“In a normal park, we estimated there were about 30 species of wild bees,” says Jens Ulrich, a former University of British Columbia (UBC) PhD student who worked with the city between 2021 and 2024 to study the meadows’ ability to attract wild #bees and hoverflies.
“In a park with a meadow, we saw that number jump up to something around 60 species per park – per year.”

Immersing myself in the vibe out at my favorite accessible riverside hang before I head over to chorus practice. The weather has gotten a good bit more typically Pacific Northwest autumnal this week, and I for one am glad.

Breakfasting at my favorite accessible riverside hang, until it's time to head over to the potluck. This is apparently a day about dining out.

For the 4th year in a row, Indian grey hornbills have successfully bred in Gujarat state where they’d been absent for more than 50 years. Despite being listed as a species of “Least Concern” by the IUCN, the animal has habitat requirements that can see it quickly succumb to displacement. Indeed even Gir National Park, […]

Asheville Unveils Riverfront Redesign
🏞️ After Tropical Storm Helene buried the French Broad River parks under debris and historic floodwaters, Asheville has introduced a unified five‑mile redesign.
🌊 The plan leans into nature‑based resilience, focused on flood‑adapted public spaces, restored wetlands, and improved river access. One welcome design element is the re-establishment of native rivercane to bolster riverbanks.
🧩 The project deploys climate‑aware infrastructure to strengthen habitats, recreation, and long‑term public safety.

Sicilianews24.it: I parchi nazionali americani affrontano un futuro incerto a causa dei rischi climatici crescenti.
Rischi del Cambiamento Climatico nei Parchi Nazionali Statunitensi
Un’analisi nazionale ha rivelato che la maggior parte dei parchi nazionali degli Stati Uniti è altamente vulnerabile ai cambiamenti climatici, esponendo molti di essi a rischi di trasformazione ecologica irreversibile, piuttosto che a un graduale declino. Incendi boschivi, siccità, parassiti e innalzamento del livello del mare stanno convergendo per rimodellare i paesaggi che i parchi sono stati creati per preservare. La vulnerabilità non è uniforme: i parchi nel Midwest e nella parte orientale degli Stati Uniti tendono a fronteggiare i rischi cumulativi più elevati, a causa di habitat frammentati, inquinamento, specie invasive e capacità limitata degli ecosistemi di adattarsi. Molti parchi occidentali sembrano più resilienti, ma sono esposti a molteplici disturbi gravi contemporaneamente.

American national parks face an uncertain future due to rising climate risks.
Climate Change Risks in U.S. National Parks
A national analysis revealed that the majority of U.S. national parks are highly vulnerable to climate change, exposing many of them to risks of irreversible ecological transformation, rather than gradual decline. Wildfires, droughts, pests, and sea-level rise are converging to reshape the landscapes that parks were created to preserve. Vulnerability is not uniform: parks in the Midwest and the eastern United States tend to face the highest cumulative risks, due to fragmented habitats, pollution, invasive species, and limited ecosystem adaptation capacity. Many western parks appear more resilient, but are exposed to multiple severe disturbances simultaneously.
