'We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.' Albert Einstein It is always our attempt to learn more about nature, as a nature enthusiast I try not to miss any chance regarding this. Interesting online conference, many talks and studies were shared about long term bird monitoring and the role of some?citizen science efforts. Inspiring work by researchers and birding enthusiasts. An informative symposium, touching topics related to water birds to raptors,?scientific research on bird monitoring to traditional conservation practices which?are now using technology to accentuate local communities participation. The effect of climate change and other anthropogenic pressures were shared in these sessions.

Nature is declining globally at an unprecedented rate. The primary driver of extinction is human land-use change, over half of which is to make way for agriculture. Over one million plant and animal #species are predicted to face extinction in the coming decades – however, most extinctions seem to go unnoticed by many of us. In this video publish by Natural History Museum, discover the importance of museum collections in understanding and preventing the #extinction of organisms that form the bedrock of our #ecosystems, and why it should matter to us all. https://lnkd.in/g_Q2JEYx

Happy World Oceans Day???? Ever heard of the topic Environmental DNA otherwise known as eDNA and how scientists discover marine species that are unidentified, migratory or endangered? Today we shed light on the role of eDNA in the marine ecosystem.???? As we celebrate World Oceans Day, let us Awaken New Depths of the oceans.?? #WorldOceansDay #Oceans #MarineEcosystem #eDNA #Biodiversity #EndangeredSpecies #UnidentifiedSpecies #UnknownSpecies

All life on Earth depends on healthy biodiverse ecosystems and the life supporting services they provide. in 2007 Sir David Attenborough tried to warn us about overpopulation... We have ignored him and continued to decimate nature, biodiversity and ecosystems to the point where human survival is on the edge of an Abyss. https://lnkd.in/emmNVxA2

DYK AquaPLAN is quantifying the impacts of light & noise pollution (LNP) on patterns of #biodiversity across key taxa including zooplankton? We will study the impact of LNP on diel vertical migration (DVM) & community composition in marine & freshwater habitats ?? ?? ?? ?? ???

Did you know that all living things leave traces of their DNA ?? in the environment? This environmental DNA (eDNA) can come from shedded skin, hair, and bodily excretions of living individuals, as well as decaying living matter. In seawater, eDNA doesn't stick around for long. So by taking water samples and extracting the eDNA using a filter, we'll be able to identify which species were present along our Arctic sailing route to create a snapshot in time of the local ocean biodiversity. The really exciting part about this technique, is that it can show us what we can't see with our eyes - elusive species, species under the surface, and what we might have missed in poor weather conditions. Our samples are being collected and analysed in partnership ?? with NatureMetrics - a global nature intelligence technology company that's making biodiversity monitoring simple and easy, enabling businesses to manage their impacts and dependencies on biodiversity, at scale. The Arctic is an understudied area, and the data we're collecting will help researchers build a picture of how Arctic biodiversity is being affected by climate change and other stressors.

Every 10 minutes, one species on planet Earth goes extinct. Experts believe that the current rate of species extinction is between 1’000 and 10’000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. This mass extinction, known as the 6th extinction crisis, is the first one caused by a single species – humans.

Zooplankton form part of the base of the Mediterranean Sea's food web, playing an essential role in the energy flow that's required to maintain balance in this marine ecosystem. ?????? ?? And that’s not all they do! Zooplankton are sensitive indicators of ecosystem health, responding quickly to nutrient changes. Scientists study them to better understand the impacts of pollution and climate change on our ocean, and international experts recently launched a call for plankton-based solutions to address the triple planetary crisis of biodiversity, climate and pollution: https://ow.ly/76fW50U3cPZ ??

?? Imagine stepping into the verdant embrace of a rainforest, where each layer holds secrets and stories of life. From the towering emergent layer filled with eagles and monkeys to the whispering understory where jaguars roam, the anatomy of a rainforest reveals a complex tapestry of biodiversity. These ecosystems act as the lungs of our planet, constantly nourishing life by absorbing carbon dioxide and generating oxygen. Unfortunately, they face unprecedented threats from deforestation and climate change. The urgent call to preserve these vibrant habitats resonates now more than ever. By delving into the unique communities and interdependencies within rainforests, we can uncover the astonishing potential for medicinal discoveries that could change lives. Each organism plays a crucial role, reminding us of our interconnectedness with nature. Discover more about this vital ecosystem and why it demands our attention in our latest article: [The Anatomy of a Rainforest](https://lnkd.in/ecNCxfCU). #Rainforest #Biodiversity #EnvironmentalConservation #Sustainability #Nature #Ecology #ClimateChange #MedicinalPlants #EcoAwareness
