DEATH TO TRAFFICATION. DEATH TO HIGHWAYS. DEATH TO THE RIVERS OF ASPHALT AND CONCRETE THAT SCAR THE LAND.
Pumas are unlikely to recolonize much of their historical range in the eastern U.S., a new study finds.
It’s not a lack of habitat or food keeping out pumas, also known as cougars or mountain lions.

Hedgehog signs put up in York village in spite of 'bewildering' opposition
A councillor has defied opposition to the installation of signs warning drivers about hedgehogs on a York village's roads by putting them up…

'Traffication' remains a book I'd recommend for any birder's library..
Traffic may be as important as industrial farming for destroying wildlife

For today’s #LayoverLibrary, I’m reading ‘Traffication’, an analysis of the myriad ways in which cars destroy our natural environment through noise and air pollution, microplastic particles, and roadkill.
The most important thing you can do to reduce traffication? Drive less and drive slower.

Cars ruin cities in more ways than just running people over.
Paris has reduced air pollution by 50-55% over the past 20 years through policies limiting traffic and banning polluting vehicles.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Habitat fragmentation, caused by roads, is creating genetic problems too, due to lack of diversity in the gene pool

No one living has experienced an urban world not broken by the scream of cars. We’ve become numb, letting machines set a baseline of anxiety and dictate our environment. We may not make cars disappear, but shrinking their presence is essential for our mental health.

Geez, the research summarised in Traffication is insane! 😨 Thought I'd already opened my eyes to roads/cars impacts but... wow. Population & species community level impacts.
Yet more compelling reasons to do something. Reducing car use etc will benefit people and wildlife. #Booksky #WildlifeBook

Primary source of microplastics is tyre dust from cars.
Microplastics in the bloodstream can induce cerebral thrombosis by causing cell obstruction and lead to neurobehavioral abnormalities
