We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.
Enjoyed editing these reflections on the Solwara 1 expedition for @mongabay.com Athough we know so much more about the deep sea now, nearly 20 years later, the discoveries have only just begun, as you say in the piece, @drandrewthaler.bsky.social
Deep-sea wildernesses are more important than the promise of seafloor mining (analysis)
When I set sail on the MV NorSky in the summer of 2008 to probe the depths of Manus Basin off the coast of Papua New Guinea, I believed in the promise of deep-sea mining. As an early-career deep-sea e...

The emperor penguin is now officially endangered. Record low sea ice in Antarctica has decimated colonies, with populations projected to fall 50% within 50 years. This International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List update is a "warning" that climate change is accelerating the extinction.
Emperor penguins are now endangered amid climate change and melting ice
Emperor penguins are native to Antarctica, where record low sea ice over the last decade has dramatically changed their habitat. Populations of the world’s largest penguin have fallen so much that…

💵 Billions flow into marine climate adaptation projects in the Global South, but contextual inequities can undermine their impact 🌍 www.nature.com/articles/s44... Our new global analysis of 35,000+ projects shows less than a third of projects explicitly consider equity 🐟 🦀
🐳 Equity is often overlooked because it's seen as too complex to engage with – the Ocean Equity Index seeks to address that. Thank you @mongabay.com for the thoughtful coverage of our new paper: news.mongabay.com/2026/02/ocea...
Ocean Equity Index aims to measure justice at sea
Ocean projects and governance systems abound globally— everything from offshore energy to coastal aquaculture and fishing treaties — yet there is no standardized way to measure how equitable they are....

Bees pollinate one out of every three bites of food we eat. They support 75-80% of flowering plants and boost crop yields worldwide. But they can’t do it alone. My dad’s wisdom rings true: Bee farming begins with tree planting. Plant a tree today → feed the bees → secure our food future. 🌍🐝
