Happy World Bee Day! Remember to celebrate the bumblebees in our midst, especially the wild ones. Yes, there are domesticated bumblebees, a lot of them, you can read all about that here! www.biographic.com/plight-of-th... #conservation #agriculture #WorldBeeDay #pollinators 🌍 #bees

#Biographic does some of the finest environmental and biodiversity reporting. After seeing them absorb the award-winning @hakai.org Magazine team a few years back, this news is all the more bitter. As a monthly donor, I hope someone steps up to support this critical #sciencejournalism.

The NYT bureau chief who was caught using a fake AI quote makes about as much money annually as bioGraphic is losing. Funding does not follow quality. What a world we could live in if it did. Support independent, human journalism and publishing.

It is so hard to watch the journalism crisis hit your favorite publications. We need way more nature/biodiversity reporting, not less!

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!

One of my fave quotes from Margaret Atwood: "You may not be able to alter reality, but you can alter your attitude towards it, and this, paradoxically, alters reality. Try it and see.” #environmentaljournalism

My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Patty, of course.

For over a century, the United States has largely set the agenda for global conservation--yet the country’s influence is rapidly contracting. And looking back, writes @judeisabella.bsky.social, it’s clear that US-led efforts have always been permeable to political whims and rife with contradictions

Next up, @biographic.bsky.social executive editor @judeisabella.bsky.social very helpfully answers the question: How did we get here? How and why was the U.S. such a big financier of global conservation in the first place? The Ghosts of Conservation Past www.biographic.com/the-ghosts-o...

A special issue from the team at @biographic.bsky.social! What has happened in the year since the Trump administration's wide ranging cuts to global conservation initiatives? A lot. And when you dig into the history, it's not entirely surprising: www.biographic.com/conservation...

My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Well, since the question did not explicitly mention which US team brought gold, men or women...Feb 19, 2026, when the US women's team beat (sadly for us Canadians, but good game everybody!) the Canadians?

Some countries are phasing out cruise-ship “scrubber” systems that dump toxic wastewater into the ocean. Alaska lawmakers are now considering similar action to reduce this under-regulated source of marine pollution.

I just learned that in Russian, “vosnesenskii” alludes to something like “the resurrected." I could have used that tidbit of info when writing this piece for @biographic.bsky.social last year, where Bombus vosnesenskii is a prominent player! www.biographic.com/plight-of-th...
