Racial profiling is all they do. Lawless.

Steve Pearce, Trump's nominee to lead the BLM, might be the single biggest threat Western public lands have ever seen.

He's long been obsessed with selling off our natural heritage & urged local governments to take control of federally protected public lands.

We must stop him.

shocker

is your presentation shareable?

‼️📰 Today, the federal government announced major changes that would weaken the Endangered Species Act.
🚨 These changes would put birds like Hawai’i’s ‘I’iwi at risk, removing protections from threatened species and their habitats.

Why did only one genus of insects, Halobates, take to the high seas? Oceans cover over 70% of the earth’s surface and house a dizzying array of organisms, including five species of the peppercorn-sized ocean-skater Halobates, which live exclusively at the ocean surface...

Why did I only just find out that that there are water striders that live IN (ON!!) THE OPEN OCEAN? 🧪

OCEAN STRIDERS!!

Our friend Peracca's Plump Toad is a very rare species of toad who lives in the Andes of southern Colombia and northern Ecuador! They are one of a few toads who are born directly as small toads and do not have a tadpole stage! (photo by Augustin Bussac)

A few home truths about the orange-bellied parrot, an excellent #AOC2025 plenary from @teamswiftparrot.bsky.social

Great #AOC2025 plenary by @teamswiftparrot.bsky.social on what we need to do to save the orange-bellied parrot. (And bonus points for photos of adorable parrot bubbas 🦜😍)

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Man smuggles nearly 200 exotic animals stuffed in his luggage: See the wild photos An Israeli man, 24, was caught allegedly smuggling 186 exotic animals from Thailand, including snakes, turtles and lizards, in his suitcase at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.

Big seizure of wildlife made in Israel. And... it came from Thailand!

15 Sulphur-crested Cockatoos Rescued from Smuggling Out to Maluku The owner of a box full of smuggled cockatoos managed to escape from the joint officers.

15 cockatoos saved from trafficking attempt in Indonesia...

The live bird trade in Indonesia is massive and widespread - and largely illegal. More effort is needed to tackle this conservation crisis.

Great to be on Whenua Hou last week, helping attach GPS tags to #kakapo ahead of the breeding season. We caught up with Rakiura - whom we're hoping will use the same nest for the 7th time. That's unusual - kākāpō normally don't re-use nests. #conservation #parrots

Biodiversity offsets failed to protect habitat in NSW. Now federal Labor is about to make the same mistakes, critics warn Offsets were meant to be a last resort for mitigating environmental damage from development projects, but rapidly became the default

The Albanese government’s nature reforms would change biodiversity offsets policy, including by setting up a “restoration contributions” fund. Guardian Australia reporting exposed major failures with a similar scheme in NSW. Experts are warning the federal plan could repeat those mistakes

With Lisa Cox's years of detailed investigations & reporting, there's ZERO excuse to NOT KNOW the many & varied failures of NSW's biodiversity offset scheme

Choosing to repeat these mistakes is contempt of public interest biodiversity policy
