In order to stop the screwworm from advancing, says WCS’s
Jeremy Radachowsky, we must shut down illegal cattle trafficking through Central America and into Mexico.
Mexico, Guatemala, and the U.S. should halt this smuggling across the Guatemala-Mexico border.

A question I ask myself and others more often than I would like: what exactly are we protecting #MarineProtectedAreas from, if the most destructive, non-selective fishing methods are still allowed?
Great to see Sweden take this essential step - hoping that many other jurisdictions will follow.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words inspire us to fulfill our mission of saving wildlife and wild places. #MLKDay2025
