Calcareous grassland #restoration 🐦👩‍🌾🐝 Presenting InterRest results at #BES Annual Meeting Impressive to see what we’ve achieved: linking habitat quality, agricultural landscapes, pollinators, birds, predation functions and people in grassland restoration. Thanks to the great InterRest team 💚

Estonia is among the EU's most peat-rich countries. Estonian restoration expert @aveliina.bsky.social, whom I interviewed for the initial story, also spoke to the British Forces Broadcasting Service about the country's peatlands (from min. 17 ish) the other day: open.spotify.com/episode/24Tk...

Ma ei suuda saa aru, kuidas ei suudeta aru saada, et just see TÕMBLEMINE on see, mis probleemiks on. 🤦‍♀️

Kui Eesti200 selline plaan on, siis see on üks tõeliselt pöörane plaan. Kulude kokkuhoidu ja lisapanust riigikaitsesse tasub otsida valdkondadest, mis on võrreldes majandusega ebaproportsionaalselt kasvanud, mitte neist, mis semudele tülikad.

Põlised niidud (sellised nagu Eesti pärandniidud - puisniidud, aruniidud, loopealsed), kus suur liigirikkus on pika aja jooksul saanud kujuneda, on tolmeldajatele üliolulised. Värske töö näitab, et muuhulgas mängivad nad suurt rolli ka tolmeldajate tervise toetamisel. #pärandniidud #hoiamidaarmastad

Üsna täpne kokkuvõte, mis juhtus kliimakonverentsi #COP29 viimastel tundidel. Teemaks arengumaade kliimarahastus. Valikus oli kokkulepe 300 miljardi euroga aastas või no deal. Seda viimast ei tahtnud keegi peale naftariikide, esimesega olid ka rahul vähesed, kuid vähemalt samm edasi.

Ilmaveidrused jätkuvad.
