The greater sage grouse, which once numbered in the thousands in Western Canada, is coming perilously close to vanishing from the Prairies, new government research shows. Known for its unusual mating dance, the species — found in areas where sagebrush grows — has been endangered for decades. The round-bodied bird is among the species most at risk in Canada. The latest data from government conservationists provides little hope for their future.

people just love to appropriate poverty struggles and classicism when they are challenged on their own consumption habits.
veganism is bad because some people live in food deserts (even though they don't)
no one can critizise fast fashion and ultra consumption of clothing because it's just so classist to say we shouldn't support slave labor (ignoring the fact that "poor" people are not buying 70 new items of clothing a year)
framing the demand for fundamental change, and the actions supporting it as intolerant as those horrible existing systems, because accountability is scary, and changing your lifestyle is hard.
if you cannot make a certain change right now, that's ok. activism groups largely know and account for that. but you should ask yourself: "can i actually not do this? or am i just unwilling to give up a priviledge i have?" because there is a difference

Nearly 63,000 small pieces of plastic were pulled from Toronto Harbour over six months last year — thanks to trash traps, according to research data released on Monday. The plastic pieces were part of 43 kilograms of garbage removed from the water from May to October 2023, according to PortsToronto and the University of Toronto Trash Team, a community outreach organization. In a news release on Monday, PortsToronto said its network of trash traps includes eight Seabins, which are floating garbage cans that suck in trash, and two WasteSharks, which are small remote-controlled vessels that skim the surface of the water to collect floating debris. Apart from the volume of plastic taken out of the harbour last year, however, both organizations say there are signs that the amount of plastic garbage floating in the water is on the decline this year and the drop may be due to outreach and education efforts.

In order to limit the increase in global average temperature to 1.5°C, it is essential to drastically reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere. This would mean not exploiting most of the existing coal, conventional gas and oil energy resources in regions around the world, according to research led by the University of Barcelona and published in the journal Nature Communications. The new article presents the atlas of unburnable oil in the world, a world map designed with environmental and social criteria that warns which oil resources should not be exploited to meet the commitments of the Paris Agreement signed in 2015 to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Australia's largest flying bird! The Australian Pelican!
A beautiful water bird well known for their Pouch like beak and a tendency to try to fit whatever possible in that pouch. Specifically pictured here is Line, a Pelican raised at Currumbin Wildlife sanctuary after a tussle with a tangle of fishing wire resulting in the amputation of half a wing. (An unfortunate reminder that the bulk of plastic in water comes from lost or abandoned fishing gear)
Line is free to swim around and hang with the wild Pelicans who she will bring around for a snack from the trainers, there's plenty to be had since she's a rather picky eater.
