#Rewilding is often mischaracterized as nostalgia — a sentimental longing for some imagined pre-human wilderness, or a technical conservation strategy dressed up in romance. That framing misses what rewilding actually disrupts. (1)

Who are you going to vote for? The top 10 ranked schools in the US are run by Democratic Governors, House, and Senate (except PA has GOP Senate). The bottom 10 states: 8 out 10 are all GOP run and NM is GOP House & Senate. worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankin...

EU’s energy crisis response is broader than expected: remote work mandates, heat pump subsidies, EV leasing schemes — plus electrification targets and new laws to tax electricity below fossil fuels.

It was just after midnight. Iryna Stetsenko had finished doing her nails for her wedding. They had no idea that the world's worst ever nuclear accident was unfolding less than 2.5 miles (4km) away. BBC 19th April 2026 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pakistan went from <5% to 25%+ solar in 4 years. Remarkable. I was cited in Pakistan's Express Tribune on exactly this — but also on what the Hormuz crisis revealed: electricity resilience ≠ energy security. tribune.com.pk/story/2602438/ending-oil-dependency-cycle

2026 Oil/Gas Price Spike is different! Why? Cheap EVs, cheap home solar, cheap batteries and better heat pumps are available to substitute for oil and gas burners. China's low-cost, high quality EVs are also available in UK. www.theguardian.com/business/202... #energysky

Good morning with good news: Cheap EVs arrive in UK with 2026 Oil Price Spike & UK solar/heat pump sales surge. 1. EVs cost less to buy for the first time! 2. Solar home system sales skyrocket ~80% in March. 3. Heat pump installations double in March. www.publicnow.com/view/5B62B1A... #energysky

How many people out there are giving wildflowers a chance by leaving areas of their gardens uncut this year? Please repost if you are offering a lifeline to pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and bats by mowing less!

Earthjustice is suing Trump's EPA for failing to fully implement the lifesaving national soot standard that is supposed to protect us from dangerous air pollution. Doctors and scientists have made it overwhelmingly clear that soot pollution sickens and kills people.

Can paying people to photograph wildlife save species? KehatiKu, a program in Indonesian Borneo, is testing this model by paying citizens to log sightings. While the app has collected 175,000 records in its first year, experts question if financial incentives can sustain long-term conservation.

HUGE! China will DOUBLE its non-fossil fuel energy (not just power) supply by 2035! China's 2025 electricity was ~42% non-fossil fuel or about 4,000TWh. Given demand growth, doubling clean generation output would raise its share to ~66% by 2035. HUGE! www.bloomberg.com/news/article... #energysky

The golden-headed lion tamarin’s range has shrunk by 42% since 1992. To combat a 60% population decline, a new Brazilian center is rehabilitating tamarins displaced by urban sprawl. The goal: move them from dangerous city streets back into the native forests they need to survive. Learn more! 👇️

Blue-and-yellow #macaws 🦜 are flying over #Rio again after about 200 years, thanks to a project that’s bringing back animals lost from the forest 🌳. They disappeared mainly because of #deforestation and wildlife trade, but scientists are slowly reintroducing them to rebuild the #ecosystem 🌎

The Department of Homeland Security has unconstitutionally waived dozens of laws to fast-track border wall construction through the #BigBend region of Texas. So we're taking them to court to stop this land-grab. More info: biodiv.us/4muUKmM

The feds are moving forward with plans to wall off the Big Bend region. Some reports say walls are "off the table" in the state park, but DHS hasn't canceled construction contracts or restored the legal protections they stripped. Nobody is crossing here. Look at those cliffs.

Orban copied Trump. Trump copied Orban. And in the end, the people of Hungary chose democracy and the rule of law. As will happen here too. But only if we do our work, like they did.

Paris’ hostile streets have found new life as Mayor Anne Hidalgo bravely transformed it from a city for passing through to a city for passing time. She faced fierce criticism but ultimately found broad support for her ambitious introduction of cycle lanes, pedestrian streets, and public transport. 🧵

Sales of Full Electric Vehicles in New Zealand skyrocket 278% during March 2026, compared to March 2025. Full-electric autos were 16.5% of sales. Plug-in-hybrid (PHEV) were about another 8% plus of sales. ~25% of autos sold in New Zealand during March had a plug. evdb.nz/ev-stats #energysky

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Installing a heat pump can be costly and complicated. Enter Merino Energy’s new single-room system, which it says a contractor can get running in an hour.

Five “missing” bird species were rediscovered in 2025, including one not documented in 94 years. These finds in Southeast Asia and Oceania offer hope for conservation as the Lost Birds List drops to 120 species, down from 163 in 2022. @spoorthyraman.bsky.social reports for #Mongabay.

The ocean has reached a 10% protection milestone, but hitting the global 30% target by 2030 requires protecting an area the size of the Indian Ocean in just four years. Experts warn that progress must accelerate to secure our marine future. @elizabethalberts.bsky.social reports for #Mongabay.

The Trump administration used whale welfare as an excuse to sideline offshore wind. Then it killed whale protections to boost fossil fuel drilling in the Gulf.

Dr. Larry Stevens of Springs Stewardship Institute joins the Rewilding Earth #podcast to discuss how springs are largely unmapped, misunderstood, & managed as mere “hydrologic commodities”—despite being keystone ecosystems that support a massive array of biodiversity and the world’s major rivers.

We teamed up with Texas Civil Rights Project today and sued U.S. Customs and Border Protection for withholding public records on plans to build border walls through the #BigBend region of Texas. More info: biodiv.us/4dzdxv4

A recent EPA reversal approved West Virginia’s haze‑reduction plan even though coal plants didn’t evaluate whether additional pollution controls were needed. We’re suing the agency, arguing that this new policy let WV avoid required pollution cuts and threatens air quality in national parks.

Earthjustice is suing Trump’s EPA over its illegal repeal of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, which limit hazardous air pollution from coal- and oil-fired power plants. By scrapping MATS, EPA is giving a lifeline to some of the dirtiest power plants at the expense of public health.

BREAKING: Huge win for the Endangered Species Act! A federal court struck down President Trump’s attacks against the ESA – a ruling that will derail ongoing efforts by the current Trump admin to further weaken the bedrock environmental law.

Microplastics create macro problems.​ Nurdles are tiny pellets made from fossil fuels and are raw materials for plastic goods. Chemical companies spill 1 billion pounds of these nurdles every year, polluting the communities they operate in and floating out into the ocean.

We’re suing the Trump admin for greenlighting extinction in the Gulf of Mexico. The “God Squad” voted last week to allow oil and gas companies to completely ignore endangered species protections in the Gulf — an exemption that could serve as a death sentence for already imperiled species.

We sued the Fish and Wildlife Service today for failing to finalize protection of the coal darter under the Endangered Species Act. These rare freshwater fish live in Alabama's Mobile River basin are threatened by dams, water pollution, coal mining, logging & climate change. ➡️ biodiv.us/4sj3y0k
