Here is Captain Crozier walking away from his ship while sailors chant his name after he was relieved from duty for blowing the whistle on a coronavirus contamination aboard the USS Roosevelt.

He sacrificed himself and it sounds like everyone knows it.

The impacts of #climatechange are being felt around the world + we must take action. We only have #onehome:

Norway is banning cars from the centre of Oslo.
Parking spaces are to be replaced with flower beds. 🌸
60km of cycle lanes are being built. 🚲

We have solutions to the #climate crisis. Let's implement them.

"Rain is becoming more frequent in Greenland and accelerating the melting of its ice, a new study has found"

"And if all of that ice melted, the sea level would rise by seven metres, threatening coastal population centres around the world"

Air pollution is now more deadly than war, smoking and TB. It kills 7 million people every year.

We have solutions to keep our communities safe and deal with the #climate crisis. Let's implement them. #GreenNewDeal

Our #30earthmonthheroes hero today is Mike Gawel, whose passion for his work spreads into all areas of his life. Over 40 years of experience as a biologist and environmental planner has endeared him to many communities in the Pacific Islands. Happy birthday, Mike!

[The EBL Project @TheEBLProject]

EBL'ers Martin Kastner and Zia Crytser came across a strange finding in the forest the other day. It is a deer skull stuck in a tree and the tree has grown around it. Any ideas about how this happened? (Photo taken by Zia)

Dr. Margie Falanruw is our first of #30earthmonthheroes. Born and raised in Guam, she is a world-reknown scientist as well as a champion for environmental conservation and cultural preservation. Fun fact: Also a tight-rope walker and trapeze artist.

[The EBL Project @TheEBLProject]

Today's #30earthmonthheroes is Dr. Gordon Rodda. His research improved control methods for the invasive Brown Treesnake & increased our understanding of the ecology of lizards, frogs, and small mammals of the Marianas. He is an inspirational & supportive mentor to many of us!

[The EBL Project @TheEBLProject]

James Mangloña is our #30earthmonthheroes hero for today! He is an icon of conservation for #rota and the #marianaislands and has helped restore watersheds and bring plant species back from the brink of extinction. Biba Siñot Mangloña!

[The EBL Project @TheEBLProject]

Today, for #30earthmonthheroes we pay tribute important authors of historical botanical works in the Mariana Islands: Willam Safford (Useful Plants of Guam), Fosberg and Sachet (Flora of Micronesia), and the founder of the Guam herbarium, Benjamin Stone (Flora of Guam).

[The EBL Project @TheEBLProject]

Today, we are excited share about Lauren Gutierrez as one of our #30earthmonthheroes! She is a brilliant naturalist and is the authority on Mariana plants, yet remains humble and gracious, and continues to do groundbreaking work on restoring native plants.

[The EBL Project @TheEBLProject]

Biba to today's #30earthmonthheroes hero, @GuamCoral. Dr. Shelton is a CHamoru biologist and current director of the Center for Island Sustainability. We thank him for his promotion of diversity in sciences and being an inspiration to many local aspiring biologists!
