Thank you for your life's work Jane Goodall. The world is better because you were in it! RIP 🐒

A very cool (and large) turkey vulture surveying the ground from my roof. What an impressive wing span! 🪶 #birds

In reality, companies arming the Israeli military, supplying bulldozers for home demolitions, or providing AI surveillance systems for a digital apartheid regime are being rewarded with billions in so-called "ethical" capital #ESG #ESGFunds #Gaza #FrancescaAlbanese

From Gaza to Sudan to the Congo, US-led capitalist extraction is waging a single, devastating war on people and the planet. There are other ways of doing things! #CapitalismKills #USImperialism #FreePalestine #HandsOffSudan #CongoIsBleeding #StopEcocide #AntiImperialism #GlobalSolidarity

The House just voted to let a mining company build a road through pristine Alaskan wilderness. An Alaska Rep called regulators the "unelected cubicle army." My latest on the ideology behind the destruction. #AmblerRoad #Alaska #Extractivism

It was so cool to see and hear this large common raven croaking this morning! 🪶 #Birds

We spoke to @bloomberg.com for this great investigation on conflict pollution in #Gaza: "so much environmental damage has been caused that it is undermining the basic life support systems that people rely on." www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Progress doesn’t come from asking permission within broken systems. It comes from defying the systems that protect harm and punish change! #ConservationRevolution #EnvironmentalJustice #GeorgeBernardShaw

Red squirrel in Tollymore Forest near Newcastle Co. Down. Always a joy to see. Great to know conservation efforts are paying off. Let’s keep it going! 🐿️🌲 #TollymoreForest #RedSquirrel #WildlifeConservation

Why do conservation groups respond to some wars and stay silent on others? This piece asks what their silence is really protecting. 👇 #Conservation #Conflict open.substack.com/pub/theconse...

We spoke to @thebulletin.org during #Israel's war with #Iran on how the conduct of the war was generating environmental risks that posed threats to human health and ecosystems. Learn more in our June 20 rapid analysis of the war, available here ceobs.org/the-emerging...

I ranked 12 of the world’s top conservation NGOs on how they respond to war and ecological destruction. Most speak when it’s safe but stay silent when it matters most. Ukraine? Yes. Gaza? No. This isn’t neutrality. It’s alignment. 👉 shorturl.at/dSLVa #Conservation #Ecocide #EnvironmentalJustice

Striped hyenas. Green turtles. Mountain gazelles. In Gaza, they’re disappearing beneath rubble and sewage. This isn’t just war—it’s ecological erasure. shorturl.at/YFvPI #Ecocide #ConservationRevolution

Herman Daly said it before most were ready: the economy lives inside nature. Soil, water, weather, biodiversity—these aren’t “externalities.” They’re foundations. The real crisis isn’t ignorance, but the pretense we can ignore this. #Conservation #Nature #ConservationRevolution #NatureRisk

The Doomsday Clock tracks nukes and AI, but ignores mass extinction. Trump’s second term is accelerating collapse. Iran burns. Gaza bleeds. And the living world keeps dying—invisible. 🕰 Read: theconservationrevolution.substack.com/p/midnight-f... #TheConservationRevolution

Businesses depend on $500B worth of "free" ecosystem services that are quietly failing. Protecting pollinators, water cycles, and soil could generate strong returns. My piece explores conservation finance evolving from charity to investment opportunity: substack.com/home/post/p-... #NaturalCapital

Anyone else having issues saving bird sightings with the Merlin app this weekend and ebird sightings not synching over to Merlin?

Spotted this beautiful Eastern Ratsnake calmly soaking up the sun at Greenbrook Nature Sanctuary in NJ. Harmless, non-venomous, and great for rodent control! 🐍 #NJNature #NJWildlife #Snakes

Spotted a pair of ospreys on the Hudson River in NY/NJ yesterday—fitting for Earth Day. These long-distance migrants return from South America each spring to nest along the East Coast. Their recovery after the DDT ban is one of the best-known conservation wins 🪶 #Birds #Birding #BirdingNY #BirdingNJ

Caught an amazing sight this morning—a Peregrine Falcon along the Hudson, stirring up the local pigeons. Wish I had my camera, but it was still a cool moment to enjoy 🪶 #Birds #NJBirds

A proud female White-breasted Nuthatch braving the snowy day!❄️⛄ #birds #birdwatching #WinterWildlife

A Red Kite gliding with its impressive wingspan across the skies of County Down, Ireland. While these native birds are still on a delicate path to recovery, targeted conservation initiatives in Ireland are crucial to bolstering their populations and ensuring their survival 🪶 #Birds #RedKite #Ireland

Thoughtful request to fellow bird enthusiasts: While documenting owls is exciting, extensive photography of roosting owls draws crowds and disturbs their daytime rest. We love these birds—let’s respect their space and privacy. To keep owls returning to NYC, minimal intrusion is key.

Long-eared owl in New York - these winter visitors seek dense pine stands for daytime roosting from Nov-March. Their camouflage is incredible, blending perfectly with bark patterns. Kept my distance, quick photo, moved on. Let them rest! #birds

Love how this model of conservation through community stakeholders (birdwatchers, landowners, locals) and economic incentives (ecotourism revenue) can be used to successfully protect endangered species and their habitats! 🏞️@mongabay.bsky.social #conservation news.mongabay.com/2025/01/bird...

Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day to all who celebrate! 🐿️ 🌰 #SquirrelDay

Ruddy duck diving on the Hudson River today. These specialized divers migrate to NY waters for winter months, plunging beneath the Hudson's surface in search of mussels, aquatic insects, and tiny crustaceans. #WildlifeNY #HudsonRiver #BirdingNYC #BirdingNJ

A Red-tailed Hawk swooping above me in Central Park. It's encouraging to see these wonderful birds becoming an increasingly common sight. #Birding #BirdWatching

Caught a rare sight in Central Park today: a snow goose visiting from the Arctic tundra, finding companionship among the Canadian geese #CentralPark #BirdWatching #addBirder
