Why cities are becoming an unlikely refuge for wildflowers | The Optimist Daily
Britain has lost 97% of its wildflower meadows. Now cities, with their stressed soils and forgotten corners, may be where wildflowers stage their comeback.

Support local people to protect world's nature, new report urges, as deadline for global conservation target looms
For better or worse, a huge number of people will be affected by efforts to achieve "30x30"—the internationally-agreed conservation goal to protect and conserve at least 30% of the world's land and seas by 2030. How many people, and who they are, will depend on which aspects of nature are prioritized for protection—but in all scenarios, this human context must be a key consideration if plans are to succeed for both people and nature.

Nature might have a universal rhythm
Animal communication can look wildly different—flashing lights, chirping calls, croaking songs and elaborate dances. But new research from Northwestern University suggests many of these signals share a surprising feature: They repeat at nearly the same tempo.

Defensive rewilding could turn wetlands and forests into border barriers
Restoring forests, wetlands and peatlands could help defend national borders as well as tackle climate change, according to new research from the University of East London (UEL). The study introduces the concept of "defensive rewilding"—the intentional, pre- or mid-conflict restoration of ecosystems to shape terrain in ways that can slow, redirect or impede military advances, while delivering environmental benefits.

6.5kms morning walk today. Still 40% slower than normal but the goal was to increase distance while reducing discomfort, which I did by focusing on just walking; not looking around (which causes discomfort).
