Of course…

Navajo Nation officials have contacted the governors of Arizona and New Mexico to address concerns about Navajo citizens being detained by ICE. www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

Trump Amin’s argument to suspend birthright citizenship questions Native Americans’ citizenship, citing 1866 Act:”all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the U.S.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

The top image shows California Gulch flowing into Sonora, Mex. This is one of the last homes for the endangered Sonoran chub, a fish clinging to survival. But in the fall of 2024, this sanctuary was obliterated. The bottom image shows the aftermath, a stark and lifeless reminder of what was lost.

My religious beliefs in a nutshell…

Interspecies drama from a New Mexico remote camera. An endangered Mexican gray wolf in the Gila returns to munch on a carcass and is blocked by a big ol' sleeping bear.

Earlier this year a beautiful and rare wild ocelot appeared on one of my trail cameras in a Sky Island south of Tucson, Ariz. Take a look. This cat likely crossed the U.S-Mexico border west of Nogales sometime in early 2024 and has traveled great distances in the U.S.

Border wall construction in southern Arizona's Pajarito Mts 4 years ago decimated the Mariposa Canyon watershed as well as jaguar & Mexican spotted owl critical habitat. The area remains in ruin today. Work crews continue to try to stabilize the site & the wall from collapse. The wall is useless.

Breaking: @centerforbiodiv.bsky.social is calling on AZ Game & Fish Commission to ban dog pack hunting for mountain lions, bears, coati & other wildlife. Currently hunters use GPS-collared dogs to track wildlife for miles via smart phone apps & satellites, putting jaguars & ocelots at risk.

Who is the greatest country musician of all time and why is it Sturgill Simpson?

While the number of people crossing the border increased exponentially since Trump’s wall went up a new study reveals an 86% reduction in wildlife crossings. At well over $20 million dollars a mile, Trump’s wall is both a wastefully expensive tactical failure & an ecological disaster.
