I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE LA ZOO @LAZoo, ST. LOUIS ZOO @STLZoo, AND GEORGIA AQUARIUM @GeorgiaAquarium ALL HAVE BLACK DIRECTORS AND I AM BURSTING WITH JOY!

Learning this has reinforced my sense of belonging, my hope for equity in conservation, and my excitement about the work!!!!

Check out this short video to see how satellite tags are applied to endangered hawksbill and green sea turtles. @ConservationOrg hopes the tracking data will help us protect the areas most important to the turtles. https://t.co/j4IBuraL2N

Three conservation stories you may have missed: With so many big issues in the news recently, environmental stories can slip under the radar. #RacialJustice #Deforestation #MassExtinction

Today 5 female juvenile #kakapo have been transferred from Anchor Island to Te Kakahu/Chalky Island in #Fiordland. This is another step towards making Te Kakahu a breeding island, after the first two females were transferred last month. #conservation #parrots

Hey @BlackAFinSTEM, #BlackAFinSTEM, #BlackBirdersweek, #BlackinSTEM. If you have a story about experiencing racism & discrimination while working/volunteering in conservation that you want to tell, please get in touch. This platform is modest, but I'd like to use it for good.

[Corina Newsome, M.Sc. @hood_naturalist]

This interview with @ScienceMagazine ended up being much deeper, much more transparent than I anticipated. Thank you, @k_langin, for providing a platform for me to share my heart.

Is lockdown actually good for conservation? Unfortunately, there's been a huge spike in poaching; due to fewer people around to deter poachers, & millions without employment needing a food source. A complex issue! https://t.co/9rkCxljAUA

We are looking for new contributors and editors, so get in touch if you are interested in conservation, journalism, and/or science communication! 🦥🦍🦩🐻‍❄️🌸🦎🦇🦒🦤
