These are the folks making decisions on endangered species:

[Panthera @PantheraCats]

🐅🌏 As the only big cat species with an IUCN Red List designation of Endangered, tigers need each and every one of us on Saturday's upcoming #InternationalTigerDay. In many corners of Asia, #tigers suffer from poaching and habitat loss. 🧵

@Ologies Wtf?! I never rely on it for facts knowing it's just a language engine, but this is absolutely unacceptable!

[Aela Culver 🏳️‍🌈 @AelaWild]

@biologistimo Literally my face reading this. Wow.

@mikel_maria Volunteering at a legit sanctuary, all of our servals were formerly "pets". 🙄

@AIMcameratrap @AndrewBarnas I'll add opossums, raccoons, armadillos, pretty much any and all wildlife, tbh.

@abigailthiemkey You got it! Bobcat. One with a very uniform coat and not a lot of spots visible, but bobcat nonetheless.

A reminder to followers that pesticides that ‘only target Lepidoptera” kills ALL Lepidoptera. Butterflies, hummingbird moths, Luna moth, Monarchs, & 1000s of other species in your area. It also negatively effects anything that feeds on caterpillars e.g., your songbirds too.

This is a photo of a U.S. bee
The pollen on her legs is from dandelions & her tongue is sticking out because she’s been killed due to weed killer on dandelion flowers
Remember what many see as weeds, is natures food for #insects
No bees, no insects, no life

@ChristiansonAmy I heard your great @Ologies episode on Cultural Burning Practices. Just moved to CO & hoping to learn how to be a good steward to 5 acres of Ponderosas. Can you point me in the right direction? Neewe!

@AnneWheaton How awesome and lucky he is, and so are they for having this safe space to grow up. The world needs more of this. <3

#Yellowstone is facing massive flooding &rock/mudslides. I know of wildlife affected and lost already, I hope the rest are safe on high & stable ground. To those affected, you are, like the bison, strong, steadfast, and will endure no matter the conditions. #bison #naturefirst

Bison survive winter by growing thick coats, thickening their skin, & slowing down their metabolism. They're steadfast, resilient, & resourceful; born survivors that remind us challenges are opportunities to learn & develop strength, resilience, & wisdom.

Bald eagles gain their iconic white head & tail at sexual maturity around five years of age. They're proficient fishers & scavengers, so you'll find them in the mix at a carcass as well trying to grab a bite from the buffet.

If your goals don't scare you a little, they're not big enough.

This year my goals include getting a pretty big project off the ground to help others in conservation photography.

Want to lend your voice to my project? Link in bio.

I'm doing research to find out what resources female-identifying wildlife photographers need or feel are missing. Want to tell me what you need? Great, let's chat! NOT a sales call. https://t.co/lkXy5byQkl
