#NativeGardenDesign in #Australia: A 2026 Guide How to design a native Australian garden the right way — climate zones, the 5 native garden styles, plant categories, common mistakes, and what it costs in 2026. 17 April 2026 Excerpt: "Why design native (the practical case) - #WaterConsumption. A well-established native garden needs roughly 30-60% less supplemental water than an equivalent ornamental scheme. In #drought-restricted areas, this is the difference between a garden that survives summer and one that doesn't. - Climate match. Indigenous species evolved with your specific climate. They handle your typical heatwaves, frost events, soil pH, and rainfall pattern without intervention. - #Biodiversity. Indigenous plants support indigenous insects (which feed birds, lizards, small mammals), provide nectar for #NativeBees and #honeyeaters, and offer nesting habitat. A 12-month-old native garden is visibly more biologically active than a typical ornamental scheme. - Lower input over time. Less feeding, less spraying, less ongoing intervention once established (typically 12-24 months). - #Bushfire considerations. Some native species (low-flammability plants) are actively recommended in bushfire-prone areas; others (high-oil species) should be avoided or kept away from structures. Native ≠ automatically fire-safe; design matters."

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Researchers in #Brazil reconstructed 3.3 million years of #tropical #vegetation #history and projected changes by 2050. They found that #climatechange could produce #ecosystem shifts within decades that took millions of years to unfold naturally. Species that evolved in stable tropical refuges, including much of the Malay #Archipelago, face the highest risk from this compression of change over time. 👉 https://theconversation.com/impact-of-climate-change-may-be-equivalent-to-3-3-million-years-of-transformations-in-tropical-vegetation-288073 #climate #amazon #biodiversity #deforestation #globalwarming #ecology #science #ufmg #machinelearning #conservation

I was just looking in my photos where I found this one , I just remembered, it was a boy from the village with much love towards #envirinment , he watered the crops, the thing that makes me wonder is that this boy is just a neighbour's boy not one of us . We struggle to emphasize the ones with the chance yet they are others who don't have any chance but would like to get one So that's life BOOSTS WELCOME #mastodon #agriculture #envirinment #food #biodiversity

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

#Dandelions are vital to bees. Vast flowering season - February to November around here. Nectar/pollen for hungry #bees/#hoverflies/#butterflies among others. Cherish them.

With the climate crisis clearly getting worse year on year, these long dry summers mean more and bigger wildfires. What does this mean for British woodlands and other fragile ecosystems, as is there anything we can do to limit the size of wildfires in the future. #Biodiversity #Rewilding #Wildfire #ClimateCrisis https://protect.earth/articles/what-do-wildfires-mean-for-british-woodlands/

Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

Bees visit #flowers for nectar and pollen. Nectar provides energy and nutrients. Pollen is a source of protein that is mostly fed to their young.

The latest edition of the #PBS News show Horizons has an excellent piece on a science study published in Nature last month that found that over half of migratory birds globally are now in decline. Most of the show is a thoughtful interview with the lead author of that research, Peter Marra. The interview is quite sobering, although I appreciate Peter's hopeful response that birds have rebounded from stupid things we've done before (over-hunting of egrets and herons for feathers for hats, and widespread use of DDT insecticides on farms). Watch to the end for information on another recent science study showing that bird watching is good for our brains. 😀 I've also put a link below to an article on #TheConversation that Peter wrote with a co-author about their migratory bird research. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/video/horizons/2026/07/the-alarming-decline-of-bird-populations-and-why-humans-should-care https://theconversation.com/more-than-half-of-earths-migratory-bird-species-are-declining-heres-how-we-can-still-save-them-287947 #birds #conservation #MigratoryBirds #nature #biodiversity

How to stitch a massive wildlife corridor through the Rocky Mountains "The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) is trying to create a giant corridor across the Rocky Mountains from the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem in the U.S. to Canada’s Yukon Territory in the north, stretching 3,400 kilometers (2,100 miles) and spanning five U.S. states, two Canadian provinces and at least 75 Indigenous territories." "The conservation world is now prioritizing connectivity, recognizing the critical need to re-link the landscape to allow animals to move to find food, water, a mate — or migrate." https://news.mongabay.com/2026/07/how-to-stitch-a-massive-wildlife-corridor-through-the-rocky-mountains #Wildlife #Conservation #Biodiversity #Environment
