The Nathusius' pipistrelle is one UK bat species that is known to migrate long distances across Europe. This makes them vulnerable to habitat loss and other threats across their migration routes.

Convention on Migratory Species (CMS)@cms.int · 5mo ago

Migratory species depend on networks of habitats. When these connections remain intact, they can move freely, ecosystems stay resilient, and natural processes that sustain life continue to flow. Participants at #CMSCOP15 will seek to maintain, restore & strengthen these networks: www.cms.int/cop15

Superbugs resistant to antibiotics are rising fast. I tested water at Lough Neagh (40% of Northern Ireland’s drinking water) & found high levels of antibiotic-resistant genes from human & livestock poo. If we treat waterways like sewers, this is what we get. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Exclusive: Lough Neagh, which supplies drinking water for 40% of NI, contains genes resistant to last-resort antibiotics

🌡️ The ocean is likely the hottest it has been for at least 1000 yrs, & heating faster than at any time in the past 2000 yrs The extra heat is intensifying climate disasters, causing heavier floods, worse storms, longer marine heatwaves & rising sea levels🔽 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘Profound impacts’: record ocean heat is intensifying climate disasters, data shows

Oceans absorb 90% of global heating, making them a stark indicator of the relentless march of the climate crisis

#BinTheBeads | Helena Dollimore for Hastings and Rye

Sussex Wildlife Trust and Helena Dollimore MP are calling for the water companies to bin the beads.

🪼Who remembers the devastating spillage of several tonnes of biobeads into the marine environment at the end of last year? 🦞These plastic beads are devastating to the marine environment, and are part of an outdated water treatment method known as BAFF.

MPAs are everywhere on dashboards, but far rarer in reality. 8.3% of the #ocean is “protected,” yet only 2.8% is meaningfully managed. The next decade must prioritise outcomes over acreage, and protection beyond boundaries with economic viewpoint. www.currentconservation.org/policing-the...
