Hunting is wiping out the prey jaguars need to survive in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Conservationists are calling for stricter enforcement and habitat reconnection. Rewilding the forest may be the only way to save the remaining jaguars. Sean Mowbray reports for #Mongabay.

Loss of prey could drive Atlantic Forest jaguars to extinction
Conserving the dwindling jaguar population in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest won’t be possible without protecting its prey. That’s the conclusion of a new study, which found that the absence of deer,…

Lina Khan helped Joe Biden set this up, but he never pushed it hard to take credit for it. Now, with Khan working for Mamdani, he's doing it for NYC residents. And actually telling them he's doing it. Good policies aren't good politics unless you take credit constantly for them.

I mean... holy shit.
From Rasmus Jarlow, Danish politician: "I don't know if there is a kill switch in the F35's or not. We obviously can not take your word for it.

As one of the decision makers behind Denmark's purchase of F35's, I regret it.

The USA can certainly disable the planes by simple stopping the supply of spare parts. They want to strengthen Russia and weaken Europa and are showing that they are willing to do tremendous damage to peaceful and loyal allies like Canada just because they insist on existing as a country.

I can easily imagine a situation where the USA will demand Greenland from Denmark and will threaten to deactivate our weapons and let Russia attack us when we refuse (which we will even in that situation).

Therefore, buying American weapons is a security risk that we can not run. We will make enormous investments in air defence, fighter jets, artillery and other weapons in the coming years, and we must avoid American weapons if at all possible.

I encourage our allies and friends to do the same."
