@blueland could you please make a environmentally friendly and pet friendly floor cleaner please?

(deep sigh) All six wildfires in the Pacific Cascade Region this weekend were caused by fireworks.

[Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources @waDNR]

(Falling to my knees, begging, pleading)
Please.
Folks, seriously.
PLEASE.
Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.

[Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources @waDNR]

Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.

URGING you to consider firework alternatives:

- screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky
- dropping a stack of large books on the floor
- wrapping a toga around a candle
- play America the Beautiful while combining Coke and Mentos

Another pangolin has been saved from the illegal wildlife trade thanks to @AfricanPangolin and a helpful tip from the public. This female pangolin was intercepted and handed over to APWG's counter poaching manager who transported her to Johannesburg Wildlife Vet for assessment.

@Pac_nw @WDFW Not to mention the benefits apex predators, such as the Gray Wolf, have on ecosystems. Several studies have shown this and continue to be studied and updated.

[Robin @DistantDireWolf]

@Pac_nw @WDFW Although I understand your concern, however, of the most hunted species in the U.S., there is an estimated 1 million Elk, 11,500,000 White-Tailed Deer, 1,500,000 Moose, 530,000 American Bisons, and 190,000 Mule Deer. Gray wolf population numbers are about 18,000 of most in Alaska

[Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife @WDFW]

Washington’s wolf population continued to grow in 2021 for the 13th consecutive year. WDFW's 2021 annual wolf report was released Saturday and shows a 16% increase in wolf population growth from the previous count in 2020. https://t.co/Ra5lw6B2qR

Just a reminder that spring is upon us and as species such as hummingbirds come out to feed, remember to change the nectar at least every 3 days. Nectar tends to ferment in warm weather and can cause hummingbirds to become intoxicated which can be detrimental to their health.

"Pangolins bear an unwieldy burden as the long-snouted face of the COVID-19 virus; identified as a possible link in the spread of the disease. But what is a pangolin? What can a pangolin teach us about surviving sickness, attacks, and isolation?" https://t.co/0xYhC9rLNc

[Robin @DistantDireWolf]

One study showed that pangolins were found to carry coronaviruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2 with 88.5-92.4 % similar. We still cannot say definitively that pangolins were the intermediate host that passed SARS-CoV-2 to humans https://t.co/P5uezIM0py

[Robin @DistantDireWolf]

Does this mean people should fear or persecute pangolins? No.
Please remember that pangolins are harmless to humans otherwise.
To avoid future wildlife-related pandemics — and related loss of life, economic collapse, and other turmoil — we need to end the illegal wildlife trade.

[Save Pangolins @SavePangolins]

Zimbabwe has some of the best pangolin protection laws, not only in Africa but in the world. If a person is convicted for any offence involving a pangolin, he or she is sentenced to a minimum of 9 years imprisonment without an option to pay.

🌱 “Rewilding” 🌱 or converting the least productive parts of the San Joaquin Valley back to their wild state, can reverse the damage from intensive agriculture and build resilience to climate change. | @highcountrynews @theo_whitcomb
