A wonderful picture of the four-spot chaser dragonfly (Libellula quadrimaculata) taken by our ecologist Claire Smith while undertaking ecology surveys in Northeast Scotland.   These adaptable dragonflies can be found in a variety of freshwater habitats such as ponds, lakes, canals, and slow-moving streams.   These remarkable insects play a vital role in the balance of our eco-system, helping to key populations of midges and other flying insects in check. While they themselves are an important food source for birds, fish and other insectivores. All of which keeps the food chain functioning smoothly.   #SustainableDevelopment #ecologyife #biodiversity

When people think of California's iconic trees, they may first think about the larger-than-life California redwood (𝘚𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘰𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘴) or the palms along Sunset Boulevard, evoking the California dream. However, for Californians, it could be argued that no tree genus is more important or familiar than the oak tree. 🌳   Over 20 species of oaks are native to California, which range throughout the state. Unfortunately, sudden oak death, a tree disease caused by the fungus-like pathogen 𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮 is threatening the mortality of oak trees in California. Our latest blog, written by Great Ecology's Ellia Simmons, explores this fascinating phenomenon and discusses how we can mitigate the effects of sudden oak death. https://lnkd.in/gbSdrdfy #suddenoakdeath #california #mitigation #ecology #environmentalconsulting #oaktrees #ecologist

THERE IS NO NET-ZERO WITHOUT NATURE. Urgent action is needed for organisations to integrate nature and biodiversity into their strategic planning, reporting, and target setting. While the property sector is still adapting its approach to nature, grasping key ecological principles is crucial. Join us for an insightful event on Tuesday, 14th at 9 am, either online or in person, to delve into the risks and opportunities surrounding nature in the property industry. For further reading on the imperative to understand nature-related dependencies, risks, and opportunities, explore this article https://lnkd.in/g2v_ki24 #biodiversity #nature #propertyindustry
