RT @NoemaMag: Pollen storms, a freak combination increasingly driven by climate change as potent pollen gets swept up by large thunderstorm…
Last winter, I travelled to Fiji to meet some very cute, very rare bats, and the people trying to protect their only known home – while also moving their own homes out of the way of rising rivers.
Can Fiji’s first bat reserve keep an incredibly rare species safe despite the growing threats of climate change and human activity? On #BatAppreciationDay, our new feature from @MonicaEvansNZ: https://t.co/klY0BxRvdy 📷 1: courtesy of @BatConIntl; 2, 3: Jürgen Freund https://t.co/w7wBcQr8ym
