How can science better inform global efforts on biodiversity and climate? #iucn_World_Conservation_Congress

🚨 NEW: By the end of this video, Europe will have lost 2850m² of land to construction. That’s almost half a Premier League football pitch. This rate of loss, amounting to 600 football pitches a day, is 1.5 times higher than official EEA estimates. This is the #GreenToGrey project. [1/3]

Nature in Europe is being lost piece by piece. Using our method, journalists from 11 countries have uncovered the extent of the nature loss. www.theguardian.com/environment/... The #greentogrey project was coordinated by @journalismarena.eu in collaboration with NRK.

Nature in Europe is being lost piece by piece. No complete overview has existed on how much is disappearing – until now. Read about how we helped journalists uncover how Europe is going from #greentogrey, coordinated by @journalismarena.eu in collaboration with NRK: www.nina.no/english/Abou...

NINA researcher Roel May did an 11-year study to examine if painting one blade of wind turbines black would save the lives of eagles. Now scientists are testing a range of technologies to reduce bird strikes — from painting stripes to using AI — to keep birds safe. e360.yale.edu/features/win...

Large numbers of pink salmon are relatively new to Norway’s coasts and rivers, and so is our knowledge about their potential impacts on these ecosystems. #pinksalmon

Using metabarcoding to monitor insect populations, Norway is the first country in Europe to implement this methodology in a Government led program. The same methodology could be applied across Europe for cost-effective monitoring of the neglected majority of insect species. #insectmonitoring

In a study conducted in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, researchers from SEAPOP have used a nearly 40 year-long data series to assess how changes in sea ice affect the breeding distribution of common eiders. www.nina.no/english/Abou...

New international study published in #Nature presents a powerful framework for identifying the “missing” species from #ecosystems.

If you are studying specific details of a single species’ performance in relation to water temperature in a lake, why bother about what happens downstream? It is time to look outwards again, towards broader horizons. #FramForum #NatureResearch

Really nice talk about common Greenshank breeding ecology by @bksandercock.bsky.social from @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social. Taking data from 40-90 years ago to estimate demographics using modern methods. Females could be individually identified from egg patterns! #NOF2025

The wild reindeer in Norway no longer use the calving grounds surrounding the public tourist cabin Pyttbua. Should the Government allow the cabin to be upgraded—or should tourism in the area rather be limited? NINA has simulated the potential consequences. #WildReindeer

Christopher O’Sullivan, Irish minister for Nature, Heritage and Biodiversity, and Duncan Halley, senior research scientist at NINA, are equally enthusiastic about the White-tailed Sea Eagle reintroduction programme. youtu.be/UZQbuy5UPWY

NINA is expanding its expertise in vegetation ecology and restoration and is seeking a skilled and dedicated researcher to strengthen our team in Bergen. nina-english.attract.reachmee.com/jobs/70-rese...

Large carnivores have returned to Europe—but the wolf protection status is being reduced. A major EU-funded project will identify how to ensure coexistence between people and carnivores.

Researchers have uncovered a vast ecosystem on an Antarctica ice cap. The communities, largely made up of photosynthetic algae, are likely to host new species to science, and have been shown to add to melting of the ice caps in the region. #PolarResearch

Available position as Senior Engineer Seabirds in NINA. The work includes monitoring and research on seabirds and human-made challenges such as fisheries, climate and offshore wind development and mapping of distribution and area use. nina-english.attract.reachmee.com/jobs/68-seni...

Norwegian hydropower considers itself strong on sustainability, but a study from the research center HydroCen shows significant variation in how the hydropower industry handles challenges related to environmental measures. #renewableenergy

Since 2007, 200 Norwegian sea eagle chicks have found a new home in Ireland. This summer the final release of fledglings in Ireland marks the completion of the establishment phase of the white-tailed sea eagle project. #EcologicalRestoration

Fram Forum: The growing seasons in the past two years were long and warm enough to allow growth of trees both on Svalbard’s high-Arctic and on barren mountaintops in East Finnmark.

When Norwegian journalists need an expert statement about any species of seabird, they are likely to call Tone Reiertsen. She is a veritable gold mine of information about auks and gulls, yet her academic career started with a very common little garden bird. #seabirds

MARCIS Newsletter no 6 is out. The project develops tools for assessing the impact of marine industries on seabirds.

A detailed extinction risk assessment of freshwater fauna, covering more than 23,000 species, reveals that around 24% of the studied species are threatened with extinction. The analysis identifies major threats from pollution, dams, agriculture and invasive species. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪
