The tree itself is pretty cool alone, but the bird nests that can be home to hundreds of birds seal the deal.

what did you just say to me?

How dare you, for that, I’m going to need to invade.

There’s a lot left to ‘discover’ and that doesn’t even get into the deep sea.

I think it’s more like we didn’t even know UV light existed for the first 25 years.

I tried to use this image from another article as the thumbnail/banner, but it turns out that only shows up on .ml

Hah, well in the interest of not making a slew of assumptions and adding another toxic interaction to the list:

Thanks for your willingness to comply with my polite and unenforceable request. I do genuinely appreciate it.

I haven’t posted to world since Kaplan threw a fit about the anarchist instances, but you’re welcome to.

I’d appreciate it if you retain the Hexbear xpost link when you do, but there’s nothing I can or would do if you choose not to.

The network link will take you to ml because that’s where I posted it from.

The xpost link will take you to Hexbear because that’s where I xposted it from.

You can search the title on mander or visit the comm directly and find it.

A couple choice quotes in case you neither clicked through nor read the transcription, but decided to check out the comment(s):

Of course, “discovery” is a loaded word. Many animals and plants described by Western science were already known to Indigenous peoples and local communities.

Conservation laws, threatened species lists and monitoring programs usually work at the species level. If several species are mistakenly treated as one, a declining species can be hidden inside a larger group that looks secure.

As we stand at the precipice of Earth’s sixth mass extinction, this has never been more important.

Recognising hidden biodiversity does not solve conservation problems by itself.

Ah, buggy client. Got it.

… is the post not displaying properly on mander?

For once we aren’t burdening the global south with the responsibility to save the world from the global north meow-sunglasses
