In this video, Ariana Gastelum, Marketing and Communications Specialist, shares the journey of a rescued Brown Pelican.

The Wattled Crane is not only the tallest flying bird in Africa but also the largest species of crane in the continent, and the second tallest crane in the world! 🌍 Adults are territorial, meaning you can find flocks consisting only of juveniles!

Coral collapse

Two of the most vital species of coral in Florida, elkhorn or staghorn, are “functionally extinct,” with scientists finding none remaining. We cannot ignore this alarming finding. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Coral #Extinction

Happy #BatWeek! Did you know bats have "silent screams?" Their high-pitched echolocation ​calls are outside the range of human hearing, but if we could hear them, they'd actually be quite loud!

In 2024, the climate crisis worsened in all ways. But we can still limit warming with bold action We are living in a hotter, more chaotic world, with more emissions, fires and fossil fuel consumption.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Labor’s environmental law overhaul: a little progress and a lot of compromise Labor’s long-awaited environmental reforms do represent progress. But ambition levels have been dialled back and much depends on the detail.

Milky Way over Trona Pinnacles

Here's another shot I took last week on my final Milky Way trip of the season. I still have tons of MW stuff to edit and/or re-edit from my 14 trips to the desert this year but I'm already looking forward to next season! #photography

A photograph of a Common Inkcap fungi that is seen among beech tree leaf litter. It is fairly young with an almost egg shaped cap that appears to be made of silky buff coloured threads with a slightly frilly end. Its stem is white and is leaning slightly to the right as viewed. The leaves that surround it blur out in the background in to the darkness. Taken in the UK

It might be Common but this Inkcap seemed perfect to share for #WildFungiHour 🍄 It really was shouting 'look at me' on the dark woodland floor! 😊 📷 🌿

Good evening everyone ✨👋

This heatmap displays the change in the mean annual count of specimens collected between 2010 and 2019 compared to the reference period of 1970–2009, in 1-degree latitude-longitude grids, across all three taxonomic groups combined (Chordata, Plantae and Arthropoda). Substantial patterns of decline are seen, particularly apparent across areas with historically high levels of collecting across Australia, North America, Western Europe

We're collecting less than half as many biodiversity specimens as in the 1960s-1980s, at a time when they're more important than ever for climate & ecology science. Natural history collections provide crucial data that no other source can match. Our new paper in Nature Comms: doi.org/10.1038/s414...

A classification unearthed: the history of palaeontological objects as cultural property in international law Abstract. Fossils are an overlooked yet threatened category of cultural property. This article traces how they became protected by international law under

Fossils are cultural objects - and this is not some woke b*llshit that people come up nowadays to spoil the fun in #palaeontology; this classification actually has a long history.
