And everything is #eatable! As salad, vegetable, caper substitution, flower honey, flower liqueur ...
Once you could hear the sound of koalas -
"all you hear is trucks now..."
Destruction of koala habitat through sprawl, roads and dogs
"Almost 2m hectares of forests suitable for koalas have been destroyed since 2011. They are one of more than 2,000 Australian species listed as under threat in what scientists are calling an extinction crisis." >>

"This is a fantastic video, it's about the relatively recent and vital discovery of the importance of biofilm, that green slime on the surface of mudflats.
It seems that this substance is invaluable to migrating waders and, in this case, particularly to the delightful Western Sandpiper, a declining species. The video highlights their reliance on this food source for their very survival. Without it, they would be malnourished, meaning most would not be able to complete their migration and many would simply die. This would cause a decline in the population since, as a species. they would not be able to breed in sufficient numbers to maintain the population, which ultimately could lead to their extinction. Roberts Bank in British Columbia, Canada is a globally classified Important Bird Area and a key stopover for Western Sandpipers. Distressingly, its mudflats and their biofilm covering, are threatened by the proposed expansion of the Fraser Port Authority, the so-called Roberts Bank T-2 development. If allowed to go ahead this would mean additional significant habitat loss that would further endanger the species. This situation typifies a wider crisis affecting waders across the planet, highlighting the urgent need for collaboration among researchers, conservationists, and communities to protect these vital ecosystems, and the species that use them, which are becoming increasingly at risk of extinction."

#Arum plants start to flower. At the right Arum maculatum + Arum immaculatum (more in alt txt). Birds eat the seeds at the edge of the forest and plant them with their droppings into the gardens.

On the way home earlier, I paid attention to the mountain roads with their bends, the cyclists and hikers, and at the same time, recognised a #dragonfly at the edge of the forest. Today I'm really happy with my brain.

How is conservation preparing for a much hotter world?
“After centuries of destruction — deforestation, species extinction, wildlife decline — it would be something to build an age of restoration.
We’re not anywhere near that yet, but many conservationists are now using the tools of restoration…in hopes that it will also build resilience in a hotter, less forgiving world.”

A new study by François Keck et al. reveals that human pressures reshape #biodiversity, but don’t always lead to global homogenization. Instead, impacts vary by scale, ecosystem, and type of disturbance.

Humans constantly change and even destroy #ecosystems - what happens then? It's called 'novel ecosystems'. "They now exist as self-sustaining systems. These are wild but changed ecosystems. They have passed some critical threshold which means they are unlikely to ever go back to how they were before." #Hawaii has become a laboratory for #ecologists to study such "freakosystems": https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250403-the-new-hawaiian-freakosystem-emerging-on-oahu-accidentally-created-by-humans
