Our original instructions guide us to steward and sustain precious ecosystems, forests, waterways, and the climate. We are climate leaders because we truly put our values into practice, which is reflected in our dynamic knowledge systems, cultures, and ways of being and knowing.

Do not let it be lost on you that Lāhainā is so dry because of illegal water diversions by sugar companies in the 1800s that have not been resolved, dispute years of activism to restore.

These issues are man made, protected by Corporate & State power.

Return Maui’s water now.

Getting real tired of being asked why the orcas are revolting and sinking ships

Is it really so much to ask???

[Tess Chapman @TessChapman]

@lbejder @fvivier89 Congrats! Can’t wait to read!

Another dawn, another day of fighting people on the internet who insist on saying “killer whales are actually dolphins, not whales”

It’s hard not to lose hope in times like these

BREAKING: The Biden administration has formally approved The Willow Project, despite opposition from the federally recognized Tribe closest to the project, the Village of Nuiqsut. Approval also ignores the millions of voters who spoke against the project. https://t.co/Kw3lDRRtyb

Today, we've declared 13 endangered Southern Resident killer whales as "vulnerable" -- and we're asking for everyone's help to give these orcas plenty of space during the busy summer boating season. Learn more: https://t.co/71y2wYdQMM

[SR3 @SR3Sealife]

There are two types of #whales: baleen whales and toothed whales. Baleen whales have hard plates in their mouths made out of the same material as our fingernails, which acts as a sieve. Toothed whales have teeth!

I hate that I have also experienced bullying this early in my career, and from a fellow female at that. Thank you @ashadevos for speaking up on this issue 💙

[Dr. Asha de Vos @ashadevos]

At the very start of my career as a marine biologist, I experienced severe bullying from a well-connected but disgruntled Sri Lankan man and his cronies. While this was not in an academic setting, my experience resonates.1/5
