It's Giving Tuesday! Consider helping the IWRC increase the accessibility of science-based #wildliferehab and #wildliferescue education, research, and standards around the world - particularly in underserved regions. With our match challenge, your gift can make twice the difference for #wildlife!

Wildlife rehabbers fly high when we release animals, but we witness so much suffering too. Massive workloads, financial struggles, and societal inertia can be stressful & demoralizing too. This month's free #wildliferehab seminar is all about staying healthy and resilient for our important work.

Did you know that not all scientific evidence has the same weight? The more the study relies on an expert's opinion, rather than many data points and peer-review, the higher the risk of bias. 🔺https://www.scienceupfirst.com/project/hierarchy-of-evidence/ #ScienceUpFirst

I’m getting a new blanket and I haven’t been so excited for a while. Simple tastes I guess lol

Tomorrow I’m participating in a charity walk for the IWRC. If you’re seeing this please consider giving, even $5. Wildlife is constantly hurt by people. They are hit by cars, run into windows, killed by our pets, kidnapped; some are hurt on purpose. Help mitigate these harms. tinyurl.com/4xvkymw3

What gorgeous photos from #WalkforWildlife participant Elise, walking in beautiful fall Saxon Park in Oklahoma USA! Have you taken your walk yet? If so we want to see it! There's also still time to sign up to walk, or support our walkers and #wildliferehab around the world: tinyurl.com/yyd9v4kf

Happy US National Take a #Hike Day! It’s also the kickoff of IWRC’s Walk for Wildlife! This week, hike anywhere, anytime, and help #wildliferehabilitators who care for injured, orphaned, and displaced wild animals around the world. Register or support our walkers: tinyurl.com/yyd9v4kf

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Do you have an up-to-date Emergency Plan? Every wildlife rehabilitator needs a plan to keep themselves and the animals safe if the unexpected happens. Disaster planning doesn't have to be overwhelming; IWRC has a free workbook to guide you: theiwrc.org/project/disa... #wildliferehab #wildliferescue

Considering how much people like the ideas Mamdani puts forward, like affordable rent and transit, do you think constantly calling him a commie and socialist might convince more people to give communism and socialism a chance?

An idea:

Hahaha, I love this photo of a snake nerd researcher from the Phoenix Herpetological Society using a fake leg to step on rattlesnakes & see how likely they are to bite. He "stepped" on 175 of them, and was bitten by only SIX. Snakes desperately want to just get away! 🐍🧪 www.npr.org/2024/05/17/1...

No situation leaves me feeling quite so awkward, lost, and anxious as trying to figure out how I’m supposed to act around two friends who obviously want to be more than friends but aren’t together yet. Idk if this is how others experience it or my extreme aro-aceness, but I could use a manual.

The first black bear cub of the year has arrived in care! 🐻📣 This young female was found orphaned just outside of Whitecourt, AB. She's been very feisty and shows no signs of habituation. You can sponsor her care here: aiwc.shop/collections/... #alberta #wildliferescue #charity #wildliferehab

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

Did you ask for a bird fact? No, but you're getting one whether you like it or not. 🪶

Hopelessness feels really selfish and self-indulgent to me. Don’t get me wrong I feel it too sometimes but there’s a lot of work to do and a lot of people who need those of us who can to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and get to work.
