Today I go back to our fluffy furry #companions; the wolves. This time we are exploring the #Tundra #Wolf & of course this time I had to get my hands on #babywolf photos. #chaos #protector #guardian #babyanimals #writing #Russia #Arctic #untamed #primal #caribou #tundra #wild #love #habitats #AuDHD

#Forest #canopies offer #habitats for a high #biodiversity, but are for us difficult to access, so many #biologists must deal with ground-level research. However, #technicaloptions have improved in recent decades. M. Lowman (2020) summarizes future perspectives and history of #canopyresearch inclusively#toolkit development, e.g. canopy walkways. #arbornauts

The #trunk of a Norway #maple (#Acer #platanoides) in #Berlin's Goethepark. This photo illustrates the variety of #habitats a #tree provides for a wide variety of #organisms. The outer bark harbors mosses, lichens, mites, and insects; ants often nest on the ground near the trunk, while cavities formed by the trunk can provide refuge for #dark-loving micro and #macro organisms. #Ecology #biodiversityofatree

The #Norwaymaple #Acer #platanoides is a native #tree of (Central) #Europe that spread northward after the last #IceAge along with mixed oak forests and is still commonly found in such #treecommunities today. Like all #trees, it offers #habitats for numerous organisms, forming complex macro#ecosystems, e.g., the #leaves, where #aphids feed, while the #ant #Formica #fusca is collecting their excretions (honeydew) as food.

Standing crop (Ecosystems 🏞️)
A standing crop is the total biomass of the living organisms present in a given environment. This includes both natural ecosystems and agriculture.
Sand groomers v turtles: how #wildlife is falling foul of the demand for #Insta-perfect beaches
From the #turtle-nesting beaches of Italy to Greek island bird havens, across the #Mediterranean campaigners are fighting to protect habitats from #tourists seeking a picture-perfect #holiday

The U.S. (#US #USA) #Endangered #Species #Act, #ESA, is endangered! Taking #habitats out of the equation would have devastating consequences. #Help #save the 40-year old #legislation, and urge the federal government to continue to consider harms to habitats within the range of possible harms to species, by commenting on the proposed change (anonymously if you prefer). Nothing less than #lives, #biodiversity, #life, and our common #home, #planet #Earth, are at stake.

Report: 10 Endangered Animals Threatened by Trump’s Habitat Proposal https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/report-10-endangered-animals-threatened-by-trumps-habitat-proposal-2025-04-24/
But Kristen Brengel, senior VP of govt affairs at the #NationalParks #Conservation Association, noted Roosevelt himself used the #law to #protect the huge swath of #land that later became #GrandCanyon National Park.
“He stood on the rim of the Grand Canyon & said he was going to protect it, & then he did,” she said.

Signed into #law by President Theodore Roosevelt, the #AntiquitiesAct of 1906 gives presidents vast powers to #protect #lands & #waters through the creation of #NationalMonuments. But the law is quiet on whether presidents can remove designations set by their predecessors.
The Bureau of Land Management administers ~17k square miles of national monuments in the West….

Other performance metrics include removing #protections for #EndangeredSpecies that have *recovered* & restoring “historic [racist] names” to #landmarks. On his first day back in office, #Trump stripped #NorthAmerica’s tallest mountain of its #Indigenous name, #Denali, & restored its previous title, Mount McKinley.

The draft strategic plan spells out the #Trump admin’s #Interior Dept’s priorities through 2030, which include increasing production of #FossilFuels, opening #lands in #Alaska & elsewhere to #minerals extraction, reducing grazing costs & trying to “release” federal holdings for housing #development.

While #Interior ofcls declined to comment about any potential monument review, the approach was outlined in a “strategic plan draft framework” shared w/ WaPo. One of the dept’s “potential performance measures” going forward, acc/to the document, will be making sure #NationalMonuments are “assessed & *correctly* sized.”

“They opened up Grand Staircase under the previous [#Trump] administration & the #coal market did not rush in, the #oil & #gas market did not rush in, nobody rushed in,” said Tracy Stone-Manning, who led #Interior’s Bureau of #Land Management under #Biden. “There are plenty of #minerals elsewhere. This is about an #ideological battle.”

#Conservation & #Indigenous advocates argue that there is little demand to develop those resources & that the #NationalMonuments represent vital #ecological & #sacred cultural reserves that local communities fought for years to #protect.

#Interior aides are looking at whether to scale back at least 6 #NationalMonuments, said these individuals…. The list, they added, includes Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the #GrandCanyon, Ironwood Forest, Chuckwalla, Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks, Bears Ears & Grand Staircase-Escalante—national monuments spread across #Arizona, #California, #NewMexico & #Utah.

#Trump officials are analyzing whether to remove federal #protections for #NationalMonuments spanning millions of acres in the West, according to two people familiar with the matter and an internal #Interior Department document, in order to spur #energy development on #PublicLands.
