Science doesn’t just happen in a lab! There are many places to travel and see examples of earth’s history and biodiversity #6thextinction #finalthoughts

Apes do it all... except collective problem solving, us humans have a better grasp on that!! #ees028 #the6thextinction

[World Wildlife Fund @World_Wildlife]

The good news? There are more gorillas and chimpanzees than we previously thought. The bad news? 80% of these great apes live outside of protected areas. https://t.co/0yjXTTy6wa

Humans long ago likely (and unitentionally) caused the megafauna extinction, described as a “geologically instantaneous ecological catastrophe too gradual to be perceived by the people who unleashed it”. #6thextinction #ees028

Compare these two photos: the left depicts what the water flow of south-running water from Lake Okeechobee should look like: the right shows what actually occurs. #ees028

Pleistocene parks are the places where the rewilding of species take place. The goal is to recreate the ecological processes that occurred naturally before humans. #ees028 #iceage

[Jessie Levy @Jwl320]

Humans played a significant role in megafaunal extinction and now we are facing the ecological consequences #ees028 #rewilding

US highway 41 was built through the heart of the everglades over 90 years ago, but today it serves as a dam to block water flowing south #ees028 #everglades

Military bases have a higher density of threatened/endangered species than any other federal land — including national parks! #ees028

The last refuge of one of the world’s rarest butterflies, St. Francis’ Satyr, is at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. They are right in the impact zone for artillary training, but they need the disturbance to survive. #ees028 #militaryecosystems

The diversity in the #seedvault will be beneficial if diseases kill off a variety of a crop because there are multiple varieties of the same crop. #ees028

[Jessie Levy @Jwl320]

There is a global seed vault near the North Pole that holds the largest amount of food crop biodiversity in the world. #ees028 #seedvault

The giraffe wasn’t the only animal killed at the Copenhagen zoo. In March of the same year 4 lions were killed to make way for a new male. #ees028 #zoo

To prevent inbreeding, a male giraffe at the Copenhagen zoo was killed. Animal rights activist and others are upset the giraffe wasn’t sent to another zoo #ees028 #zoo

Black footed ferrets are the most endangered mamal in North America because they only feed off Prairie Dogs that are dying due to the Sylvatic Plague #ees028 #ferretdrones

[Jessie Levy @Jwl320]

There are fewer than 150 Florida Grasshopper Sparrows left in the prairie of central Florida, where they are endemic! #ees028 #grasshoppersparrow

[Jessie Levy @Jwl320]

There are only 350 whooping cranes left in the world! Considering there were none left in Eastern North America when the project began in 2001, this is amazing progress. #ees028 #cranesplanes

[Jessie Levy @Jwl320]

Gopher Tortoises have a dcreasing population because they have had significant habitat loss and they have a legacy as being food for humans during the great depression #ees028 #wildlifebusiness

Bard Owls arrived in the pacific Northwest in 1990, but recently their pverpopulation has started pushing native spotted owls off their territory. #ees028 #spottedowl
