This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it

If we continue burning fossil fuels and warming the ocean, coral reefs will become a thing of the past.

never forget that we’re currently facing total economic destruction because fox news got upset about 0.0001% of our population wanting equal rights

Check out who took residence in my BEE plant! This is my first spring with my #CaliforniaNativePlants and I am already considering it a great success. The bee plant stalk may die back, but the whole point is to create a habitat, and I can confidently say I have done that! #LeafCutterBee #BeePlant

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Pupy the African elephants is starting her fantastic new life at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil. A big thank you to everyone who made this happen!

#Easter is an important day for many and sharing a meal is a traditional part of this celebration. People like Betty who harvests carrots in CA’s Central Coast, make these sacred meals possible. #WeFeedYou

The lovely Pupy is enjoying her first day at the Sanctuary in Brazil. 💚💚💚 youtu.be/0DvDSH3TJKo?...

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 97 Buzz pollination - in brief. #bumblebees rapidly contract their flight muscles. This produces powerful vibrations which they channel to the flower using their legs/mouths. Result = #pollen explosion all over the bee. Happy bee! #bees #nature 🌍🐝

Giving shrubs a trim means checking them for #caterpillar we need to transfer to fresh branches, #Malificent

Take the bat pledge! It may look simple but these simple steps make a difference for a species group that is often misunderstood and maligned! See our Bat-friendly Communities Guidebook for ways to be a good bat friend! Little things make a difference. #BatAppreciationDay #BatsNeedFriends #Bats

California has 21 Salvia species (plus many cultivars). Two are annuals the remaining 19 are perennial which can (and do) hybridize. They have different bloom times from early spring through fall. I keep my favorite, S pachyphyla, isolated for seed collection. #CaliforniaNativePlants #nativeplants

Grants from the US federal government make up about 1/3 of our annual budget—and that funding is now at risk. Now more than ever, Xerces is looking to you, our community, to help keep our essential conservation programs going. From all the bugs out there, thank you! 💖🐝 xerces.org/give

The ‘Great Moose Migration’ 2025 livestream has started in Sweden and is delighting millions. The Great Moose Migration 2025 is streamed online by the Swedish national public broadcaster, SVT at svtplay.se/den-stora-algv… #WildlifePhotography #Wildlife #TheGreatMooseMigration #Moose 🫎

We are excited to announce the launch of lightsoutdc.info ! 🌃 This is a collaborative campaign to promote awareness on light pollution's harm to migratory #birds & human wellbeing. We're launching just in time, with an est. 3 MILLION birds projected to fly through the DC area tmmrw night! (contd.)

A palate cleanser of a palate cleanser.

This is BLM not FWS, but it seems likely to be coming to our way. Endangered species protections are being glossed over. “These lands serve as habitat for 23 federally endangered species..” This is not good for anyone. This is not efficient. Illegal crossings in these areas are at historic lows.

Pupy is on her way to Elephant Sanctuary Brazil. So exciting! youtu.be/DHUBdWm2HN4?...

Our first Lights Out Alert is tonight (4/14): An estimated 4.1 million birds will be migrating over Oregon skies! ✨ Every light turned off reduces the risk of window collisions and keeps their journey on track. Help them travel safely by turning off all unnecessary lights from 11 p.m. to dawn.

PSA - leash your dog when you’re out for a walk. I don’t care if your dog is old or gentle or whatever. Your dog being off leash makes other dogs (who are on leash) very defensive and go into attack mode. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

This group of Black River Turtles (Rhinoclemmys funerea, Tortuga Negra in Spanish), seen in Costa Rica by prodewald, is our more-than-#TwoferTuesday Observation of the Day! More details at: www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Brilliant economic analysis by Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com

We need to focus more broadly than events in the White House. The entire GOP is working to give our Federal lands to private interests. Eliminating Federal land jobs will discourage public visitors. Extractive industries will do permanent damage. We must stop the privatization of our land.

Honeybees push out native bee populations.

Is this who we are? 😳🇺🇸

The otter keeper gave this baby otter a sock to keep warm. She later turned it into a onesie with holes for the hands, feet, and tail

Good Morning! Slow the Mow - Let the Dandelions Grow! Dandelions are a great early blooming source for pollinators in the Spring. 💚💚💚

Ok so you know how you love those protest signs? Now make them on thin paper and glue them to underpasses and street poles and construction walls and backs of street signs and boarded up windows. Keep your message going. Do some street art.

Few things are more toxic than pet flea and tick collars. They pose significant risks to pets, owners, and are especially destructive to aquatic ecosystems. Here are three examples: 1/4

Bumblebees on Wild Bergamot - native to most of North America, specifically across much of the United States and Canada, excluding Florida and California. 💚

Good Morning! Today is a great day to help some pollinators by planting native flowers for your area. Need some tips on what to plant? Xerces.org is a great place to start. xerces.org/pollinator-r...

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

🤣

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities. Tell Congress to protect library funding: bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries #ForOurLibraries

me to the united states: this could be us but you playin’

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Dandelions help to fertilise top-soil. Their deep roots bring nutrients to the surface, which helps shallow-rooted plants to thrive. The nectar and pollen of these cheerful native wildflowers are vital food for many early Spring insects. Please don’t weed out these useful flowers!

We should probably invest more in seminatural agrosilvopastoral systems like #montado and #dehesa in the Iberian Peninsula. When well-managed, these landscapes naturally support rich biodiversity. 🧪

going to start calling myself a centrist and then listing all my leftist views as proof, just going to start moving the overton window by force
