@nzecology joined nine other societies to call on the govt to slow the pace of these changes and consult more widely:

Great event #Phantomorthoptera by @WildlifeAcoust on the sounds critters make. Who knew male crickets climb up high grasses and point themselves downwards so their Stridulation sound is broadcast more clearly to the hopefully nearby female 😉

I just endorsed the campaign for a #FossilFuelTreaty — calling for a new international mechanism to manage a global just transition - accelerating an equitable shift away from fossil fuels.

I had never stopped to think about how long seabirds like these lived. I knew albatross can live to around 70 years. Makes you think about the damage introduced cats do to #NZ #native #birds in their 20 year life span.
Over the weekend one of our members read the numbers on bands on live birds that we had banded, and found quite astonishing longevity, a White Fronted Tern is now 25 years 4 months and 4 days old, while a Black Billed Gull is now 27 years 4 months and 7 days @DavidLawrie52
