Ministério do Meio Ambiente se posiciona contra o PL da Devastação. Pena que é uma voz solitária na Esplanada de um governo que se elegeu prometendo transversalidade nas questões ambientais.

‼️ALERTA! AMEAÇA CONTRA O LICENCIAMENTO AMBIENTAL ESTÁ AINDA MAIOR!
O PL da Devastação já foi APROVADO na Comissão do Meio Ambiente e Comissão de Agricultura do Senado. Agora, está nas mãos do Plenário barrar o mais radical projeto de desmonte do licenciamento ambiental no Brasil.
💬 ENTREVISTA | Em entrevista à Agência Pública, Suely Araújo, que presidiu o Ibama entre 2016 e 2018, analisou alguns dos pontos que considera mais problemáticos da Lei Geral do Licenciamento Ambiental, conhecido como “PL da Devastação”. apublica.org/2025/05/pl-d...
@senado.leg.br Muito triste ver o desmonte da legislação ambiental no Brasil. Na prática, o Estado será responsável pelos custos socioambientais de projetos de médio e pequeno impacto. Quem pagará somos nós, sem nenhuma limitação de custo.

Working with multiple migratory bird species, I find myself guilty of the most human of sins: that of expecting nature to fit into human-made categories and classification schemes.

Who would have thought that detecting plasma in the ionosphere and detecting migratory birds would be two very similar problems?
Also, the figures I wish I had made, but couldn't.

A small iridescent green bird with bright violet feathers near the ears. The violet feathers are flared out from the side of the head. The bird is perched on a bare branch and there is greenery and flowers out of focus in the background.
Before choosing violence, flare those ear feathers to let rivals know you've had enough.

My advice: it will take much longer than you imagine, but it will happen. Divide and conquer.
Just a chill jazz to make you reflect about chill things on a rainy Thursday.

The front cover of a scientific journal titled Ornithologist, dated 1 April 2025. The main headline reads: “BIRDS: DECODED - Groundbreaking New Science.” Below that, a subheading says: “What are the UK’s birds really saying? Pioneering new research provides the answers.”
WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language.
The results tell us a lot!

Fell for four pranks, including the one by @merriam-webster.com (almost looked for the Just Curse Words book for my nephew ). Fooled no one. It was a fun day, nonetheless.

O desmatamento da Amazônia faz com que as usinas hidrelétricas de Itaipu e Belo Monte percam anualmente capacidade de gerar energia para 1.5 milhões de pessoas e R$ 1.1 bilhão em receita. Preservar a #Amazônia não é uma questão ambiental.
