She’s still got it.
Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, feeds what might be her 30th chick on Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge.
At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds is estimated to have produced 50-60 eggs and 30 chicks that fledged in her lifetime.

SHE DID IT AGAIN!
Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, is back with a new partner and just laid yet another egg.
At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge last week and began interacting with a male.

BREAKING:
Israel just committed a massacre in Baalbek, bombing the Civil Defense Center filled with medical personnel.
Over 15 paramedics have been killed, with many still trapped under the rubble.
Israel is hunting down paramedics across Lebanon.
This is an act of genocide.

On Nov. 10, Israeli authorities blocked, without explanation, the medical evacuation of eight children and their caretakers from Gaza who are in need of medical care, including a two-year-old with leg amputations, to the MSF hospital in Jordan. We strongly denounce this decision.

Before the eyes of the world:
Israel is dropping bombs near Beirut’s International Airport as planes full of civilians prepare to take off.
Imagine the global uproar if such a scene took place in Ukraine. But since it’s happening in Lebanon, no one even bats an eyelash.
Jesse van der Grient (she, her) retweeted
If you no longer see reports about Israeli massacres in northern Gaza, it’s not because they have stopped, but because the Israeli occupation has killed most of the journalists there for this exact reason: to keep you from knowing about them.
Massacres are being committed 24/7

Second, earlier in the day Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were filmed shouting “Finish the Arabs! We’re going to win!”. A Palestinian flag was set on fire. A taxi driver attacked. This context has been widely overlooked. A pogrom involves victims and perpetrators; this was not a pogrom.

Totally inexcusable: the management of mackerel fisheries by NE Atlantic coastal states.
I have observed this developing over many years & now able to comment. This is a political failure. We have the science, control & enforcement, & industry good will. ices-taf.shinyapps.io/advice….
There's no such thing as environmentally-sustainable deep sea mining, as no mining is sustainable. Further, the science is indicating quite large environmental impacts. Sad to see this in this report. Poor performance.
"I think no one was better placed than you, dear Mario, to carry out a thorough analysis of Europe's competitiveness – and how to improve it.
Now there is wide consensus that it must be at the top of our agenda, and at the heart of our action."

It’s been said before but the second Greta started making connections between climate change and capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism the media coverage came to a screeching halt.

Fisheries stocks that are most overfished and in need of management safeguards also suffer from the largest assessment biases.
Our new study indicates that nearly twice as many fishery stocks have collapsed as currently recognized.
science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
A deep dive into stock assessments of fisheries worldwide has revealed their sustainability is overstated. And it has implications for fisheries management and consumer awareness. Find out more about the IMAS-led study: tinyurl.com/mwyth629
