Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Wolf hunters in Spain allowed to keep heads as trophies La Rioja has become the first region to permit souvenirs from killing the animals, to the disgust of conservationists

Outrageous and unacceptable. La Rioja, Spain now permits hunters to take wolf heads and pelts as trophies. This small Iberian wolf population faces serious danger, and years of protection are at risk. #stoptrophyhunting #protectwolves

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000.

Children are starving to death.

Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Democratic senators press Trump administration on how it will protect endangered species Last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service proposed a rule that says habitat modification shouldn’t be considered harm because it isn’t the same as intentiona...

Thank you @booker.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov + @whitehouse.senate.gov for standing up for the ESA + endangered species!
