These are some of my observations from today for the City Nature Challenge 🤩🥳 Are you participating? if not, what are you waiting for? 🤩 City Nature Challenge is a four day Bioblitz from April 26 to 29, 2024 organised by Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, California Academy of Sciences and WWF-India. Taking part is simple, download the iNaturalist app, and upload photos of organisms around you, and that's all!! Know more at https://lnkd.in/gs2ruybK 🌿

Attention Californian archives, libraries, museums, and tribal nations! Join us for a free information session about the #ReadyOrNotCA project funded by the California State Library. We'll discuss the benefits and how to set up a site visit. Register at nedcc.org/pt. #California #Libraries #Archives #Museums #TribalArchives #HistoricalSocieties #CulturalHeritage #CulturalPreservation #EmergencyPreparedness #DisasterPlanning #DisasterPreparedness #ReadinessPlanning

TOMORROW, join some our core NiCHE community members to discuss our impact over the past two decades!! Wednesday, April 24, 1PM ET / 5PM GMT, Zoom https://lnkd.in/gDrgvskZ #environmentalhistory #canadianhistory #environmentalhumanities #historicalgeography

Thanks Tahsin Rahman for the opportunity to share my research with your committee and hear more about the work that Sicame are doing to address these issues!

Such a brilliant database, with the added citizen science input, real-time data quantity and quality collection continues to grow from strength to strength. This information can then direct conservation efforts in a more targeted and timely manner, picking up on emerging tends of observations (or lack there of) for species. It’s as simple as using the #atlasoflivingaustralia website https://lnkd.in/eEcEHAEP or supporting apps. My app of choice is #iNaturalist to record what where and when you find flora fauna or fungi. Uploading records is very easy;& I love the fact you just need a photo (or sound recording) to upload & the catalogue will give you a good guess, followed up by expert ID. A great resource for the nature enthusiast & students as well 👩🏻🏫 👩🎓 🌳 Happy flora fauna & fungi finding & uploading 📷 🐠 🔈 🐸 👁️ 🦋 🍄 #citizenscience

Exploring This Local Small Town Museum In Eastern North Carolina Is The Definition Of An Underrated Adventure https://ow.ly/bRaZ50Qn7U2

The American Bison is the keystone species of the Great Plains. Illinois is the Prairie State. One of my goals is to see millions of acres to Bison range restored by grazing them beneath wind turbines combined with agrivoltaics. I've been inspired by Earthship Biotecture building methods throughout my life and hope to see earth berm passive geothermal structures create large enclosures combined with high tension electric fencing to make a series of zones for various agrivoltaics, carbon removal, and microgrids to support new advanced manufacturing based on the synergies of these methods. Biochar is one of most promising forms of carbon removal that can enter many aspects of circular economies and even value added to graphene using Flash Joule Heating. Modular datacenters with batched computing capable of balancing the grid can be paired with energy storage on every transformer at the base of each wind turbine or solar grid interconnection point. As a society we should aspire to build resilient infrastructure that is impervious to unforeseen future incidents like an Asteroid impact and so Earth Berm structures can protect these uninterruptible power supplies while sheltering the true treasure of this country in the form of biodiversity of living species across the great plains and their original stewards, The American Bison.

🤔 Did you know there's another king tide coming up? 🤔 Did you know a "study found that California waves have grown, on average, a foot taller in the last 50 years"? 🤔 Did you know "early Santa Cruz Lighthouse keeper, Laura Hecox, grew up exploring the tide pools below Lighthouse Point and her collection of shells and other curios led to the formation of the city’s first public museum, what is today the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History"? 🎉 This article reveals all these cool facts and more! #CaliforniaKingTides #SantaCruz #ClimateChange

Creativity brings people together. Art sends a message. Springhouse hosts a Procession of the Species on Earth day each year and it is pretty magical. When we hold this parade, we honor the species of the Earth and we shed light on the danger they are in. Learning from the Earth and taking care of vulnerability are two of our cultural design principles. Through this parade, we practice those principles. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ekZFqbng

Museums move to better engage and educate the community but for natural history museums dinosaurs still hold the spotlight. They are key examples of the Earth's past and future. #dinosaurs #climatechange
