Og der var myrsnipa globalt rødlistet. Vår naturlige verden forvitrer. Økosystemene er redusert med 47 prosent. @Regjeringen leverer ikke ny politikk, bare mer krig mot livsgrunnlaget. Vi fortviler. Kan #COP16Colombia gi oss LITT håp? @BirdLifeEurope

🚨BREAKING Red List Update: migratory shorebird populations are plummeting globally ⚠️ 📉
16 species have been reclassified to higher threat categories, with potential causes including habitat loss and degradation, disturbance, hunting and climate change.
Travelling the world on migration routes called flyways, shorebirds are a familiar sight. Protecting shorebirds is vital for all of us. The places migratory birds stop and rest on their long journeys are important for millions of people.
CBD COP16 is the moment to galvanise action to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. 🤝
Nature loss can be reversed but extinctions cannot.❌

Researchers gave mealworms dusted with probiotic powder to wild great tits to feed to their nestlings, after first isolating the bacteria Lactobacillus kimchicus from the birds’ fecal material. Nestlings who received the supplement gained weight faster. ow.ly/igC850TO6Yo

Om vi ikke redder villaksen nå, er det for sent. Null lakselus fra oppdrettslaks er løsningen.

And so it begins... Super happy to welcome @FreyaJC 🏴 who is just getting started as a PhD candidate in our group. After her MSc at Glasgow she'll be working on birds-invertebrates interactions in changing environments. Looking forward to this new adventure!
Time flies... lucky to have had enthusiastic students around up until the summer 🤩 Congrats to Kristine & Tomas on their MSc degrees, and thanks to interns Coline & Paul who were a nice addition to the field and lab teams - best of luck in your respective masters!

Un message de Roberta Metsola pour la Journée internationale du Parlamentarisme.
"Les parlements offrent au plus grand nombre l'espoir d'unir leur voix, pour dialoguer et façonner un avenir commun.
Tout comme le Parlement européen contribue à fixer le cap pour notre continent."

EU leaders proposed Ursula von der Leyen as the candidate for President of the @EU_Commission.
Now it is the turn of the European Parliament, which must elect the new Commission President by an absolute majority of its members.

Ai emmené mes stagiaires français à la permanence consulaire pour faire valider leurs procurations. À 8h du matin il y avait déjà la queue... étudiants et touristes confondus, ambiance optimiste
Nous sommes nombreux dans ma génération à venir de la campagne (merci l'école et Erasmus) et y avoir nos familles et anciens copains. C'est là qu'il faut rappeler comment les extrêmes peuvent mettre par terre tout le boulot depuis 40 ans. Il n'est pas trop tard! (1/3)
Jura par ex: on vend du Comté dans toute l'UE. On attire le tourisme vert, ça fait des emplois tout en protégeant la biodiversité. On a besoin plus que les citadins d'un pays en bonne santé économique et de l'UE. (2/3)
