  The literal 'canaries in the coal mine' our ecological life support system are disappearing across the country (and the world), yet people are much more concerned about the price of eggs, or just about anything else other than reality. 🌏

  "Trump has taken an axe to forest protections in the US, announcing two executive orders that aim to strip away foundational checks on destructive logging and fast-track industrial clearcutting in some of the US’s most precious and climate-critical forests." 🌏 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

  Ecofeminism needs an overhaul if it's going to help save the planet. 🌎 That means breaking away from histories of racism, colonialism, and extractivism, and reimagining our shared futures.💡 Read what the scholars have to say in this month's edition of Peatmail: open.substack.com/pub/peatmail...

  A selfie with me tree! I planted this tree at the local Gaelic football club. We planted 200 native Irish trees into grass in unused areas. It was 2 feet when planted and after one growing season it’s now about 8 feet high. 🦋🌎🌱

  It’s illegal to take sand from Hawai’i. You can’t touch corals, turtles, or get near seals… The only unprotected reef life are the fish, extracted 365 days/yr, w/o limits, on the lower islands & reefs across the world — for the aquarium trade. highly recommended this film: 🌎🦑 www.thedarkhobby.com

  In wild nature, there is no end to the beauty, wonder, and joy. There is also profound meaning, and connection to something far bigger and more lasting than ourselves. It is truly humbling, in the very best possible ways. 🌍

  did you know that it can take white sturgeon over 20 years to spawn?? this is one of the reasons sturgeon populations are threatened ~ it takes longer for them to bounce back! 🧪🌎🌐👩🏻‍🔬 #sturgeonsaturday

  I took this photo less than 10 years after the deer fence behind was erected. Before it went up, the land behind was just grass, exactly like the foreground where he sheep are. *Nothing* was planted here. "It's not rocket science" is an understatement. 🌍

  
  

  Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @irishrainforest.bsky.social

  "But natural regeneration is too slow, nature needs us to plant trees to speed things up." A total myth: very often, natregen is way faster. Either way, the result is FAR superior ecologically. How? It's doing what trees have done since they first evolved, aeons before we came along. 🌍

  Walking the mountain in thick, swirling mist right now, and the limited visibility forces the mind to focus on the geological: timeless, wonderfully eroded natural rock sculptures, gently dripping. Elemental. 🌎

  How Wild Forests Change Rivers* A branch covered in ivy falls into a river during a storm, and begins to collect leaves, twigs, + other debris, creating a dam. With a flood, there's every chance a new, different, channel will be carved out. Such processes are a constant in the rainforest here. 🌎

  #theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 76 Bees are able to navigate using the polarised light patterns in the sky by virtue of their three ‘simple eyes’ or #ocelli which are positioned on top of the head between their two larger compound eyes. So five eyes in all! 👀 #bees #nature 🐝🌍
