love to invite you to the Rewilding Our Stories discord server to find your people 🌱https://discord.com/invite/gzMUy7vBJM

Call for applicants: fully-funded ISPF British Council Workshop on Future range of Amazonian Biodiversity, 27/7-2/8 in Manaus. We will train UK- and Brazil-based ecologists and conservationists on mechanistic range models and on Amazonian ecosystems. Details: shorturl.at/hIa7Z. Re-post, please!

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

My drawing below illustrates the importance of spatial ecology for stability: if we ignore space, it's like everyone dancing on the tip of a pin. When space is included (and complex dynamics, too), diversity is easily sustained.

Is habitat fragmentenrion good for conservation & bad for restoration?? conservationcorridor.org/digests/2024...
