Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Absolute nonsense statement 🙄 96% of Australians want more action for protecting & restoring nature Govts should do their job Nature is a public good & should be funded through tax & spend A position of needing to 'incentivise' govts to do their job is neoliberal, free market brainrot

Centre-right pro-fossil governments in Australia will only take one lesson from this: you can hold any piece of policy hostage for the purpose fattening the already bloated wallets of sleazy carbon traders and worsening the scammy fake regulation of the worst polluters. Absolutely grim shit.

In a practitioner's perspective @jappliedecology.bsky.social, we draw on experiences from other securitized borders to propose "wildlife border passages" to help wildlife move in Białowieża Forest World Heritage Site, shared by Poland and Belarus. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our graphical abstract with suggested measures to improve permeability and wildlife movement across the Polish-Belarusian border such as opening of existing gates in the state border barriers, creation of openings at the base of barriers for medium-sized mammals such as lynx, corridors across river valleys, and passages in open habitats.

For two years it was considered libellous to suggest that Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli military. This admission is part of a long-reaching pattern: deny the incident, muddy the waters, and then, some time later, and only with sustained pressure, admit to it. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Looking at my tax return, thousands of $$ handed to a corrupt foreign government for obsolete killing machines (to protect us from our main trading partner) that will never eventuate. Peanuts for environment as thousands of birds die suffering on our beaches and we are told to simply watch on. 😭😭
