A Legacy of Love for Nature
In October, the European Parliament will vote on a report calling for an "EU cormorant management plan". In plain text this means, controlling their population through lethal measures. Here are 5 reasons why this plan is not a good solution.
We’ve written before about how we should basically stop burning stuff, right? It seems that common sense is only for the birds. It looks like the European Union is on course for another decade of burning biodiversity and carbon stocks, all in the name of renewables. Great! With our planet being on the verge of collapse this is what we were all waiting for.
Through the voices of our local Partners, our series “of clearcuts and birds” tells some of the stories of Finnish, Estonian and Latvian forests and of their incredible biodiversity, as well as the hard consequences of their exploitations, (in)directly driven by the EU’s support for bioenergy.
We talk to Dr Simon Butler, Professor of Biology at the University of East Anglia, UK, about a pioneering study that analyses how spring bird song has changed over the past 25 years – and why it matters.
On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded the territory of Ukraine. This threatened not only Ukraine's population but also biodiversity, including a significant number of rare and globally vulnerable bird species.
Every year, millions of seabirds travel to the Baltic Sea for the winter. But this is not a journey without peril. For those in the know, this region is infamous for being a global hotspot for seabird bycatch. The main culprit being gillnets. But the Lithuanian government is diving deep into murky waters to keep their bycatch problem a secret.
The latest heatwave hitting our continent has resulted in more fires than usual breaking out especially across the south-west of Europe and the Mediterranean.
Our food system, the ways in which we produce food, is in grave danger due to both the climate crisis, and the alarming rate biodiversity is being wiped out. Shifting towards different consumption patterns is crucial not just for our food system, but in order to stop overstepping (or better, overeating) our planetary boundaries.
