Significant variability both between and within countries in gardening practices
Improving biodiversity in gardens needs regionally scaled strategies
Reducing pesticide use and increasing public awareness are key
Our indicators can support local strategies to increase urban biodiversity

🏡 Our main aim was to explore the ecological values of gardens and gardening practices, identifying characteristics that might contribute to building high biodiversity. 🐞🌿 🦋
The project was conducted in ten languages and implemented across nine countries in Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe.

The global human impact on biodiversity - Nature
Key measures of biodiversity were quantified and found to be affected by human pressures that shifted community composition and decreased local diversity across terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems.

Look, I know for many of us it’s a struggle just to face every day & deal with our own personal worlds. But every individual choice has a larger, longer impact. If you think paying attention to global ecosystem collapse is a luxury academic exercise, you’re wrong. This is our future.
🌍 Nature is declining faster than ever. Since 1700:
🔹 Wetlands: -85% 🌊
🔹 Coral Reefs: -50% 🪸
🔹 Forests: -32% 🌳
🔹 Ecosystems: -47% overall

Now this is exciting.
Antonin and his team have just published a study showing that the number of migrating hoverflies through Czechia are positively correlated with the numbers of birds!
Suggests that the birds are using the flies as fuel on migration.

The latest findings from #BeeWalk, our national bumblebee monitoring scheme, have revealed bumblebee numbers declined by almost a quarter (22.5%) across Great Britain💔

Give a group of scientists the same data and the same research question, and they should come up with similar answers—in theory. But they don’t.
