[Commentary] Millions in Indonesia are already enduring toxic smoke and fighting severe blazes during an unprecedented El Niño. In a new op-ed, ecologist Akane Nishimura argues these frontline communities offer essential lessons in fortitude and adaptation as record-breaking fire seasons approach. mongabay.cc/2uMSWF #ElNiño #Mongabay #Indonesia

Nature loss is no longer just an environmental challenge but a direct threat to the global economy, the report says, noting that about half of global GDP – roughly $58tn (£44tn) in 2023 – depends on nature and its ecosystem services. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Seagrass removes and stores carbon at an outstanding level tackling climate change. “'Ireland can get carbon credits for it, but Ireland can’t just say that it has this seagrass there, it has to be able to show that these beds are managed and monitored" www.irishtimes.com/environment/...
A new poll shows that more than three quarters of people in Scotland think offshore wind farms should only be built where they won’t harm nature. And eight out of every 10 people would be more likely to support offshore wind farms away from important wildlife sites.
🌳 "2.65 million trees in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland are small, newly growing trees. That accounts for over 40% of the trees surveyed. The data also found that differences in landscape matter for regrowth. The new trees were more prevalent in dry areas rather than wet, boggy ones."
A legacy of deforestation has left Ethiopia struggling with more intense flooding and drought. The country is trying to restore its native forests through one of the world's most ambitious and well-funded tree-planting campaigns, but experts question whether the trees will survive.

Renewable generation and discharging storage equalled 43% of yesterday's electricity demand, with a peak of 69% at 14:45. Fossil fuel generation (mostly gas) equalled 42% of demand. 1% of generation was exported, 15% of demand was met by imports.
New research by CIEHF and the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation reveals how colonisation disrupted cultural burning and transformed forests on GunaiKurnai Country, increasing wildfire risk long before climate change intensified the problem. theconversation.com/colonisation...

The Kelvin wave bearing down on Southern California this week is not the kind that draws surfers. By itself, it’s probably not even noticeable. But it can have a profound effect, adding 6 to 12 inches to background sea levels, potentially for months. #climatechange #elniño
