Governments must prioritize nature protection, former US senator Russ Feingold says
Bill Gates recently claimed that protecting nature or improving human health is an either-or choice, but former national leaders like Russ Feingold, a retired U.S. senator, and Mary Robinson, former Irish president, disagree. As chair of the Global Steering Committee of the Campaign for Nature, a nonprofit organization uniting prominent politicians in support of nature […]

For every dollar we spend protecting nature, we spend $30 destroying it: Report
For every US$1 the world invests in protecting nature, it spends US$30 on destroying it. This stark imbalance is the central finding of a new UN Environment Program (UNEP) report released today. It calls for a major shift in global financing of nature-based solutions and phasing out harmful investments to deliver high returns, reduce risk exposure, and enhance resilience.

7 hopeful wildlife sightings that researchers celebrated in 2025
Once in a while, an animal shows up where it’s least expected, including places from where it was thought to have gone extinct. These rare sightings bring hope — but also fresh concerns. These are some of the wildlife sightings Mongabay reported on in 2025. Colossal squid recorded for the first time in its deep-sea […]

"EU seeks to exploit nature-based products for competitiveness push, green groups say"

EU bets on nature-based products to increase domestic competitiveness
Nature-based products such as biofuels and bioplastics will be looked to as drivers of green growth under a recently announced bioeconomy strategy, but critics are wary of overexploitation.

Almost exactly 2 years ago when it was below -16°C.
This was a real cool experience - literally.
But I'm just so glad that I went there. I think, this waterfall isn't frozen like that so often. So I was just really lucky to be at the right time at the right spot.
And now - enjoy your weekend 😉

Peatland restoration can deliver climate mitigation benefits within a few decades
New research indicates that restoration of peatlands can result in climate mitigation within just a few decades. In Finland, some 60,000 hectares of previously forestry-drained peatlands have already been restored, comprising mainly nutrient-poor sites with weak tree growth. In such cases, peatland plants remain viable and react rapidly to restoration, resulting in the formation of a thick new layer of Sphagnum moss.

Some species officially bid us farewell this year.

We may never see another individual of these species ever again. Or will we? Slender-billed curlew This […]

Involuntary parks: Human conflict is creating unintended refuges for wildlife
Few locations on Earth are as haunting or deeply ironic as so-called involuntary parks — places too toxic, dangerous, or otherwise made off-limits for human habitation, but which have paradoxically and unintentionally become sanctuaries for wildlife in our absence. As the name coined by science fiction author Bruce Sterling suggests, involuntary parks weren’t established for […]

Study warns of major funding gap for 30x30 biodiversity goal
A new report warns that international funding for the global 30x30 biodiversity goal is rising but still billions short. Despite a 150% increase since 2014, support for protected areas in developing nations remains far below the $6B annually needed by 2030, leaving major regional gaps and heavy reliance on a few donors.

"Germany’s dying forests are losing their ability to absorb CO2. Can a new way of planting save them?"
#Germany #Forests #Nature

Sunday: 2°C outside (felt like -1) and figured it was a good time for a hike in the woods, hills, and fields of #Bavaria on a trail I've been eyeing for a couple of years now. Muddy trails for about half the distance but easily negotiated.🚶‍♂️🌲
Would've liked if the walk was longer but 10.7kms felt good, especially after a 2-month break in any such activity.

"Biodiversity Improves Tree Defenses Against Hungry Herbivores"
#Biodiversity #Trees #Nature #Environment

Biodiversity Improves Tree Defenses Against Hungry Herbivores | Happy Eco News
Biodiversity improves tree defenses through associational resistance. Tree seedlings in 15-species plots resisted deer and insect attacks better than monocultures. Selective browsing on competitive species and protection from unpalatable neighbors drove the benefit. The findings highlight how herbivores shape forest composition, resilience, and biodiversity’s protective power.
