Results of the UCLA-led study lend urgency to the need for wildlife crossings, structures that allow mountain lions and other animals to roam further and find a broader pool of potential mates. https://t.co/y123JXIK92

“The reason we are finding that rescuing this one mountain lion is so fulfilling is that she isn’t just one wild animal — she is an ambassador,” Johanna Turner, an advisory committee member with the Cougar Conservancy, said at the time.

I recently talked to a journalism class of college students, and we spent at least 75% of the class discussing how not to burnout & the negatives of the industry.

Two years ago these classes were asking my favorite events/experiences I've covered.

The youth are watching.

#NationalFireNews: The National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group at NIFC has decreased the National #PreparednessLevel to 1. This change is due to a lower risk of wildfires across most of the country and reaching containment goals for several large wildfires. #FireYear2021

Look, to all you out there that think wildfire photography is fun and games, it’s not. It’s hard work and dangerous. If you show up at a fire scene without the proper PPE, I will call you out, count on it. It doesn’t mean I don’t like you.

[Nabih @nabihbulos]

Please note that we're still unsure if this is the same attack as the drone strike. And as others have mentioned, if the drone used the R9X ninja missile, then it wouldn't have had this effect. This is why I'm being careful. Pentagon needs to clarify.
