Study in PLOS ONE indicates traffic noise masks the benefits of #naturalSounds on #stress and #anxiety. Reducing urban traffic speeds may enhance well-being by preserving natural soundscapes. @plos @PLOSONE doi.org/g8r8ng medicalxpress.com/news/2024-…

Natural soundscapes enhance mood recovery amid anthropogenic noise pollution

In urbanised landscapes, the scarcity of green spaces and increased exposure to anthropogenic noise have adverse effects on health and wellbeing. While reduced speed limits have historically been...

"With the most common form of bat crime being disturbance or destruction of roosts, it is vital that we maintain and enforce protections. Without this action, we will not meet targets to halt the decline of species." - @_BCT_ CEO, @KitStoner #EndWildlifeCrime

Today we release our annual report on wildlife crime📢 A lack of convictions for crimes including raptor persecutions means criminals who harm nature are getting away with it🦅 Read more, including our recommendations on how to #EndWildlifeCrime👇 wcl.org.uk/wildlife-crime-pr…

A #newpaper out this week in @J_Exp_Biol by @BatDeterrentRes ! Lia shows that acoustic deterrents could be an effective method to reduce human impact on #bats - removing bats from areas where they risk direct mortality from #windturbines or roads 🛣️🦇 journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

Very chuffed to have my paper accepted by @J_Exp_Biol! We used thermal stereo-videogrammetry to track #bat flight paths in #3D in response to an acoustic #deterrent. @ecotricity @simonpic78 @JonesLabBris #bats #conservation Check it out 👉 journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

Think before you insulate your cavity walls! #bats #conservation
Fiona Mathews@MathewsFiona21 Apr 2021
Thinking of cavity wall insulation? You might even get a grant. But many #bats live in cavity walls. Polystyrene beads mixed with glue (a favoured product) are fatal. This bat died after 24 hours. Please avoid! @_BCT_ #GreenDeal #insulation @BatConIntl @beisgovuk
