Penguin guano is an important source of climate-relevant aerosol particles in Antarctica - Communications Earth & Environment Penguin colonies emit gaseous ammonia that enhances new particle formation processes in Antarctica, according to online observations of gaseous ammonia and aerosol particles from a coastal site in Ant...

Penguin poop gives off ammonia, which enhances cloud formation and cools coastal Antarctica, allowing more penguins to poop there, probably. 🐧🧪

📣 Help our #ConservationDogs prepare for their "impawtent" role as #Bumblebee Nest Detection Dogs!

We're looking for BB nests to teach our dogs the odor! 👇🏽🐝🐕‍🦺

We would not be who we are today without our 🌈 Dogs. We hope they know that our #ConservationDog program exists because of their special souls.

Thank you for your service to #nature & #wildlife.

And can we get some Paws Up for our retired and semi-retired crew??! 😍 These pups may have slowed down, but they ♥️ still love their "job" for #wildlife, and will assist in gentle detection projects. 👉🏽 🐛🦋🐝🐢

A special nod to our Seasonal Rogues 🤘🏽🐕‍🦺 : The personal #WildlifeDogs of our seasonal Bounders (👈🏽 Our word for our Detection Dog Handlers).

We're 🍀 and adopted these 4 "newbs" into our #ConservationDog family this past year 🥲🥰👇🏽

Happy #EarthDay from our pack of #ConservationDogs. From semi-retired (Filson, L), to new recruit (Echo, R), our dog teams work diligently in service to the environment, detecting data on wildlife. Whatever may come, we are grateful to "pawtner" with such dedicated cowoofers in service to nature 🌎🐕‍🦺

Honored to present at the Endangered Wildlife Trust, African K9s in Conservation Conference 2025. We're sharing the legacy of #ConservationK9 Scooby who spent 2 yrs sniffing for lions, cheetah, leopards & wild dogs in 🇿🇦 & 🇲🇿. Find this research: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

🧪 This is *why* our Wildlife Detection Dogs work so hard to detect data of endangered species... It's all about the 💩!

Thank you! We're keeping our paws crossed that many of our wildlife projects will still occur. It's just a scary waiting game. 🤞🏾

Just got our 1st call, likely not the last: one of our wildlife projects is at risk. We rescue shelter 🐕, who 💕 🥎, to find endangered species & support noninvasive wildlife research. That's it. We don’t ask for much. Just the chance to help our natural world. Uncertain times ahead. 😔💙🌎

What the actual? 🤬

Gorgeous! 🐳

These are beyond cute and put a smile on our faces at a time when we really needed one. Thank you. 🦝🦦

Love it! "Bad Doge" signs at the #protests

I would love to see photos and videos of the protests you joined today! These are from Spokane, WA. RESIST!!!
