The #MonarchButterfly is a #pollinator, the adults feed on flower nectar, they transfer pollen from one flowering plant to another. This #fertilizes the plants so they can produce seeds and fruit. Without pollinators, many crops and wildflowers would not exist. Protect Monarch & their #habitat Plz

Le gouvernement flamand prévoit la construction de 56 000 nouveaux logements sociaux d’ici 2042 Principaux renseignements Le gouvernement flamand prend des mesures décisives pour remédier à la pénurie croissante de logements sociaux en Flandre. Conscient de l’aggravation de la crise, marquée par la flambée des prix d’achat et de location, le ministre du Logement, Hans Bonte, a souligné chez Belga l’urgence d’augmenter l’offre de logements abordables. Objectifs ambitieux fixés […]

Fragmented Habitats Fail Forest Bird Conservation An analysis of 50 datasets from more than 1,000 individual parcels of tropical and subtropical forest show that avian species richness declines fastest when those pieces of habitat are surrounded by areas that woodland birds find inhospitable. The study by an international collaboration that included Matthew Betts of the Oregon State University College of Forestry suggests the conservation value of forest remnants could be greatly increased simply by working to give the areas around habitat patches more tree cover. Findings of the project led by scientists in Brazil and at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania were published in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences. "Contrary to what some people have thought, our research shows that pockets of small protected areas, by themselves, aren't enough to enable robust avian conservation efforts in the biodiversity-rich forests of the tropics and subtropics," Betts said. "Even tiny forest fragments, a few acres or less, with moderate nearby tree cover hold some conservation value, but the value goes up massively when the surrounding landscape is more hospitable." In fragmented forest areas, species richness declines as forest remnant size goes down, and the magnitude of decline depends on how specialized the species are to...

Sei whales are sharing their spring habitat with USA's busiest port - Oceanographic Magazine Endangered sei whales are regularly using the waters of the New York Bight each spring, an exciting new study has found, carrying significant implications for the management of one of the busiest and most industrially active stretches of coastline in the United States. Led by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), the research used acoustic monitoring technology to track the presence and vocal behaviour of sei whales in the waters off New York and New Jersey between 2017 and 2020. What the data revealed was not the occasional, incidental passage of a wandering individual, but a consistent, structured seasonal pattern – the hallmark of a species that knows exactly where it is going, and when. “This is the first detailed analysis of daily and seasonal acoustic patterns for sei whales in the New York Bight,” said Maria Papadopoulos, lead author of the study with WCS and graduate researcher at Columbia University. “We found that 95% of sei whale vocalisations were detected between March and May, with activity peaking in the late spring, when temperatures are between 41° and 48° Fahrenheit. This highlights a narrow environmental window when the whales are most likely to...

OPINION Lotz: Guam bears the burden of feds' failure on habitat protection The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a notice, 230 pages long, in the Federal Register on March 24, 2026, to designate critical habitat in the Mariana Islands. Islands affected include Guam, Rota, Tinian, Saipan and five of the northern Gani islands. On Guam, this proposal will affect 57 square miles of private and government of Guam land or 27% of the island’s land. Federal lands will conveniently not be affected as considered exempt by virtue of being a federal “protected area” or management by the military under an Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan. The proposal states that private and GovGuam lands are not affected unless there is a federal involvement. Considering the broad categories of federal involvements, the effect will be a cloud over Guam’s private and GovGuam lands. GovGuam conservation areas are proposed for critical habitat designation. However, the Sabanna Conservation Area on Rota is exempt. Why not for Guam? Currently, the military owns 30% of Guam and has plans to acquire or control additional lands. An estimated 3% of private lands are dedicated for military use consisting of quarries, worker housing, military-related industrial uses, and rentals to active-duty military. If this designation of critical habitat is implemented,...

New study reveals New York Bight is a key spring habitat for endangered sei whales Images available for use with credit can be found here. New York (April 2, 2026) — A new study led by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) reveals that endangered sei whales regularly use the New York Bight as a key spring habitat, underscoring the importance of this heavily trafficked region for one of the world’s fastest and most elusive baleen whales. Using acoustic monitoring data collected with WHOI-developed technology from 2017 to 2020, researchers documented strong seasonal and daily patterns in sei whale presence and vocal activity. The findings suggest that the waters off New York and New Jersey may serve as an important migratory corridor—and potentially a feeding area—during early spring. The study, Seasonal and Diel Acoustic Activity of Sei Whales (Balaenoptera borealis) in the New York Bight, was conducted by researchers from WCS’s New York Bight Program and WHOI. “This is the first detailed analysis of daily and seasonal acoustic patterns for sei whales in the New York Bight,” explained Maria Papadopoulos, lead author of the study with WCS and graduate researcher at Columbia University. “We found that 95 percent of sei whale vocalizations were detected between March and May,...

Consider this #EarthMonth tip: skip the spring "clean up" in less visible areas of your yard. In places where you just can resist the urge, wait until mid to late May, when all of the overwintering #insects have emerged from #habitat like leaf litter or last season's stems.

“The scrub-jay is just a pretty endearing bird. It’s smart, curious and so friendly that it’ll sometimes eat from your hand or land on your head.”

It can only be found in Florida.

Figure 3 Mu et al (2026): Schematic representation showing how stopover sites (and other sites) may be underutilized by migratory birds, and why, in some cases, local habitat changes may not affect either the local or flyway populations of these birds. In this simplified example, the entire population of a migratory bird species uses four sites sequentially (without other alternative sites) during its annual migration (left column), and habitat loss occurs first at stopover site 1 (middle column), and then at stopover site 2 (right column), with different consequences for both local (ie stopover sites) and flyway populations, depending on whether the current habitat-use intensity at each site is at or below the carrying capacity. Note that, in the real world, not all sites are necessarily at capacity at present, and the population may already be limited by a subset of the sites.
