Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis), from the starling family. Introduced on Mauritius to combat locust plagues, this bird dominates (sub-)urban to rural areas (upon its arrival, other birds tend to move away) and is seen by some as a competitive threat to endemic species, who do not fare as well in proximity to the human cultural landscape.

Wild Atlantic Rainforest
Irish biodiversity is threatened and in need of urgent attention. This is a unique opportunity to create healthy ecosystems, build climate resilience and repair our connection with nature.

Une espèce de #nudibranche #éolidien, toute petite et nouvellement décrite (2020), endémique de #Méditerranée, a maintenant sa fiche descriptive sur notre site : la dondice de Trainito.

Si vous la cherchez : max. 1,5 cm de long mais entre 0 et -50 m de profondeur ! Plutôt sur des hydrozoaires Obelia bidentata ou Eudendrium glomeratum. :-)

Sir Partha Dasgupta | Champions of the Earth

When the UK Treasury approached Sir Partha Dasgupta in 2019 to carry out a review of the economics of biodiversity, the eminent Cambridge University economist did not think twice about saying “yes”.

His landmark report shows economic growth came at a devastating cost to nature making clear that humanity is destroying its most precious asset — the natural world — by living beyond the planet’s means.

Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen. #DieKleinenDinge

Hier: der Gemeine Tiegelteuerling (Crucibulum laeve), auch Brotkorbpilz oder Vogelnest #Pilz.
Die Sporenpakete werden durch Wassertropfen herausgeschossen und können ca 20km/h schnell werden. Sie haben ein "Lasso" dabei mit dem sie sich an Pflanzen festhalten können. Dadurch werden sie für Pflanzenfresser positioniert, über deren Kot sie verbreitet werden. #biodiversty #FungiFriday

Marshy miracles: Wetlands are Earth's key to coping with climate change

Our planet's wetlands are some of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet, harboring countless rare and endangered species – perhaps even more so than the Amazon rain forest and coral reefs put together.
