Why is the Yellowstone "landscape of fear" story so entrenched? In Effective Conservation Science: Data Not Dogma, Emma Marris suggests it's partly because humans are suckers for a good story. academic.oup.com/book/26688/cha… drive.google.com/file/d/12KFVF4…

I wrote about asparagopsis taxiformis, the livestock feed additive that the meat and dairy industries want you to believe will make cows carbon-neutral. But this red algae is little more than a greenwashed red herring in the food climate conversation. newrepublic.com/article/187421…

I’ve never been to this zoo and don’t know exactly how animals are treated. But people are pointing out some basic truths that should not be glossed over: 1. Moo Deng’s home is very small. 2. She has little respite from humans. 3. She has little natural substrate or vegetation.

I see so many staged dog videos like this post described. Sadly it's not just dogs, all species suffer due to these social media scammers!

Great tip for anyone who spends a lot of time in wild places, where there's a risk of picking up ticks: get yourself a ' Swedish Tick Lasso Trix'. They really work, removing the entire tick and leaving nothing embedded (so no risk of Lyme). Best 10 euro you'll ever spend.

This is a good example of why I rarely use the term 'eco-tourism' - tourism is often highly damaging for biodiversity. That doesn't mean it doesn't have benefits, & the ££ is important, but needs good regulation to reduce harms (sound familiar? 😉) telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…
