Lee for #The25th NOW! 🤬

🚨Monster fishing 🐟vessels are hoovering up whole #ecosystems in #UK 🇬🇧 waters 🌊 that are supposed to be protected.🤬 I just signed a #petition calling on the new government to #SaveOurOceans from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me? act.gp/47MTYKR #SaveOurSeas #SaveOurFood #SaveOurPlanet #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #ClimateEmergencyIsNow

When you think you're doing good for nature, it could be counterproductive. Wildflowers growing on land previously used for buildings and factories can accumulate lead, arsenic and other metal contaminants from the soil, which are consumed by pollinators as they feed, a new study has found. The metals have previously been shown to damage the health of these pollinators.

I want to dispel the myth that #ecology (or any scientific discipline) is removed from #politics. How #ecosystems are managed, conserved, and degraded are all determined by political decisions. Which research projects are funded is decided by the economic importance of the project topics. The actual knowledge we have about the world is shaped by political and economic forces.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: #Arizona's Petrified Forest contains #trees from 200 million years ago that turned to stone when groundwater rich in silica replaced #wood with quartz crystals. 🪵🔮

Scientists study these fossilized #ecosystems to understand which species adaptations helped survival during #climate shifts. The specialized vs. flexible trait question offers clues about current species facing human-made #climatechange. These ancient logs give us a window into #Earth's past that might help inform our future.
