Tom put it best: "You can't spend time in nature without beginning to actually relate to it.” Did you spend time out in nature today? How did it make you feel? #EarthDay #Biodiversity #Conservation

Our recap of participating in the first #DCClimateWeek is out! lovejoycenter.arizona.edu/news/lovejoy...

You know you're on the right path in life –– literally! –– when you unexpectedly bump into an old friend while birdwatching in a light rain.

We couldn't have gotten a better group of people together to talk about the future of nature financing at the very first DC Climate Week -- and what a time to be in DC! Let's keep the energy going 💪

"I look around and watch so much of that work being unraveled, ignored or worse––erased.... Why are U.S. citizens turning their backs on science?" -Jayni Chase It's time to stand up for science, and keep building on the progress we've made––not erasing it. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

On this #EarthDay, we remember Thomas Lovejoy's enduring optimism: "This should be a moment in which humanity recognizes that it’s time to embrace nature, to restore nature, and to build a much more biological basis for the support of our civilization.” lovejoycenter.arizona.edu
