"Law professors say much of the buzz around a California court’s finding that bees meet the definition of fish missed the mark, and that the decision isn’t as unusual as it seems."

"Most widely used pesticide in history harms critical ability of bumblebee to regulate nest temperature".
"One ecologist counted 160 dead wild birds while walking round a Scottish loch, and figures from other countries are just as worrying".
To better understand troubled bird populations and the many forces undermining them, grab some binoculars and a notebook, and catch up with your local birders, including the burgeoning number of minority birders.

Contributor Nano Riley has a review in our new BookShelf.

"A federal judge last week blocked five more Trump-era oil and gas lease sales for failing to comply with statutory protections for the greater sage grouse."
