Suite à la journée thématique "alternative à la propriété privée" du 23 novembre 2024, nous vous invitons à nous rencontrer à la présentation d'un cas concret - celui du projet de rachat de la Ferme de Tourinnes à Tourinnes saint Lambert (BE)
La Ferme vous accueille pour une soirée d’information et de discussion, introduite par la projection d'un film-documentaire portant sur des alternatives concrètes à la propriété privée et... l'avenir de La Ferme de Tourinnes!
Wakes up from post-renaturing siesta before 11pm.
Came home with a clump of yarrow liberated by our 'weeding' at the base of the bee mound. It''s destined for a small patch of semi-arid substrate recently created in between some of the pre-cast concrete sections scattered at the back of the #allotment.

#habitat
El Dr. Richard Bartle: co-creador de #MUD (Calabozo Multiusuario), diseñador y teórico del cómputo. Randy Farmer: co-creador de #Habitat, el primer mundo virtual de gráficos computados (y mas, cosas) y Pavel Curtis: impulsor de la comunidad del mundo virtual basado en texto #LambdaMOO.
@maudeuxcreations le scientifique de l'interview n'a pas prononcé une seule fois le mot "habitat" ou "habitat naturel" durant l'interview (si je ne me trompe pas).
Je suis très curieux de trouver des vues d'artistes/illustrateurs scientifique sur une telle notion ??!!

Koala filmed drinking on a rural road had to be euthanised
"Koalas that come down to the ground to seek out water are typically suffering from bad health issues. The iconic animal was recently spotted by a driver hovering over the ground and using its tongue to lick moisture off the bitumen."

“It really shows that we have a unique place in #Michigan where someone has a chance to see a #wolf, a #moose & a #cougar in the #wild. It’s something that should be celebrated, that we have the #habitat to support an elusive animal like this,”Roell said.
The cubs were spotted & photographed without their mother. #CougarCubs are highly dependent on their mothers, often staying with them for the first two years of life.

My first @peertube video!
A short recording in slow-motion of the activity of a nesting aggregation of ground-nesting bees, Colletes thoracicus, the Rufous-backed Cellophane Bee, along my driveway at the end of April 2024. I have been monitoring and observing this population since 2008.

Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit
“A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.”

The Mediterranean Sea is abused as a rubbish dump
"Human-caused marine debris has already reached the deepest point in the Mediterranean Sea. We have also found evidence of the boats' dumping of bags full of rubbish, as revealed by the pile-up of different types of waste followed by an almost rectilinear furrow. Unfortunately, as far as the Mediterranean is concerned, it would not be wrong to say that 'not a single inch of it is clean."

#Butterflies in the #US are disappearing at a ‘catastrophic’ rate
Butterflies are rapidly fluttering out of existence from coast to coast at a rate that scientists worry could upend #ecosystems & undercut #pollination that sustains America’s #crops.
The total number of butterflies in the contiguous US has declined 22% over a 20yr period, as shrinking #habitat, rising #temperatures & a #toxic array of #pesticides kill off the delicate insects.

"Amphibians are the world's most at-risk vertebrates, with more than 40% of species listed as threatened—and losing entire populations could have catastrophic flow-on effects.
Being ectothermic—regulating their body heat by external sources—amphibians are particularly vulnerable to temperature change in their habitats".

We got a new paper (Led by Ole Sørensen) out! Outlining a new #seafloor #habitat management workflow, integrating the awesome capabilities (cm-scale resolution) synthetic aperture #sonar now brings to #ecological mapping of #marine biomes.

The fact that this hawk was perched in a eucalyptus tree is interesting, since these trees are not native to California but have become a common sight throughout the state. In fact, some people have raised concerns about the impact of eucalyptus trees on local ecosystems, since they can crowd out native plants and animals. But it seems like this particular hawk has found a way to make the most of it!
Recently Hill Wood Pasture has been identified as an important historic farmed habitat. In the Cheviots there would have been Juniper on the higher ground, then Ash/Birch lower down and finally Alder in the valley floor. Here's one of the few surviving Northumbrian examples, some Juniper on the hill and Alder in the valley floor. Cattle would've grazed the pasture around these trees, protected from the worst of the weather.

Hi #sciencemastadon, just migrated to social.edu.nl. A re-introduction: I'm a researcher working at Wageningen University and Research (#wur), studying the #ecology of #marinemammals (mostly #seals) in the Netherlands or #arctic, analysing #spatial distribution and #habitat selection based on #wildlife #tracking or #drone/ #uav/ #satellite data using #rstats
Also interested in human #behavioural ecology and alternative economic systems like #degrowth/ #postgrowth
Below movie of our research
