Pollution and littering putting pressure on shorelines

Coastwatch survey shows some improvements in condition of coastal areas but also raises many concerns

Our partner #Coastwatch has been surveying the Irish coastline since 1987. This year, they wanted to try something new. They have asked their Coastwatchers to walk 100 meters through the beach until they found 20 pieces of litter and take a picture. Here’s why 🧵👇

The war in Ukraine has an invisible impact: the rise of illegal #deforestation and forest degradation. Where official monitoring and satellite imagery cannot reach, #citizen participation can be key! @gromadaukraine.bsky.social blog.more4nature.eu/news/citizen...

Citizen Science in Conflict Zones: more4nature at the GROMADA Conference 2025

One of the invisible consequences of the war in Ukraine is an increase in illegal deforestation and forest degradation. Citizen Science can be key to tackle it.

Great news from #Portugal! Their national Action Plan for the Conservation and Sustainability of #Pollinators is finalized and will be open for consultation until 21 November! The goal is to improve the monitoring of pollinators in the country and halt their decline.🧪 👉 participa.pt/pt/consulta/...

What is the key for successful participatory science? Two new reports published by the Nordic Council of Ministers present examples of citizen involvement in nature management in the Arctic and set out a concrete framework for strengthening this engagement. #CitizenScience 👇🧵1/5

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝 Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive. Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

For #EuMaritimeDay & Biodiversity Week 2025 we are partnering with The Environmental Forum & Irish Wildlife Trust. Join Karin Dubsky for citizen science demos, water testing & bioindicator monitoring as part of a @more4nature.eu Horizon project. Please book here: www.eventbrite.ie/e/1321075746...

🌲 Around 80 citizens visited the Ulvshale National Park with the Danish Nature Agency. The ‘Forest Walk’ served to include citizens in the management. 🧠 Citizen knowledge is crucial in detecting species, observing changes in forest composition or suggesting preferred trails & access points. #Denmark

A major milestone of our >4-year effort to bring #butterfly diversity and its threat to global attention. We show most species and hotspots cluster in mountains, with #climatechange projected to erode up to 67% of the thermal niche supporting this diversity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
