In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “One of the great but incomplete moral revolutions of our lifetime has been the expansion of our compassion to encompass farm animals in a limited way, even as corporate agriculture pushes in the other direction,” our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes.

It's time to take environmentalism back to its roots: "Call it an “environmentalism of places,” in which people take care of ecosystems near them for the good of plants, animals, water, and human psychological well-being." A must-read for environmental advocates www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

And rigging the electoral system to try to prevent anyone from stopping them.

The president is stealing tax dollars from the public treasury to pay off his criminal cronies.

*quietly, to neither disturb the birds nor obscure their calls* Dudes rock

"Fewer turbines, spaced further apart, and equipped with modern bird-detection technology such as IdentiFlight, should reduce bird mortality in the Altamont Pass going forward."

Hi all — in 30 minutes I'll be on a webinar with @wildearthguardians.bsky.social staff discussing the impacts of roads, the value of roadless places, and the Trump Administration's effort to undo the Roadless Rule. Tune in! #roadecology www.facebook.com/WildEarthGua...

A trail cam check on Monday revealed 3 clips of a beautiful male jaguar in a Sky Island south of Tucson, in the ancestral lands of the Tohono O'odham. Jaguars’ northern range is being ripped apart by border wall, mining, groundwater depletion and climate-driven drought. @biologicaldiversity.org

Last week the bioGraphic team learned that, owing to an ongoing financial deficit, the California Academy of Sciences—where we’ve made our home for the past decade—will no longer be able to provide us with financial support, including support we were expecting this year.

Last week the @biographic.bsky.social team learned that, owing to an ongoing deficit, the California Academy of Sciences will no longer provide us with financial support. We're reaching out to foundations that support environmental journalism. We've got plans, we just need some help!

If you 'care about climate', as Ramez specifically states, you should care *about greenhouse gas emissions* - the substance that when dumped into the atmosphere CAUSES CLIMATE CHANGE. In Texas: they have been RISING for HALF A DECADE because all those new renewables are going to demand growth:

Of all the weird talking points that exist in the centre-right abundance / permitting reform movement, this is the one that just absolutely burrows into my brain the most, because it is just so intensely, profoundly and shockingly energy illiterate.

Have just been on site, with @birdlifeeurope.bsky.social Partners from across Europe, in Albania's Vjosa delta-Narta lagoon "protected" area. It is being devastated as we speak by the construction of an airport and a massive luxury tourism complex promoted by Jared Kushner.

The Supreme Court majority either intended to see this happen, or didn't care if did, and both are monstrous.

The left and environmentalists have been reckoning with these problems for decades. But that fact wouldn’t fit the narrative.

“Abundance has been more factionally controversial in the Democratic Party than I would have expected...” Gimme a break. The entire purpose of this project is to marginalize core constituencies like environmentalists and labor in order to roll back policy protections on behalf of developers.

The next reconstruction: - Expand the House to 700 Seats - Use MMP to create a multi-party system with PR - Use RCV for US Senate elections - End the filibuster + add DC - Limit the power of the Supreme Court - Expand the court to 13 Justices - Term limits and ethics rules for the court

Good news for nature!! 🎉 Yesterday, EU Member States experts voted on the restriction proposal on lead in fishing tackle. Thankfully, they supported it.

Love seeing climate actions with multiple benefits! In addition to generating clean energy and reducing emissions, solar canals conserve water by reducing evaporation, can potentially reduce growth of costly aquatic weeds, and help redirect solar development from farmland and valuable habitat.

It’s alive! Welcome to the age of solar canals. 💧☀️🔌💡

Whoa shit that’s one coolass dolphin!

Breaking: Trump has fired the membership of the National Science Board, which is oversees NSF. I have confirmed separately with multiple now-former members of NSB.

One of the underappreciated downsides of living in the West is not seeing Henslow's Sparrows

Imagine not wanting to see this.

I might be biased but the Puget Sound prairie is the perfect ecosystem and shows how humans can, and once did, thrive in harmony with all of life.

Amazing news!

Republicans have pulled their dangerous, egregious bill gutting the Endangered Species Act (ESA) from the House Floor 🎉 Happy Earth Day! 🌎

This is very, very troubling

Now That's What I Call Abundance!

Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.

Turns out the bill to gut the Endangered Species Act will be up for a vote on Earth Day.

The thing about birding is that it makes life so much better. Townsend's Warbler, Washington State. 4.16.26.

They should've pivoted to birds.

Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation. For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.

"Democrats need to break from this path and acknowledge that billionaires—especially those in the increasingly antidemocratic tech sector—are never going to side with them over the GOP." From @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2087...

The U.S. House is expected to a vote next week on a bill that would gut the Endangered Species Act. Ask your U.S. Representative to vote no!

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Alright Gulf Coast, South Carolina, southern Oklahoma and Arkansas, it's go time for y'all now! Start of the approximately 3 week long peak migration period BirdCast is predicting we'll have 133 million birds above the continental US tonight and they're especially headed your way Lights out!

Why did the bittern cross the road

How could you not be emotional about the resilience of birds

Welcome home, Pippin! 🤍🟢 Our beloved Pippin has returned. Many will remember he departed last summer with something tangled around his foot. We feared the worst. Pippin has returned to us with his right foot missing and a limp but otherwise appears well. 📸:Liam Francis Shanley

“Frankly, they want people to think this is a done deal,” says Jim Adams, senior regional director of the Alaska office of the National Parks Conservation Association. But the movement opposing the proposed Ambler mining road is alive and well. Read my latest update for @sierramagazine.bsky.social

Feels absolutely insane that this just keeps happening

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The "abundance" argument is being used here to try to gut the Endangered Species Act, arguing that environmentalists are trying to force "scarcity"... ...over a species that has lost 90% of its population because of unrestricted development.

🐦‍⬛❤️ Tue, Apr 7 Sometimes, when in search of foraging gray whales, one happens upon 3 dozen foraging Oyster Catchers. In this beautiful complex place there is always someone or something to marvel at. Yesterday there was a plethora of whales; let’s 👀 who’s here today. 🎥 By Alisa LB 3/29. #psws
