#Coralreefs are dying off rapidly: we have reached the first #climate tipping point. 🧪

“Humans are changing the world so quickly that #corals can’t keep up anymore.” Sancia van der Meij, a marine biologist from #GELIFES, expresses her concern: rug.nl/research/gelifes/_news/2025/20251017-coral-reefs

Are #mustelids disappearing from the Netherlands? 🤔

The common #weasel, #stoat, and the European #polecat are very elusive #animals, which makes them difficult to study.

🧪Our researchers from #GELIFES and others have written a #publication about monitoring them:
