Heat-affected wildlife on a burning planet
"When our animals are heat-stressed, they are also severely compromised, so we see a spike in other issues as well, like vehicle collisions, entanglements and injuries."

Few animals scare full-grown African elephants. -- But bees are among them.
So it was to bees that
#Iain #Douglas-#Hamilton looked when he sought to draw a line between the pachyderms’ domain and humanity’s.
The farmers of Samburu, the Kenyan county where his research was based,
bore elephants no ill will as long as the beasts kept out of their smallholdings.
But the elephants did not know that.
#Bee #fences—hives established at regular intervals on a farm’s perimeter—not only deterred the interlopers, they also yielded a mellifluous profit.

Old Palace, Alice Brasser, 2012
idk maybe other people understand this in some other way but for me when folks use weird colors in a natural scene they are describing a kind of altered state of perception, or how they are affected by the place. Or maybe they are telling the truth about a place that seems different to the normal senses, like when Rowdy Roddy Piper puts the sunglasses on in They Live. Or, the palace on the other side of the fence is in a different, fantasy universe. Or maybe they just like using interesting colors, they got bored with the ones The Universe picked. Anyways I really like this, I experience it, I think it's really good. On their website is a lot of good art, they are productive:

Somewhere there are changing attitudes - they are removing barbed wire fencing
" Man removes 18km of barbed wire fencing from Victorian property to save wildlife. According to Entangled Wildlife Australia, 80 per cent of barbed wire entanglements occur on the top strand. Across Australia, there is a growing push to ban the use of barbed wire for property boundaries. Changing attitudes and behaviour are key if we are to create a safer environment for our wildlife."

Never tear down a fence until you know why it was raised.
-- Robert Frost
Shiny new barbed wire fences are going up around the Bellingen and Gleniffer area:
"Barbed wire is a hidden killer of Aussie wildlife. Gliders, bats, owls and wallabies die tangled every year. Researchers have long documented sugar and squirrel gliders caught on barbed wire in roadside vegetation...Replacing barbed wire with plain fencing is a quick win for nature. It’s simple, cheap, lifesaving."
