Corpse flowers are threatened by spotty recordkeeping
Incomplete data leads to low genetic diversity, population decline

EurekAlert!Corpse flowers are threatened by spotty recordkeepingPlant biologists examined records for nearly 1,200 individual corpse flower plants from 111 institutions around the world. The data and records were severely lacking and not standardized. Without complete information, conservationists were unable to make informed decisions about breeding their plants. Out of the plants studied, 24% were clones and 27% were offspring from closely related individuals. Low genetic diversity could lead to further endangerment and even extinction.

A 15-month-long investigation has exposed the cracks in international conservation efforts around the hunting of Maltese falcons and other species in Egypt.

Millions of euros have flowed from EU conservation funds to protect these species, only for them to be gunned down by Europeans in Egypt.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) recently updated its Red List of Threatened Species to include an additional 482 fungi, bringing the total to roughly 1,300 species of mushrooms, puffballs and other fungi. More than 400 of the species assessed are at risk of extinction, primarily threatened by agricultural expansion, deforestation and climate change, according to the IUCN’s latest update.

"The logging industry is finding ways to get around the so-called ban."

"A loophole in the law banning Victoria's native timber harvesting means logging projects can still go ahead as the state government passes project approval responsibility to local councils."

"How could it be that a local council would have the expertise, the biological and ecological expertise, to approve logging in an area? When you log and regenerate an area of native forest … that same area of forest becomes much more flammable for a prolonged period of time," Professor Lindenmayer said. "I don't think that we should be adding that extra fire burden for rural and regional people to have to deal with."

Loophole in native timber ban allows scope for private logging
By Tavleen Singh

The Victorian government has tasked councils with approving native timber logging projects for private land, creating a loophole that allows harvesting despite a statewide ban.

New Earth is manifesting with geographical and solar changes. As part of the Earth’s creative process, energetic frequencies are raising. What is not in tune or in harmony with these higher frequencies will not be supported. The shifts occurring are welcoming Divine Feminine energies as the old patriarchal beliefs and structures fall away. This alchemy of Creation is palpable. Allow the Light to flow through you and ride the waves of rebirth through the breath. It’s a process and requires time. “Creation” (C)2025 Karen Ollis https://www.ollisphoto.net #KarenOllisPhoto #FLOW #FINEARTPHOTOGRAPHY #NATURE #FRESHWATER  #CONSERVATION
