Nations vs Nature: We describe cases of nation states transgressing environmental laws in name of #NationalSecurity, & make a call to action against misplaced power, w/@anweshadatta @MZmihorski @WNborderlands Dinah Bear & Bogdan Jaroszewicz @ConBiology conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…

Threats to conservation from national security interests

There is a growing trend of nation states invoking national security and emergency declarations to build state-sponsored infrastructure projects for border defense, energy production, and transport...

Instead of emphasizing how Europe needs migration and proposing smarter migration-friendly policies and support systems for migrants, centrist @donaldtusk has gone way of the far right w/ a "Poland doesn't want to be France" narrative—disappointing. europeanrelations.com/europe…

Europe Needs Migration. It Is Time We Admit It.

Europe needs migration. If it wants to remain prosperous as its population ages, it must stop treating migration…

Polska nie powtórzy błędów innych europejskich państw, nie będzie też za nie płacić. Twardo bronimy granicy przed nielegalną migracją, mamy własną politykę azylową (nie przyjmujemy wniosków), deportujemy tych, którzy łamią polskie prawo. W kwestii bezpieczeństwa będziemy bezwzględni. To usłyszeli ode mnie liderzy Europy w Brukseli.

Zaraz wysyp "speców" od pożarów i rezerwatów, mędrców od zbierania chrustu i miłośników piły. I pół dnia zejdzie na tłumaczeniu, że w rezerwacie martwe drewno być musi, bo chronimy tam nie widoczki a naturalne procesy. Choćby się paliło. Pożar w Puszczy Białowieskiej. Ugaszony.

Spłonęły 2 ha lasu w Puszczy Białowieskiej w rezerwacie Kozłowe Borki, położonym w widłach rzek Leśna Lewa i Perebel, w strefie no-go ze względu na ochronę granicy. To mniej niż 1% powierzchni rezerwatu. Niegdyś pożary były częścią naturalnych przemian w P. Białowieskiej.

Interesting piece discussing the costs of planning for connectivity. I am not sure about whether some of these costs are real (e.g. genetic homogenization) but also not sure the benefits are always there. Connecting over strong barriers like linear infrastructure does matter.

Bialowieza Forest was once protected by virtue of its isolation on the fringes of Europe. Yet the silence of the forest- along with its incredible biodiversity- are now being disturbed by the militarization along the #Poland -#Belarus border 🔎 f24.my/BW3W.X w/ @katzyna

Poland’s militarisation of the border zone with Belarus is threatening the exceptional biodiversity of Europe’s last primeval forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. Human relationships with…

I opt for Bluesky now but came back here to quote @AntonJaegermm, "By focusing on #defense at the expense of all else, it risks taking the #EU not forward but backward...breakneck rearmament could well amount to a historic mistake." #militarization #ArmsIndustry #OttawaConvention

In my lifetime I think I have not seen anything as stupid as this 5% target that EU leaders are committing to defense. Fear of Russia has been well leveraged by the armament lobby. Must read @nytimes piece on why this target won’t work. nytimes.com/2025/06/30/opini…

The Guardian publikuje duży materiał o badaniach @katzyna (gratulacje!) prowadzonych u nas w @mriBialowieza - świetna promocja roli nauki, ekologii w szczególności, w kryzysach granicznych i szukaniu działań łagodzących. CC @PAN_akademia @MNiSW_GOV__PL Jest również idea Peace Corridors, ten wątek polecam Panom Ministrom @DorozalaMikolaj , @MaciekDuszczyk i @czeslawmroczek Link w komentarzu

The missing lynx: how the rise of border walls has split up wildlife populations

In an age of growing hostility to migrants, there are 10 times more barriers on borders than when the Berlin Wall fell. But as well as the human cost, animals are unintended victims

While everyone’s attention is being zapped away by all the Chaos of Trump, this study was published today, on catastrophic losses in butterfly species abundance across the US. “Between 2000 and 2020, total butterfly abundance fell by 22% across the 554 recorded species.” 😔
