Le Luxembourg ne reconquiert pas ses territoires avec des canons, mais les rachète en silence. Bienvenue dans la «reconquête» du pays d’Arlon, version béton, salaires XXL et paysages «optimisés».

Cockatoos! Everyone loves cockatoos… except property developers apparently
Screeching sulphur-crests? Adorable.
Carnaby's & Baudin's blacks doing their thing in banksia heaven? Iconic.
But WA devs: 'Hold my bulldozer – these overpriced McMansions won't build themselves!'
Endangered woodland? What woodland?
Save our black cockies & their banksia home before it's all concrete & regrets.

A #Marseille, un projet d’#urbanisation pourrait transformer une trame verte qui relie friches, collines et terres agricoles. Ces espaces jouent un rôle clé pour la #biodiversité, les sols vivants, les mobilités douces et la qualité de vie.

Un collectif citoyen, Trames Vertes, s’est formé pour défendre ces 25 hectares face à l’artificialisation.

Associations, riverains et Comités d’Intérêts de Quartier s’organisent pour répondre collectivement à l’enquête publique sur le devenir du territoire, et proposer d’autres approches. « On voudrait que la nature, les espaces de nature, les vivants soient au centre ».

Why #WildlifeCorridors are Essential for #Biodiversity and #Ecosystem Health

November 12, 2024

"Wildlife corridors serve as lifelines for biodiversity and ecosystem health. By providing a unique way to balance human development with #NatureConservation; connecting #FragmentedHabitats and allowing wildlife to move freely. So what exactly are wildlife corridors and why are they so important?

Wildlife corridors are strips of natural habitat that connect fragmented landscapes. They enable wildlife to move between isolated areas, aiding #migration, #GeneticDiversity, and survival. These corridors help mitigate the negative impacts of human development, such as #roads and #urbanisation, on animal populations.

Wildlife corridors serve many purposes, all stemming from their ability to reconnect isolated populations. By preventing habitat fragmentation, they enhance survival rates through increased food sources, cover, and reduced predation. On top of this, they protect biodiversity by enabling animals to move freely between habitat patches, reducing the risk to both wildlife and humans posed by human-made barriers.

Wildlife corridors are crucial for the survival of landscape species, which are wildlife species that need expansive areas to survive, such as tigers in India or grizzly bears in the United States. They are also vital in maintaining safe passage for birds, fish, and mammals, especially as new roads and developments create barriers to traditional feeding and breeding grounds.

These corridors can take various forms, ideally spanning 50 to 200 feet in width, providing sufficient habitat for species using them to travel, forage or nest. They offer a diverse range of habitats, enhancing the opportunities for various wildlife to thrive. Corridors can take the shape of #shelterbelts, #FieldBorders, #RiparianBuffers, and #RoadsideHabitats, each playing a unique role in providing sustenance, shelter, and travel lanes for different species.

Wildlife corridors highlight the possibility of a peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife. Wildlife corridors help direct animals away from human settlements, reducing conflicts and minimising damage to crops and property, while ensuring the surviving and well-being of various species. Raising public awareness of these corridors is crucial for maintaining functioning natural systems on which humans also depend."

Imagining that a lot of small, shrinking country towns will be looking at this and thinking, "Would this keep the town alive?"

Highlights that second #demographic transition determinants (e.g. #education, #maritalstatus, #genderequality) are more appropriate than #economic development and #urbanisation to explain #fertility change spatial variation in #China from 2000-2010 - by Hu, Kulu & Mikolai: doi.org/10.1080/17441730.2025.

by Kuoshi Hu, Hill Kulu & Júlia Mikolai
ABSTRACT
Fertility change varies spatially in China, however, the trend and factors that influence the variation at the county level are not fully understood. We analysed the spatial variation in fertility change at the county level in China between 2000 and 2010 using spatial Durbin models. We focused on understanding whether and how changes in population composition, local context, and migration influence changing fertility levels across counties. The results show that fertility change varied in different regions from 2000 to 2010, supporting the idea that the stages of fertility transition are spatially different. An increase in females' educational level and a decrease in the share of the married population in a given county and its neighbouring counties are associated with fertility decline. The results highlight that the determinants of the second demographic transition (e.g. education, marital status, gender equality) are more appropriate than economic development and urbanisation to explain spatial variation in fertility change in China from 2000 to 2010. There are significant spillover effects, i.e. changes in neighbouring areas also influence fertility changes in a given region.

Les « Communs Urbains » face à la théorie de l’espace social d’Henri Lefebvre

Un texte de Renaud Lariagon à lire sur terre à terre

Résumé : "Dans le contexte d’une #urbanisation rapide, globale et soutenue par les politiques néolibérales, l’accaparement des ressources et la destruction de la #nature se sont intensifiés. Il en est de même pour les biens et les services urbains : démantèlement des services publics comme l’#éducation, privatisation des ressources comme l’#eau, brevetage des connaissances ou cession d’#espacespublics aux entreprises.
