Zoo Experts Hatch Eight Rare Dove Chicks in Bid to Save Extinct Species
Chester Zoo cares for two breeding pairs and the chicks will bolster the insurance population of Socorro doves.

Mir wird DIE ZEIT ja schon seit längerem immer etwas fremder. Aber gut, man entwickelt sich und vielleicht verkläre ich die Zeitung "von früher" auch nur nostalgisch. Bisher war ich froh, dass es sie als Stimme gibt.
Aber bei einem der wichtigsten Themen überhaupt - der Zukunft unserer Demokratie - wirkt allein schon die Bildsprache inzwischen so plump und ungelenk wie vom TikTok Clickbait-Slop abgeschaut. Die Zeitung und der Diskurs brauchen solche Dämlichkeiten nicht.

Good Morning #Canada
Conservationists who focus on restoration of wetlands are increasingly "Leaving It To Beaver." Beavers are considered the ultimate Keystone Species because they area they re-engineer offer benefits to many other species, and an entire ecosystem can collapse if a Beaver is removed. A Beaver dam doesn't just hold and conserve water. Beavers increase the population of frogs, fish, insects, birds, and small mammals and extend the range of larger mammals like moose, deer, and bears. The quantity and variety of vegetation are increased. Water is filtered and saturates the land, refilling artesian wells. It's unbelievable that we almost lost this amazing creature because of a hat fashion trend.

What goes up must come down: How megaconstellations like SpaceX's Starlink network pose a grave safety threat to us on Earth
Thousands of satellites with incredibly short lifetimes are being sent up into low Earth orbit. When they fall back down they're fireballs of pollution — and what doesn't burn up hits the ground.

Consider: we came fairly close to extincting the various species crucial to this cycle *AND STILL COULD.*
The problem today isn’t the ongoing symbolic & subsistence whaling, it is that we have ravaged the ocean ecosystem in ways we don’t understand, such as noise pollution.
We really don’t understand enough about the subsystems of the oceans to be fucking with them in the ways we have been during the past century.
