Check out our special feature!! We're excited to highlight some of the recent trends in the movement ecology field!

Woke and saw a News notification on my phone, and thought, “FINALLY, some fun news, instead of more hate and dread to start my day.” And then I saw everyone’s favorite Bluesky Dino expert wrote it 🥰 @restingdinoface.bsky.social

Go Fort Peck! We need more bison restoration projects 🦬🦬🦬

Short-term gain for long-term pain: after the feds, Quebéc's provincial gov't proposes a law stating that major projects can bypass Environmental and Endangered Species laws. These projects may be examined and amended, but WILL be approved.

Great to see some good news! :)

Climate crisis and overfishing contributed to loss of 95% of penguins in two breeding colonies in South Africa, research finds 🌎 🪶 Source: The Guardian search.app/Fq6i8

This story explains one of the primary reasons why most western public lands are in poor ecological condition -- chronic livestock grazing is allowed to continue irrespective of the damage being done and without any review. Private interests destroying public resources. 🌎

"I used to cut trees and never took the titís into account,” says Centena, calling the cotton-tops by their local name. “I ignored them. I didn’t know that they were in danger of extinction, I only knew I had to feed my family. But now we have become friends.” 🧪🌎🏺

Trump has murdered at least 83 people with extrajudicial military strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats. He needs to face consequences for this. His secretary of DHHS, RFK Jr., will kill several orders of magnitude more with this disinformation.

Our largest intact tract of public land and a place of staggering beauty, the Western Arctic in Alaska is a globally significant ecosystem supporting countless species and plays a critical role in stabilizing our climate. Now, as a gift to the fossil fuel industry, Trump is moving to open more...

This is an interesting, complex interaction. An *introduced* moth affects fruit characteristics, causing more animals to eat it. That could mean more seed dispersal, and it could also mean more seeds getting eaten and destroyed. 🪲🪳🌎🧪 fesummaries.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/b...

A powerful reminder that even the smallest migrants depend on places we’re still putting at risk!

Seems like a great opportunity for early career conservationists in California and New England!

“We need the world to be serious about tomorrow.” — Annie Buckle, Gwich’in Elder, N.W.T For Annie, living on the land is tradition & survival but shifting seasons, unpredictable fish runs & fires are changing everything. She shares why protecting the land & passing on traditional knowledge are key.

Beautiful storytelling on an important (and complex) conservation issue!

Sorry, but a lack of support for autonomous vehicles is not among Sec Pete's biggest missed opportunities at USDOT. For instance: 🔹 Failure to stop Tesla from lying about Autopilot, FSD, etc 🔹 Failure to curb car bloat 🔹 Continuing to spend fed $$ on highway expansions that won't fix congestion

Wow, super interesting study on snow, wolves, and cougars!!!

Will add that, though the study below deals specifically with megafauna’s role in regulating earth’s systems, biologists have told much the same story about the loss of diadromous fish, critical transporters of nutrients whose movements and populations modernity has thrown terribly out of whack.

Buried deep in the omnibus bill for its fall economic statement, the Doug Ford government has moved to repeal its own law requiring a climate plan and emissions reduction targets be established, via @fatimabsyed.bsky.social and @meyer.bsky.social #ONpoli thenarwhal.ca/ford-repeals...

Sounds super interesting!

Wildlife deserves more than minimum viable populations. Conservation should aim for ecosystems where species can thrive, not just survive. 💥🦬🌲 👉 Read more:

Years ago, I attempted a self-assessment of my potential gender biases in an academic research setting: ecoevoevoeco.blogspot.com/2016/04/subt... Today, I happened on a very nice summary of how to avoid such biases in letters of recommendation, which provides an comprehensive outline. Check it out

The Trump admin says CO can't get wolves from Canada bc of their ESA status. Instead, CO must get them from US Rocky Mountain states, most of which have declined to participate in reintroduction. The move effectively cancels the program. But does this mean if wolves are delisted, all bets are off? 🌎

We can do better than keeping species on life support. What would conservation look like if “thriving” — not just “surviving” — was the goal? 🦬🐺🐻 New article with @jonathan-farr.bsky.social !!!

Many aspects of 🏙️ city life are sustained by nature, preserving city ecosystems is important not only for global biodiversity but for local human quality of life.

Super interesting piece!

"Americans broadly support the restoration of wildlife, including large predators ... Going the distance will require sustained collaboration and investment in the communities we are asking to live alongside these animals." 🌎

£8mill raised so far - one year left to raise the rest.* This is truly the project to rattle the bucket for - a real chance for positive change for UK Wildlife. *£22mill's a single night's TV fund-raising - IT CAN BE DONE. @patrickbarkham.bsky.social's great action on similar projects prove it.

It’s always amazing to me that so many endangered species have the word “common” in their name. Really hammers home how quickly these conservation crises can arise. These animals were common as recently as when we were naming stuff!

So the Trump administration's concern for whales was all just a ruse?? Shockerrrrr 🌎
