Hey, folks. I haven't been online much only because I've been too busy! I've just wrapped up two large projects I've been working on for months.
Here's the recording of one of them, the webinar I delivered last week, "Little Bugs in the Big City: Urban Pollinator Habitat Gardening", for the Massachusetts Pollinator Network.

#law, #climate, #science, #geopolitics, #politics, #democracy, cool stuff &… #BabySquirrel Recovering lawyer. Spending less time on world news since US voters re-elected a rapist/convicted felon, who tried to end democracy, but who Americans decided to give a mulligan, cuz democracy shlemocracy right? Occasionally I’ll come across something that I feel compelled to share, but… …these days… I've stopped my dreaming …these days I sit on corner stones & count the time in quarter tones to ten

The fleeting scene, captured by a motion‑sensitive camera, showed a young #SumatranOrangutan pause at the forest’s edge, grip a rope with deliberate care & step out into open air. Halfway across, it stopped, casting a glance down at the road below. Moments later, it crossed.
Conservationists said that it marks the first documented case of a #SumatraOrangutan using an artificial canopy bridge to cross a public road that had divided its #habitat.

“This was the moment we had been waiting for,” Erwin Alamsyah Siregar, executive director of Indonesian conservation group Tangguh Hutan Khatulistiwa, or TaHuKah, told The Associated Press. “We are very grateful that the canopy here provides benefits for orangutan #conservation efforts.”

He said that the bridge spans the Lagan–Pagindar road in Pakpak Bharat district, a vital corridor connecting remote villages to schools, healthcare & government services. But the road also cuts directly through prime #orangutan #habitat, splitting an estimated 350 #orangutans into two isolated forest areas: the Siranggas Wildlife Reserve & the Sikulaping Protection Forest.

Camera shows #SumatraOrangutan using a canopy bridge to cross a road in #Indonesia
A Sumatran orangutan has been filmed for the first time using a human-made canopy bridge to cross a public road on the Indonesian island of #Sumatra, conservationists said Monday.
Rapid development has been shrinking the #jungle #habitat of the critically #EndangeredSpecies, & fatal conflicts with people have been increasing.

Living in a small town between Gondwana rainforests and the Pacific coast. First Nations peoples, the Gumbaynggir manage/d the rich biodiversity of the Bellinger and Kalang rivers for aeons. A landscape fitting fossil fuel mobility, livestock, exotic weeds and oodles of poodles is now emerging. The diversity of life is making way for a simplified mono-culture.#Settlers and their industries cannot wait to make this another Sydney... #Bellingen #NSW #Wildlife #Biodiversity #culture #habitability

Platypuses need threatened species recognition in NSW, researcher says
"The species was only "hanging on, not thriving" in NSW and the Murray-Darling Basin."
"There's no state or national monitoring framework for platypuses...Dr Bino said platypuses had survived Australia's natural cycles for millions of years, but were now struggling to adapt to human-driven changes. We've been disrupting the natural flow regime and fragmenting and isolating platypus populations."
"Platypus are pretty much wiped out from the mainland in South Australia. They used to occur all along the Murray but that's no longer the case." >>
