Painting of a dark blue creek with some brown rocks, with a pink glow over them, in it. Further back there are touches of purple in the water. The soil on both sides of the creek is covered with snow. The snow has a glow over it in shades of blue, purple, yellow and pink. On the right are three leaveless trees. On the left are some green trees. In the background is a row of green trees. The sky is coloured in soft shades of pink, yellow and orange.

#art #landscape #ocean #nature #trees
Painting of the village Bellano at Lake Como in Italy. The lake is below in the paintings and is dark blue with hints of green, turquoise and yellow in it. On the shore are a couple of big light brown houses with orange roofs. Around them and in between them are green trees. Behind the village is a hill, covered with trees in various shades of green and some blue.

#ClimateChange mitigation.

Wrong idea - The tech heads talk of constructing Carbon Capture machines. That would require hundreds of thousands of machines, more mining, more power consumption #fail

Right approach #nature

But, the photo of another deforested landscape. This is not wetland, Tree's used to & would grow here. Sheep keep it looking like this.

Photo taken in #Sheep District National Park, #England (officially called the Lake District National park)

#ClimateAction #ClimatePolicy
The photo shows a stream running through a deforested landscape. The only place where the odd tree grows is where humans or sheep couldn't get to them (e.g., on the vertical rocky crags). As Tree's grow they capture carbon. To mitigate climate change we need to use solutions, big & small, that don't emit & or sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide

Have you ever noticed the various colors of different oceans? This is under the Juno Pier in South Florida on the Atlantic. Every picture I have taken there, the water is a beautiful blue or as someone suggested it’s more of an aquamarine blue.

Catastrophic climate 'doom loops' could start in just 15 years, new study warns

A new study of climate "tipping points," such as the loss of the Amazon rainforest or the collapse of the Greenland ice sheet, could come within a human lifetime, scientists have said.

Painting of a blue a white coloured stream. On the left the soil is covered with grass in several shades of green. There are some thin trees with brown trunks and little light yellow leaves. On the right is a grey and blue coloured quay, with some green bushes on it. In the background through the trees you see more blue water and the shape of blue mountains. The sky is light blue.

Brief #Introduction, since it seems to be the etiquette around here. Hi! I'm Mel, a PGR at QMUL researching abortion policy implementation in subnational Argentina, through lenses of various geographies, #policy and subnational studies, and literature on #feminist #activism. Expect toots both in #Spanish and #English. Alongside #academicchatter, expect pictures and commentary on #popculture, #cats, #nature and #food, as needed.

Red Squirrel.

It was a change for me to watch a few of these in a deciduous woodland. They're so often photographed in pine or fir tree forests.

Made for rather autumnal colours behind the squirrel, as it sat on a stump, eating a nut.

Usually when I see the Northern Cardinal they are generally at a distance and fly away if I approach.

One day I was visited by this cardinal who flew in very close to me to the point where I didn't even have to zoom in on him because it was that close.

I took this as a visit from a loved one from heaven and reminded me of the following quote "Hope is seeing the light, despite all the darkness"

Many can identify with life being challenging. Which brings to mind the 1.5 mile hike to Crabtree Falls in NC. Listed as easy/moderate. Rain the day earlier made the rocks slick & mud on trail difficult. The Fall foliage cradling the cascading waters was pure Zen. To all currently on life's difficult trail, may you find inner peace.

Relevant to my previous post, here is another article about the tragic ongoing loss of biodiversity.

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.

Biodiversity: State of Emergency

The IPBES, which is to biodiversity what the IPCC is to climate change, recently published five reports at its sixth plenary session held in March in Medellín, Colombia.

A new year-long project of photographing a large country park has begun. It's a daunting task as the area is rich in wildlife and flora, and includes several large reservoirs, so in sweltering heat I started small in one of the many meadows. Please click for full views.

A Peacock Royal (Tajuria cippus) spotted at Bukit Gombak Park, Singapore, on 10 June 2023. The hint of blue seen on the upperwing near the tail shows that this one is a male.

"The Forest" is an illustration thinking about the fauna & flora of the natural park of Montejunto in Portugal. There is a small exhibition in Santarém and all the sales revert to the wildlife recovery center of Montejunto 😀
If you're in Portugal come visit!

Have you ever thought about visiting all of the national parks in the U.S. in one epic road trip?

In 2016, data scientist Randy Olson optimized the route of 14,498 miles (23,333 km) which would take 2+ months. He even designed the journey as a circle so you can begin at any point & direction.

Once upon a time, ~40M years ago, there was a species of penguin that was 6'8" (2m) tall & 250 lbs (115kg) called Palaeeudyptes klekowskii, also known as the ‘mega penguin’ https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25990-extinct-mega-penguin-was-tallest-and-heaviest-ever/ #science #history #nature #SharedPlanet

A fossil foot bone found in Antarctica suggests that one extinct species of penguin was a true giant, clocking in at 115 kilograms
