Kaavi - ihan pimee www.kaavi.fi. Tämä pimeänsuojelualue oli mielestäni aivan mainio idea. Tervetuloa meille Itä-Suomeen (pimeää riittää muuallakin kuin Kaavin Syrjävaarassa).

Kaavin kunta – Ihan pimee.

Kaavi on ihan pimeä ja valtakunnan valoisin. Kaavia ei voi kuvailla, vaan se täytyy kokea. Vähän niin kuin pimeän yötaivaan tähdet tai kallionkolon timantit. Kaavi on salarikkauden paratiisi, jossa vo...

"We call on the European Commission to side with the bean goose, the ruff and the whooping swan – and the people of Finland – and to protect Viiankiaapa." This really is a test case. You cannot compensate unique nature.

Impacts of mixed farming systems on nocturnal invertebrates and bats Findings from this thesis can help to inform both farmers seeking to mitigate biodiversity loss and government agricultural policies that aim to encourage wildlife-friendly farming practices. dspace.stir.ac.uk/bitstream/18...

A finding of this thesis: "Land use change and pesticide exposure can have direct and indirect effects on butterflies, with effects varying in strength across species. Given the essential ecological roles of many insects, species-specific ecological needs should inform future management decisions."

🧵1/5 #ForestStation 3/3: 🎥from campus to forest @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social @ioes-ju.bsky.social 🌲 Can a forest look green and healthy, yet fail to provide pollinator larvae with the nutrients they need? This time, we’re taking a closer look at what the ProPollSoil project has been up to😄.

Pölyttäjien seuranta vaatii pitkäjänteisyyttä. Vaikka tämän kesän sääolot Suomessa olivat pölyttäjille suotuisat, ei se kerro lajien pitkän aikavälin kehityksestä, johon vaikuttavat mm. sopivien elinympäristöjen väheneminen ja ilmastonmuutos. #luonto #biodiversiteetti yle.fi/a/74-20241923

Sää suosi pölyttäjiä: perhosia ja kimalaisia tänä kesänä erityisen paljon

Suotuisat sääolot ovat tarjonneet pölyttäjille runsaasti ravintoa ja sopivia olosuhteita lisääntymiseen.

Plagionotus detritus is a lesser known pollinator. The second video in #ForestStation introduces it to you. Protecting this beetle requires more than providing just flowers, as its larva develops in dead wood. #conservation #EUBiodiversity

Extreme heat is keeping bees from pollinating. Here’s why that could affect your grocery bill

Honeybees spend more time cooling their hives as temperatures rise, leaving less time to pollinate the fruits, vegetables and nuts people rely on.
