Troubling article on the work to save the smallest and rarest turtle. #seaturtle #marineturtle 🦑🌐🌍🦤🧪🐢

Hawaiʻi's Endangered Birds Bear Brunt Of Recent Federal Job Cuts Workers who had hoped to spend their careers supporting these at-risk local species have been let go. Now, who might take over remains up in the air.

"No official tally of the total Fish and Wildlife and National Park employees fired so far has been released for Hawaiʻi... However, former Fish and Wildlife employees have done their own tallies and estimate that some 420 workers have been dismissed from the agency in the purge."

Highlight of the day (and week!) was being given a copy of this wonderful book, which I had the privilege of indexing and proofreading!

Thanks to the lovely editors for letting me be part of the process, and especially Carl, a fantastic PhD supervisor😁

Members of the Advisory Council for Climate Adaptation Science stand with former US Department of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland at center. The group of 17 is smiling, standing behind a dark table in a white room with flags, windows and a large screen at their back.

I just received notice that the Advisory Council for Climate Adaptation Science for the Department of the Interior has been eliminated. It was an honor to serve alongside other experts to advance science-informed management of natural and cultural resources in the face of climate change. 1/

Weather and climate data shown on this website and countless others are at risk. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the U.S. agency responsible for global weather forecasting, hurricane prediction, ocean observation, and many other services vital to public safety. Its satellites, supercomputers, and research teams provide essential data that help us understand our planet and protect lives. On February 27, the new U.S. administration initiated mass firings at NOAA. These actions are unethical and deeply disruptive to the talented scientists and engineers who dedicate themselves to the public good. The firings, along with expected budget cuts, have serious implications for the availability and quality of weather forecasts produced by the United States. They must be reversed immediately. Much of the data on this website is downloaded directly from NOAA's servers. In this environment of uncertainty, access could be disrupted at any time. While I'll strive to keep all features on this website functional and switch to alternative data sources if necessary, some datasets have no substitute if they go offline. If this concerns you, speak up. Share on social media. And if you're in the U.S., contact your representatives. - Cameron

All websites that depend on NOAA data should display something like this.
