Idk I just think it’s a terrible idea to base wildlife and conservation management plans primarily on the needs of an economy or industry instead of the fact we need biodiversity and a healthy planet to continue being fucking alive

Was sitting in on an agency meeting and they were talking about conservation management plans for non-game fish and mountain whitefish came up in passing and I just muttered “why it gotta be white” in the style of the one and only Rupaul Charles and nobody laughed

Dude, the dramatic shift in wildlife ecology to make everything fully remote and automated and run by artificial intelligence is so fucked. Like what, did you lose your passion and the will to connect with nature along the way? Loser behavior. Soulless. Disgraceful. Pathetic. Preserve the wonder 🪼💙🐳

Baby’s first prescribed burn 💛🧡❤️‍🔥🔥 If you feel inspired to try this at home, always do so with supervision, and keep it small. Keep a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher ready. Never try to perform a burn in populated areas, on windy days, or under drought conditions. Be smart, be safe, and rewild

Music for chasing tornadoes, leading a caravan, signing divorce papers, pondering where your truck is, watching cows get thrown through the air, leaving your fiance, dodging flying debris, getting back with your ex-wife, and braving the suck zone.

I adore the mystifying qualities of life on Earth, and that I’ll never truly be able to fathom the anatomical makeup of a barnacle

I no longer consciously know the coastal trails I used to wander in my youth, yet there remains some form of ecological knowledge hardwired into my body that can still take me from that one highway pullout, through the cedars, to the beach, and back again; persisting remnants of a migratory instinct

Fantastic resource if you’re just getting into native plant gardening, backyard conservation, and renegade ecosystem engineering. #nativeplants #wildflowers #nativegarden #habitatrestoration #conservation

The problem with many American conservation movements for species like salmon and waterfowl is that they’re a byproduct of capitalism and the systemic extraction of “natural resources”, and not necessarily implemented to protect biodiversity based on inherent ecological value alone

Love laying on the horn at reckless drivers, it conveys an emotion deeper than words could ever describe. I’ll honk until there’s no more eep in my beep. I’ll honk til the truck flips inside out. I’ll be 6 feet under and honking from the grave, honestly

Socioeconomic barriers erode passion and I’ve been reduced to volunteering my already limited time to participate in my field of study adjacently under the supervision of old white people who do this because they’re rich and bored #marinemammalresearch #citizenscience

Do rich white people even think before they speak or did generations of capitalism and colonialism render that a vestigial trait?
