Interfering in nature's natural course to 'make you feel good' is an obstructive, selfish act.
Humans can be very selfish AND destructive though in their own self-interest!⤵️

Vanishing Wings: Global Study Uncovers Tropical Insect Crisis HKU researchers are leading a global study on the decline of insect populations in tropical forests, aiming to understand the threats and implications for ecosystems and human health.

Tropical insects are vanishing, threatening ecosystems and health. HKU leads a global study to uncover why. #InsectBiodiversity #TropicalEcology #ClimateImpact

Spring has already shown its first signs in the Netherlands!

With the two MSc students I supervise, we recorded 3 butterflies and 5 hoverflies for the last week of February, in the urban parks of the Randstad!

It was an honour to present my poster on #urbanbiodiversity in #naem2025 conference.

During my PhD I will be trying to understand how urban agglomerations like the Randstad change patterns of biodiversity and community composition.
