Restauration de la nature : la Belgique lambine dans la préparation de son plan

Is this paper precisely pointing to this? I read in the discussion: "increasing supplemental feeding [...] could lead to the reduction of migratory behavior [...], potentially either increasing outbreak risk [...] or, alternatively, lowering risk due to less stress-induced immunological effects []

A great way to start the year! Hume's Leaf Warbler on the university campus in Brussels. Thank you @olivierpdupont.bsky.social and Janne Den for this wonderful discovery.

To all users of @observation.org visiting SE Europe for birdwatching: don't forget to register sessions (= complete lists of observations), this could be really useful for @ebcc.info partners in SE in those countries ! and check data on local subportals like al.observation.org

Do we want a society where only the rich and powerful are allowed to speak? Do we really want nobody to speak for societal interests in defiance of private ones?

In Wallonia (BE), only 1,3% of the territory is under strict nature protection regime. The new regional government is committed to reaching 5% by 2030, but at the same time is cutting in half the budgets for acquisition of land to set up nature reserves. Find the error. #Conservation #biodiversity

Nature : passer à 5 % d’aires protégées en Wallonie, mission difficile après 2026 La Wallonie vise 5 % de terres protégées d’ici 2030 (contre 1,32 % aujourd’hui). Grâce au plan européen, 958 hectares ont été acquis, mais l’avenir du financement après 2026 reste incertain.
