the #GazaGenocide continues, unabated, uninterrupted by the goings-on in the rest of the world. here in #Palestine there is only the oppressed and the oppressor. the oppression is done under the full light of the sun. netanyahu wants this👆🏽 and they want us to watch this #Extirpation from afar 👇🏽

(a) Harvey Janszen and Hannah Carpendale searching for Platanthera unalascensis on Stockade Hill, Galiano Island, British Columbia, on July 12, 2020. Harvey passed away less than a year later, on May 10, 2021. His field knowledge provided a baseline for this study of biodiversity change—testimony to the importance of both historical collections and living knowledge for understanding the status of biodiversity. (b) Galiano Island local Shauna Anderson documenting a population of Trifolium dichotomum on Mount Galiano on 5 June 2022. The species had last been reported from the island based on a herbarium collection made by Harvey Janszen in 1981, and thus had gone undocumented for more than 40 years.

Shockingly, fossil evidence from Cueva Matos reveals the presence of 10 bat species, compared to only 3 today! Notably, nearly 90% of the lost species were specialists that rely on hot cave environments. #Extirpation #FossilRecord

Since Robert Colwell's seminal study, many studies reported more evidence of elevational ranges shifts in 🏔, including evidence for #mountaintop #extirpation, the so-called #escalator to #extinction from Benjamin Freeman's excellent work published in 2018 in @pnas.org

Was just chatting about this with ecologist and SMU professor Jeremy Lundholm when I interviewed him recently for an upcoming piece in #Ecology & Action Magazine's Spring 2025 Issue for @ecologyaction.bsky.social.

his strife is leatherbound & worn, and berates his soul with nine salacious tongues; his #strife is gold & crucified, and whispers of faithless iniquity; his strife is obsidian & defiant, and is his corner-trapped vessel of subtle #extirpation; his strife is open-minded mortality

Billions, trillions, of wild lives wiped out, along with human settlements, with pets & livestock, adapted to the anthropogenic retention of flow. Pollution of soils to pollution of the Black Sea. Dis-ease will come. #suffering #extirpation #ecocide #ActsofWar
