At one time beavers numbered in the hundreds of millions. But their fur proved valuable enough to trappers that the North American beaver population dropped to near-extinction levels. Now, the plucky rodents have made a comeback. https://t.co/yWb0N5Jgyq

My colleague wrote a great op-ed in the @ABQJournal outlining the opportunities to utilize @usbr IRA funding to begin to address the water resource challenges facing the Rio Grande while benefiting fish and wildlife

https://t.co/KdqTACGR3n - thanks to @SenatorBennet @SenatorHeinrich and @SenatorMoran for introducing this important legislation

[Alex Funk @alexanderJfunk]

Aquifer depletion poses a risk to our ability to sustain communities, food production, and wildlife habitat - We need new approaches that work for farmers and the environment, like the bipartisan Voluntary Groundwater Conservation Act

We can make a lasting impact. The @BLMNational has a critical role to play in conserving & restoring land & water resources & building drought resilience. TRCP is working w/ partners like @TroutUnlimited to work w/ the BLM to maximize investments. https://t.co/5RY2zYr0TD

Well I guess we know why Justice Thomas really hates wetlands then

[Brett Murphy @BrettMmurphy]

Novelly also once brought Thomas to “Alligator” Ron Bergeron’s ranch/wildlife preserve on the edge of the Everglades. Inside, there’s an 1800s-style saloon. Bergeron is one of the biggest developers in Florida. He took the justice on an airboat tour.

“Only after the state threatened to cancel Fondomonte’s leases last month did the company disclose how much it pumps annually…Its consumption is equivalent to that of a city of more than 50,000 people, experts said.”

[Alex Funk @alexanderJfunk]

Outdoor landscaping/xeriscaping will not save the Colorado River, as the article note this company is just taking advantage of the state laws across the west that encourage near unlimited groundwater pumping with little incentive to conserve #CoRiver https://t.co/b3Zh6ixtp9

“We were not excited about Sackett,” Funk said. “But we’re glad Colorado is doing something about it.”

House version of the Headwaters Protection Act which would reauthorize the Forest Service's Water Source Protection Program, is introduced with bipartisan support! Thank you to Reps Costa and Valadao for taking steps to support watersheds and wildlife

[Alex Funk @alexanderJfunk]

Promising to see that the @usbr notice include the opportunity for a more holistic approach to Colorado River management that focuses on the long- term sustainability of both people and natural environment, minimizes system vulnerability, and increases system resiliency.
