1/ 🦤 Quan parlem d’extinció, solem pensar en quelcom llunyà, inevitable o que només afecta els animals.
Però la realitat és una altra: cada espècie que desapareix s’enduu amb ella funcions i recursos ecològics essencials per a la nostra vida. 🌾🐦

Els pròxims dos segles es podrien extingir 1.300 espècies d'ocells: és més del doble que els darrers 130.000 anys.

It’s horrible, but true. The ethereal, enigmatic Slender-billed Curlew has been eradicated. We are to blame. My blog below. @CurlewAction @CurlewLIFE curlewaction.org/slender-bil…

Un treball fantàstic de la @ItsNataliaMR com a part de la seva tesi doctoral! Molt content de poder-la dirigir 👏🏻🦤

Sabeu que existia una espècie d'ocell anomenada 'solitari de Rodrigues'? 😮 A nosaltres ens ho ha explicat l'equip d'ecologia evolutiva i resulta que és una espècie extinta amb aquest esquelet que us ensenyem a la foto 🦴🪶 També us volem descobrir perquè és tan important 😍🧵
