Rodent-killing baits threaten small wild cats and other wildlife
Cat kills rodent. Cat eats rodent. Cat is exposed to potentially lethal rodenticides. That scenario is increasingly likely for many small wild cat species across the globe, and yet, only a handful of researchers are investigating this underrecognized conservation issue. Thus far, researchers confirmed that one wild cat population has declined from exposure to these […]

A win-win, animal crossings make roads safer for wildlife and people
Worldwide, roads act as both death traps and barriers for wildlife, fragmenting the landscapes animals need to survive. However, ecologists and engineers are working to “reconnect the wild” through the strategic construction of wildlife crossings. As Mongabay contributor Ben Goldfarb reports, structures, including underpasses and massive overpasses paired with roadside fencing, have proved highly effective […]

I took my better camera damselfly hunting today - and found quite a few; (and some ladybirds) - although some better pics were actually at a pond side I more regularly go past.
#wildlife #photography

A 'banded demoselle' damselfly sits on a broadleaf. It's wings are clear with a black blob at the back. It's body is a darkish shimmering blue with a browny red bit where the wings attach.

A common blue damselfly sits on a leaf. It's a cyan colour with black bands.

I think an Emerald Damselfly sitting on a leaf; it's dark and light green with big black eyes looking at the camera and hairy legs.

A red lady bird on some type of grass stem in a field. I count about 5 or so black spots on it.

Every dollar spent on forest fuel treatments saves $3.75 in wildfire damages, study finds
Every dollar spent on forest fuel treatments saves about $3.75 in wildfire damages, according to a new study, led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, of nearly 300 fires in the western United States. The study estimated that the treatments, such as forest thinning and prescribed burns, prevented $2.8 billion in losses, reduced wildfire spread and fire severity.
