Write and call your representatives. It’s a false narrative that protecting wildlife and people cannot be done at the same time. Save the ESA and the MMPA. 🐳 🐬 🐻 🐺 🐟

My new favorite person. Cheers to Daniel Rohlf from @lclarklaw.bsky.social for being the sole champion of the ESA and MMPA in today’s hearing by the House Commt. on Natural Resources. They stacked the witness list against wildlife and have flat out lied about the data we have regarding right whales

When do we get to hunt grizzly bears again?- seems like a weird and sick question to hang your hat on to dissolve the ESA and MMPA. Addison McDowell (R) from North Carolina.

And the Endangered Species Act. The summary is full of misleading analysis of threats to NA right whales among other things.

There's been lots of stories about H5N1, but I've yet to see a deep dive into where it came from—which is also the story of how industrial poultry production methods are responsible for turning harmless influenzas into monsters. My latest, for @nautil.us: nautil.us/the-unnatura...

I was feeling really stressed and the “dead shed” needed cleaning and organizing so a friend and I spent 4 hours making it nice and easy to use again. I am still fully stressed and now very tired- but in an organized way.

"the data we used started in the 1980s and cut out in 2020. This is all from before wind development really got going off the US east coast ... those who choose to blame the decline of North Atlantic right whales on the wind industry are either poorly informed, or else they’re just duplicitous" 🐳🌍🦑

A study combining camera traps and modelling finds that grizzly bears and wolves avoid busy hiking trails. The effect is twice as strong for wolves. 👇 This photo of a elk chased by an off-leash dog speaks for itself. More in The Applied Ecologist: appliedecologistsblog.com/2025/01/23/g...

Lots of people feed animals, and know that it alters their behavior. But since it often makes them do cute things like eat out of our hands, we don't mind! But it alters far more than that. It alters the animals' BODIES. www.sciencenews.org/article/hand...
