#Oregon has introduced bills to allow Mountain Lion Hunting using radio collard dogs. The dogs chase the lion up a tree and the hunter shoots and kills the lion. RT to ban all #TrophyHunting

We live in a society that runs on fossil fuel. That means we must take a "middle path" when it comes to reducing our emissions.

It's impossible to get to zero w/o massive systems change. But using less is still one good way (among many) to shift culture. individual ↔️ collective

2°C of warming is worse than 1.5°C, and 1.5°C is much worse than the 1°C we’re at now.

At 1°C we're seeing:

Fastest decline in Arctic sea ice in 1,500 years

Over 8 inches of sea level rise since 1880

More damaging extreme weather

Today, I used an airhorn to demonstrate how disruptive seismic airgun blasting is to marine life. It was LOUD. Now imagine that sound 16,000x louder, repeated every 10 seconds for months, when you depend on sound to communicate/navigate. That's what seismic airgun blasting does.

@DevinNunes I only wish I were treated this way at restaurants instead of having straws slapped on my table whether I want one or not. At least you were give a choice. Isn’t that what makes America Great? Having choices?

World's smallest bird of prey - Here are bornean #falconets clips I shot. The insect it is eating is a large grasshopper to give you a scale. They are a Sabah (Borneo) endemic. PS:Do you like the animations or should I keep it plain videos? @Avibase @audubonsociety #birdwatching

Every day millions of gallons of water loaded with toxic metals — like arsenic & lead — flow from contaminated mining sites in the US and into surrounding lakes and streams without being treated.

Despite the fact that a majority of Americans support strong clean water protections, the president and 31 states known for weak water protections have eagerly bowed to and now enable polluters in attacking and obstructing the Clean Water Act. https://t.co/H3glP6sipq

16 months ago, parts of Sonoma County were ablaze in a giant fire. Today, parts are underwater after 20 inches of rain in 48 hours. That's an astonishing amount of water

Rhino poaching is a dire issue.

Last year 1,028 rhinos were mercilessly KILLED.

🦏 With only a handful left in the world, we need to work together and end this slaughter 🦏

To those who say it's not possible...

“In the 1960s and 70s, Costa Rica had the highest per capita deforestation rate in the world. We have managed not only to stop deforestation but to double forest coverage”
