"Almost 1,000 oyamel firs ( Abies religiosa ) have been transplanted to a mountain in Michoacán, where they are growing at elevations beyond what was considered the species’ upper limit. If the trees survive over the next few decades, they could help to shield the migratory eastern population of monarch butterflies ( Danaus plexippus ), which spend the winter roosting in oyamel fir forests, from the impacts of climate change. This population of monarchs, which migrates up to 4,500 kilometres from the United States and Canada to Mexico, has declined dramatically since the 1990s, owing to climate change and habitat destruction."

"Each year, hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies over several generations find their way to the high mountains of central Mexico. There, they overwinter by clinging to the branches of the sacred fir tree Abies religiosa in massive blankets of fluttering orange and black."

"This migration miracle is threatened as global warming in the coming decades pushes temperatures too high for the forests of this revered tree to survive, even at the summits of the mountains where they now grow. But a recent experiment suggests this rare habitat might survive, if humans help the trees make a journey of their own."

Drought and heat in #Mexico:
"In January 2024, the Ministry of Agriculture (SADER) estimated a 20 to 40 % reduction in corn production directly due to the drought. By March and April, more products, including coffee beans, were at risk. And by May, some dams in the northwest portion of the country were below 20 percent capacity, endangering crops like corn and sorghum."

Imagine redesigning the water management for Mexico City, because that's what climate change demands. The most sobering statement from the report? It would take a decade of effort to remedy and so far no action is taking place.

Ecological infill might be part of that story, replacing hard surfaces with plant life. If it were perma-culture designed, people might also get some fresh produce out of it too.

@sysop408 Yeah, I am not sure if the celery & meth were weighed together or if the meth was weighed separately.

Either way, they arrested the guy transporting it.

I would not be surprised if the #GOP politicized this news as the Feds arrested someone from #Mexico 🇲🇽 over this drug trafficking (I am not sure if the driver was aware of what he was hauling).

"#Permaculture training, which has taught the community to farm in a sustainable and self-sufficient way, has been a game changer. The training has taught Perez that men and women are equal – a lesson which she has shared with her children. "I now know my boys need to learn to cook, and help in the house," she says. Having access to water to grow crops plays a key role in building gender equality, he says. Enabling women's participation in farming activities makes them financially active and resilient to #ClimateChange." #gardening #water https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240708-the-women-fighting-drought-in-mexico #Oaxaca #Mexico
