Amazing to see how widespread this event is! Even the Library of Congress is participating #Frankenreads @paBAPL @DolanElizabethA

It’s really interesting to see the various interpretations of the creature projected behind the readers. Our pop culture perception of his appearance is very different from early visuals #Frankenreads @paBAPL @DolanElizabethA

For the first time ever, WWF is tracking 15 river dolphins in the Amazon using satellite tags. The information gathered will help us learn more about them and the threats they face. https://t.co/p4c06uqCHY via @Nightline

The $18 Everglades Restoration Plan is proposed projected to be finished in 2030 and aims to restore 2/3 of the Everglades' original water flow #ees028 #everglades

[Charlotte Murphy @charmurphy4]

When the Tamiami Trail was built in 1915 the highway resulted in also acting as a dam. It blocked the water flow from Lake Okeechobee to the Everglades. Areas of the Everglades that used to be wet all year now dry up for months at a time #ees028 #everglades

[Charlotte Murphy @charmurphy4]

Development has resulted in the destruction of about 50% of the Everglades. The majority of this is heavily developed, so it is impossible to restore them to their original state. However, the Everglades Restoration Plan is aimed at preserving what is left #ees028 #everglades

Tasmanian devils are dying due to a contagious facial cancer. Low genetic diversity has been part of their species since before Europeans arrived, but now small numbers and fragmentation are taking their toll. Crowdfunding provides hope though! https://t.co/vWhusnzTHv #ees028

The collaboration of the US Army and conservationists in an effort to preserve the red-cockaded woodpecker serves as a model of the positive impact we can have on the environment if we work together #ees028 #militaryecosystem

[Charlotte Murphy @charmurphy4]

The US Army worked with conservationists to preserve the red-cockaded woodpecker that inhabited a military base. The army changed some of its training practices and in effect, the woodpecker populations began to increase #ees028 #militaryecosystem

Artillery fires at Fort Bragg clear out forests and wetlands. These fires are essential to the endangered Saint Francis' satyr butterfly because they need disturbance in their environment in order to survive

[Charlotte Murphy @charmurphy4]

The Saint Francis' satyr butterfly lives in the impact zone at the Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina. While some butterflies are kills in the crossfire, the species actually depends on the artillery fires for survival

While it may seem like an unlikely environment for many species, military bases actually provide a habitat for some endangered species #ees028 #militaryecosystems

This article discusses both sides of the controversy surrounding the giraffe at Copenhagen Zoo. Perhaps they could have relocated him to another zoo outside the EAZA? #ees028

Some argue that shooting Barred Owls is the only way to save the Spotted Owl, while others think that it is not fair to kill one bird to save another and that nature will figure out a way for the two to coexist #spottedowl #ees028

[Charlotte Murphy @charmurphy4]

Advocates of the Spotted Owl are proposing to shoot and kill Barred Owls as an experiment to reduce their populations to protect the threatened Spotted Owl
#spottedowl #ees028

[Charlotte Murphy @charmurphy4]

The growing population of Barred owls is pushing the spotted owl out of its territory #spottedowl #ees028

[Charlotte Murphy @charmurphy4]

In the 80's, the effort to protect the spotted owl lead to a decline in the timber industry #spottedowl #ees028

This visualization shows that new record highs occur nearly twice as often as new record lows #ees028 #climatemyth

As members of a wealthy and industrialized country, it is important to know that our exuberant carbons emissions affect the future and safety of poorer countries. Our actions have consequences! #ees028 #kidsclimate
