Tucson people, Iskashitaa Refugee Network's shop is a great place to do Christmas shopping! Or non-Christmas gift shopping, or to get yummy stuff for yourself. They harvest food that would otherwise be abandoned (like from citrus trees that people can't keep up with) and make really creative, yummy stuff out of it that you would never get anywhere else. No matter what the website says, they do not ship, you have to go over to an office in the back of the church at Alvernon & 3rd and pick it up. When you get there they'll probably have more stuff they just made that wasn't on the website yet, so you can buy more yummy stuff. And they might even hand you some excess produce free while you're there. I love this organization. https://www.iskashitaa.org/iskashop #Tucson #Arizona #Desert

A #daydream I have is to be out in a #desert. A real sand desert; vast, wide and as beautiful as my heart knows it must be. It is an unrealistic daydream for two reasons: 1) I don't fly anymore, in fact haven't since 2019. I have no wish to either. 2) I would be useless in a desert. I am a winter boy and struggle above 25°C. I would be reduced to a gasping heap within the hour.
But still, this daydream lingers and gilds my days. I don't really want it fulfilled, I want to keep dreaming it.
'Their resilience is a lesson to us all': The maritime #lions hunting #seals on the #beach
In #Namibia, a group of #desert lions have left their traditional hunting grounds for the #Atlantic coast, to become the world's only #maritimelions.
They have moved from the arid #NamibDesert to the #AtlanticOcean in search of food, drastically changing their diet and behaviour in #2017 to adapt to this new habitat – and appearing to thrive from the change.

#China confirms #solarpanel projects are irreversibly changing #desert #ecosystems
A team studying one of the largest #photovoltaic parks in China, the Gonghe project in the Talatan Desert, found a striking difference between what was happening under the panels and what lay just beyond. Environment beneath the panels was noticeably healthier. The reasons track with physics: shade cools the surface and slows evaporation, letting scarce soil moisture linger longer.

The Race to Save the Amazon: Top Brazilian Scientist Says Rainforest Is at "Tipping Point"
Democracy Now! interview:
As we broadcast from the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, we are joined by one of Brazil’s most prominent scientists, Carlos Nobre, who says the Amazon now produces more carbon emissions than it removes from the atmosphere, moving closer to a “tipping point” after which it will be impossible to save the world’s largest rainforest. “We need urgently to get to zero deforestation in all Brazilian biomes, especially the Amazon,” he argues.
Nobre is a senior researcher at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo and co-chair of the Scientific Panel for the Amazon. He’s lead author of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for its reports on global warming.
