#Polarbears

Let's be clear—"take" means kill.

You now have just HOURS to object to polar bears being killed in Oil and Gas activities year round— for FIVE YEARS.

A quick comment is all that's asked of you. It's very easy.

This is extremely horrible.

Billions of ancient Trees at risk in Oregon as Trump plans to cut them down to boost profits of lumber industry
which will be devastating for wildlife birds and bees and human health as these trees filter the water and much more

I love that the bryant park woodcocks are going viral because there are few creatures that combine magic and idiocy so well but it bears mentioning that a lot of the birds don't make it out of the park alive. Each of these dots represents a woodcock killed by a window strike.

The official vote is in from W Pacific Fishery Council. Every single Pacific National Monument will be opened to commercial fishing.

Longlines in Papahānaumokuākea. All fishing gear in Rose Atoll. The entire Marianas Trench reserve gone.

~80% of US protected waters abolished.

For all those cheering on the decision to keep the national parks open during the shutdown, what you are cheering on are risks of harm to wildlife and irreparable damage to the landscape. Prior shut downs saw our national parks trashed, with people cutting down Joshua trees, driving in protected meadows, spraying graffiti, piles of trash etc.

You are also cheering on park rangers who have to work without pay and work ten times as hard to cover the staffing shortages to keep the park open. You are also cheering on the staff being furloughed and worrying about covering rent without pay.

I wish the community businesses stood up for the park and park rangers more-they profit off them. I wish those not wanting their vacations interrupted stood up for the park and park rangers more-they dedicate themselves so that you will have a wonderful visit.

Imagine if we all stood up and said no. Instead of promoting the idea it’s okay to keep the parks open, we told our elected leaders no. If businesses and park visitors instead said this is not okay. We might not have a shutdown to begin with.

as a former public lands worker i really need it to become more common knowledge that every presidential administration since reagan has set the parks up to fail. the forest service under biden had half the staff it had in 1990

[That Bird Guy! @JeffreyMWard]

My town is home to large roosts of purple martins. When I say large, I mean thousands. They roost in trees at the nearby university (Texas A&M), or at least they TRY to.
The university has now hired a company to purposely scare away these large flocks of roosting martins.

Summer means newly fledged birds are everywhere, still mastering flight and foraging. Outdoor cats are one of the leading causes of injury and death for these young birds. Keep your cat indoors year round to give them the safe start they deserve!

Now the DOGE scumbags are coming for the Bird Banding Laboratory (part of USGS). They just lost two senior staff members and are going to be stretched extremely thin. Without their office, bird research does not happen.

[Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center @SMBC]

It's a migration celebration at the Zoo’s Bird House!

On Saturday, May 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., join staff of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and other conservation organizations as they welcome back millions of birds from their seasonal migrations.

96M Americans enjoy birding, contributing $279B annually to our economy. Removing incidental take safeguards that prevent bird deaths threatens both wildlife & livelihoods. It’s time to strengthen bird protections, not roll them back. https://t.co/5N0JpD4OSj

If you’re wondering why some shorebirds stand or hop around on one leg, you’re not alone. https://t.co/QQ81nAHn5K
