Mit Tagebüchern über Biodiversität nachdenken
Welche Akteure kommen beim Thema Biodiversität zur Sprache? Was kann unter Biodiversität versanden werden? Eine Diskursanalyse.

In #Bedburg entsteht mit dem „Windpark Bedburg 3“ ein weiteres Projekt auf rekultivierten #Tagebauflächen.
Neun neue #Windräder mit insgesamt 60 MW Leistung werden ab 2026 Strom…

Neun weitere Anlagen mit 60 MW: Stadt Bedburg und RWE bauen weitere Windräder - Kerpen
Bedburg (red). Es ist bereits das dritte gemeinsame Windparkprojekt: RWE und die Stadt Bedburg errichten auf rekultivierten Flächen des Tagebaus Garzweiler neun weitere Windenergieanlagen mit einer Gesamtleistung von rund 60 Megawatt (MW).

"While crop seed vaults are common around the world, nurseries for wild and native plants are rare, and many plant species quietly become extinct. This marks #Gurukula out as a Noah’s ark for endangered plant species."

Bonzo Goes to Bitburg is easily a top 5 #Ramones song.
So catchy!

Negligible effects of environmental fluctuations on the maintenance of coral biodiversity: A test of five storage effects
The storage effect is a general explanation for ecological coexistence, wherein different species specialize on different states of a fluctuating environment, e.g., hot vs. cold years. Despite the storage effect's prominence in theoretical ecology, we lack evidence on whether it maintains biodiversity in nature. Here, we examine five storage effects in a community of 11 coral species from the Great Barrier Reef, using detailed size-structured demographic data collected over five years. We param…

Bangladesh protects sacred forests to strengthen biodiversity conservation
With an aim to protect biodiversity that’s become fragmented and is scattered across the country, Bangladesh is listing all the old, sacred and socially important trees and forests. The Forest Department has been collecting information from the locals in various parts of the country about locations and details of sites that are centuries-old and sacred […]

Plus de 1 500 scientifiques appellent l’Europe à combler le déficit de financement en faveur de la biodiversité
Alors que les négociations sur le budget de l’Union pour la période 2028-2034 doivent débuter, des chercheurs s’inquiètent de voir la protection de l’environnement reléguée au second rang des priorités.

When Servers Meet Species: A Fab-to-Grave Lens on Computing's Biodiversity Impact
Biodiversity loss is a critical planetary boundary, yet its connection to computing remains largely unexamined. Prior sustainability efforts in computing have focused on carbon and water, overlooking biodiversity due to the lack of appropriate metrics and modeling frameworks. This paper presents the first end-to-end analysis of biodiversity impact from computing systems. We introduce two new metrics--Embodied Biodiversity Index (EBI) and Operational Biodiversity Index (OBI)--to quantify biodive…
