RSPCA Recommends Meaty Pet Food for Hedgehogs
x/royal-society-for-the-prevention-of-cruelty-to-animals
— 1d
Experts say you can attract hedgehogs to your garden this autumn by leaving out a small amount of tinned meaty cat or dog food (and crushed biscuits), while avoiding milk and bread; place it in shallow bowls and refresh daily. For bees and other beneficial insects, let fallen leaves and some dead stems remain through fall and winter to provide natural nesting and overwintering habitat, reducing the need for heavy autumn cleanup.

Scientists Warn Strong El Niño Could Harm Galápagos Wildlife
x/galapagos-islands
— Sep 9, 2026
Forecasts of a stronger-than-normal El Niño indicate the Galápagos could face significant ecological stress as sea temperatures rise about 2.2°C above average, threatening both marine food chains and terrestrial forests. The impact endangers iconic wildlife such as penguins, boobies, petrels, albatrosses, sea lions, and key habitat like Scalesia forests, with invasive plants compounding the risk and prompting a coordinated mitigation effort including invasive-plant removal and seed preservation.

— Sep 3, 2026
The U.S. Forest Service is closing 23 research stations across more than a dozen states as part of an organizational overhaul led by President Trump to trim costs and focus resources in Western states; 41 additional facilities face closure but will remain open after local pushback, and 95 employees will be reassigned. The plan also relocates the agency’s headquarters to Salt Lake City and aims to save about $16 million, though conservation groups warn it could reduce forest access and harm habitats amid ongoing staff reductions.
