Alouette lulu (Lullula arborea)
De la taille d'un Moineau, s'il n'est pas facile à voir, son chant est facile à reconnaître : deux notes répétées en longues phrases ondulantes et en décrescendo. Elle peut chanter aussi bien en vol que perchée. Pour certains bergers des Causses, c'est l'oiseau qui annonce le printemps. Dans le Lunellois, nous avons la chance de l'entendre toute l'année (en hiver, notre région méditerranéenne accueille les Alouettes du nord de l'Europe). Semble préférer les espaces ouverts, entrecoupés d'arbres. Se nourrit au sol, d'insectes ou des graines, selon l'opportunité, la saison…

TITLE -- "Biodiversity: State of Emergency"

Key points:

◘ By 2050, 38-46% of animal and plant species could be wiped out from the planet.

◘ Of particular concern are Central and South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia, which are more vulnerable to soil impoverishment.

◘ Within 30 years, the number of people living in arid regions could rise from 2.7 to 4 billion, increasing the risk of migration crises.

◘ Land degradation and climate change, leading to declining crop yields and social and economic instability, are likely to force 50-700 million people to migrate by the middle of the century.

In so many ways, it’s easier, more fun, and more tangible than dealing with climate. You can so often see the direct benefits of your actions. I recommend to everyone to learn a little and do a little. I’m sure you’ll end up loving what you try. And it’ll help with climate too.


If you're in #Montreal for the #biodiversity #COP15 , please let me know! I'm not badged, but this is my hometown. I'm always interested in meeting people working in the field. The Open Source non-profit I work for, Open Earth Foundation, has a number of projects in the biodiversity space.
