You have it in your power to make a difference. Don’t give up. There is a future for you. Do your best while you’re still on this beautiful Planet Earth that I look down upon from where I am now. - Jane Goodall

Quakers in their enormous communal nest

Classic

Bijna knap hoe in deze duiding, in een artikel over de hevige bosbranden, één bepaald woord geheel ontbreekt… 😵‍💫 @nieuws.nos.nl #klimaat

I can't believe they got this interview with the walrus

Luckily, I read slowly. 🤷‍♂️

If biocide usage and non-native plants mean that your garden is bereft of colourful Lepidoptera then capitalism has your back @georgemonbiot.bsky.social - seen at a garden centre today #ExtremeCivilisation

And my morning ended like this: four coots having the biggest row ever and there was nothing I could do about it. I hoped they all lived to tell. 🪶

Given the normal pigeon "nests" I would argue the spikes improved things.

"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.'"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Turns out, we *really* needed that last decade of lost climate action that Trump has wasted. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I got some amazing people currently studying the material!! 🙏

Found this framed in the office 🫣

That's the reaction when Pokemon see our world burning down.

Hi! I'm a scientist studying artificial stuff in animal nests, and I'm looking for a #Pokémon expert. 🌍 Yup, I found some Pokémon in a nest!! 😲 Specifically, the question concerns dating pieces of packaging, which might be tricky. Who knows EVERYTHING about Pokémon? Who can I send a DM to? 😅

Let's share something positive! Last week, I was a judge in a seagull-imitation competition (dream job!!), and this was the juvenile winner. Isn't she amazing?! 🤩 "Three, two, one ... 🐦"

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

science lady is excited

I will forever remember Jane, her inspiring stories and her powerful message of hope, but also her humour, smile and the fun that we had. With a twinkle in her eyes, she once said to me: ‘The chimps would have the time of their lives grooming you’. Best compliment I ever had. 🐵

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

🚨: NASA just dropped a full disk image of Earth taken by Artemis II 🤯

Een nieuwe Wat Blijft-documentaire, over Jane Goodall! Ik sprak over haar met filosoof @stinej.bsky.social, bioloog @aukeflorian.nl, en programmamaker Janine Abbring. Te horen op NPO Luister en op Spotify*! npo.nl/luister/podc...

Love to get a comment back on a paper that says "The results look fake, and the images of plastics also look like these were created by AI". We counted each and every piece by hand. I assure you they are not fake.

On average, scientific papers are only read by a few. So it fills me with joy every time someone takes the time to look at my work! Thanks to @altmetric.com I found out that my research has suddenly been picked up in China! How exciting! 😱🧪

Bird snow angels🥰 #birds

Het wordt steeds makkelijker voor burgers om de wetenschap te helpen: naast teldagen, natuur-apps en clean-ups zorgen dierenopvangcentra voor waardevolle data. Mare ging met bioloog Liselotte Rambonnet naar het vogelasiel waar ze werkt. ‘Gierzwaluwen krekels en wasmotten voeren is echt aanpoten.’

Nest failure due to drone use is a real thing. Please do comment to help birds and other wildlife against an absolutely stupid unnecessary hazard. Honestly, who the fuck needs a drone.

The flightless #kakapo usually nest underground. Yesterday we found the coolest nest I’ve ever seen: Whetu was 3m above ground in a hollow rata tree. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

“This one bird nest that we found turned out to be like a history book" 🪶 Thanks @eos.org for including my research in this article! 🐦🧪

Snow makes neighbors of us all.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

The EPA has scrubbed most of its website of any mention that human activity is driving climate change.

It’s that time of year when this meme becomes relevant again… 🫣

Can’t recommend this documentary on extreme birdwatching enough: absolutely wild stuff! 🦅 You won’t regret it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
