Global migratory freshwater fish populations plummet by 81%: Report

…A new global report reveals a stark reality: populations of migratory freshwater fish species, including salmon, trout, eel and sturgeon, are declining dramatically. The report, published by a coalition of international conservation organizations, shows an average 81% decrease in these fish populations between 1970 and 2020.

“The catastrophic decline in migratory fish populations is a deafening wake-up call for the world,” said Herman Wanningen, founder of the World Fish Migration Foundation and one of the authors of the report. “We must act now to save these keystone species and their rivers.”

The Living Planet Index (LPI) report for migratory freshwater fishes analyzed data from 1,864 populations of 284 migratory freshwater fish species across the globe. Contributing to the report were researchers from the World Fish Migration Foundation, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Wetlands International and WWF.

The researchers found that fish populations had declined significantly more in some regions than in others. For example, Latin America and the Caribbean experienced the most severe decrease at 91%, while Europe saw a 75% decline. North America showed a 35% decrease, and Asia-Oceania reported a 28% decline. Data for Africa were limited, making it difficult to determine conclusive trends for that continent.

Marii Freire – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Inteligência e sensibilidade causam mudanças transformadoras; quando não é na nossa vida, é na vida de outrem. Todo ser humano quando usa da sua sensibilidade para abraçar e acolher a outra pessoa, certamente, ela se torna um ser extraordinário, porque não toma ” o mundo para si” mas, sabe o valor dessa troca de experiências entre cada indivíduo. Coragem é a palavra que nos deixa agir e ousar também, porque às vezes, a autenticidade do outro amedronta. Todavia, se você faz porque entende que muitas vezes, as pessoas precisam dessa troca de experiências e também, dessa troca de lugares, é porque você é um ser humano ímpar.

In every corner of our homes,

Yet we roam far and wide, 

seeking something else to be found…

FREUDE

Der Weg der Freude

Hast du mein Lachen gerade gehört?
Es kommt frei aus dem Herzen…
Ich fühle FREUDE, nicht Verwirrung oder gar Wut, wie einst dies noch war…

Ich fühle FREUDE, selbst wenn ich nicht weiß, wohin die Reise jetzt gerade geht…
In der Hand, da halte ich ein Stück Papier mit gaaanz vielen Zahlen drauf…

Was soll ich damit, doch ich weiß, es kommt von Dir!
Nun denn, so möge es sein…

Annehmen, keinen Widerstand mehr…
Einfach GANZ voller FREUDE JETZT SEIN

Hast du mein Lachen gerade gehört?

Ja, das habe ich!
Ich liebe dich!“

DANKE
✨🙏🌟

When ‘Chaos = Profit’ | Filosofa’s Word

More than a few times I’ve noted that ‘rights’ are accompanied by responsibilities.  I fully support freedom of speech and freedom of the press, but in return I expect the media to recognize and honour their responsibility to We the People.  They are failing miserably.  They have put their pursuit of profit far ahead of this nation and its people and I, for one, am sick of it.  There is not a single mainstream media outlet that isn’t engaging in ‘yellow journalism’ during this election cycle and we will all pay a high price for their perfidy.  Take a look at what Robert Reich has to say about it (yes, I know I feature Mr. Reich a lot these days, but he is intelligent and has a way of cutting through the b.s. to make important and valid points) …


WHY ISN’T THE MEDIA REPORTING ON TRUMP’S GROWING DEMENTIA?

The evidence is increasing

FOTD 8th July 2024: Campanula | Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss

I have had campanula in my garden for many years, but a couple of years ago I suddenly got a white flower, otherwise they had all been blue. Since then the white flower, which was quite a smaller plant at the beginning, now returns every year and is getting larger. One of natures games I suppose
