2024 biodiversity indicators are in... If a wake-up call was needed to show the UK is failing nature, this is it.

Short-term trends show progress stalling or reversing. 📉🚨

To meet 2030 targets, we need nature-friendly farming, smart planning &investment in nature now

We now know that young birds are the 'trend-setters', migrating earlier and settling in new winter areas:

Dietary Plasticity Mitigates Impacts to Reproduction for the Gull-Billed Tern Gelochelidon nilotica During Abnormally Warm Sea Surface Temperature Events in California, U.S.A.
K. S. Goodenough, R. T. Patton, J. Lorda
Waterbirds 45 (4), 450-460, (18 Sept 2023) doi.org/10.1675/063....
🐦🌍
Photo by: Eric Kershner/USFWS These van Rossem's Gull-billed Terns Gelochelidon nilotica vanrossemi were photographed at the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge located in southern California. They are a medium-sized migratory seabird that feed on a variety of small prey items, including crabs, lizards, insects, chicks of other bird species, and fish. They are also a ground-nesting species whose nests consist of shallow scrapes with pieces of rocks, shells, or fish bones.

The U.S. Forest Service posted notice of its intention to roll back significant protections on some 45 million acres of mid-elevation forestland, and will accept public comments through Sept. 19 to gauge Americans’ appetite for the change.
You Have Just 3 Weeks to Object to the Roadless Rule Rollback, Which Will Affect 45 Million Wild Acres Across the U.S.
The Trump administration just opened a three-week comment period for revoking the Roadless Rule, which keeps wilderness intact.

A study in Sierra Leone’s Gola Rainforest shows REDD+ carbon financing does more than store carbon, it protects biodiversity. Soundscape monitoring revealed higher wildlife activity inside the funded national park compared to areas without this support.

Claudia Geib reports for #Mongabay.
A ‘symphony’ of wildlife suggests carbon financing is working in Sierra Leone
One of the first things H.S. Sathya Chandra Sagar noticed in Gola Rainforest National Park was its profusion of sound. Standing amid the tallest trees he’d ever seen, Sagar could hear the calls of…

Colony managers know it
The literature ignores it! Many seabirds are young - juvenile, immature, subadult, prebreeder - and we know v little about them!

Here's our paper on why you should care about young seabirds for conservation!
