That means your favorite hiking trails, campsites, and wild places could be sold off to the highest bidder. Tell your Senators to REMOVE this dangerous provision!

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

"Here are three words I'd like you to say today because I think they illustrate a lot about what's been going on for a while. Just repeat after me even if you don't believe it you might by the time this is done:
#1 defund
#2 destabilize
#3 privatize
... because that's what we're seeing."

Petition to fund wastewater testing to get updates more frequently - wastewater definitely didn’t look like this when I checked a few days ago 🫠
Covid demonstrably impacts health - test, mask, boost, stay home if + … and write to your MP about clean air, free tests, and an actual health response.

Can we predict which animals will be impacted by HPAI in Australia? Using case notifications from elsewhere, and host phylogeny, predictve model developed. Waterfowl, gulls, Gannets, Raptors have highest predicted notifications.

Can ring/band recoveries be an indicator of HPAI impacts? Excessive ring recoveries detected in 14 species: one raptor, eight seabirds and five waterbirds. Striking increases in seabirds = aligning with HPAI monitoring

Species distribution models for 40 wild birds camera-trapped at poultry farms, and linked to HPAI outbreak occurence: Herons/egrets, pheasant, moorhens most important. Ducks, gulls less so, but still there.

Questionaire for people in contact with birds, UK: ~50% poultry farmers. Handwashing, foot dips often used. More contact = more PPE used. Percieved risk pretty high.
