Last year, I wrote about how Donald Trump'ssecond term agenda would be devastating for endangered species of ocean animals. Today, his Interior Secretary is convening the so-called God Squad to discuss how to remove protections from Rice's Whales. therevelator.org/donald-trump...

This description of intergovernmental processes and predicaments offers a lot of practical and timely lessons for @gbif.org 🙏🏼

The rarely convened “God Squad” today squashed Endangered Species Act restrictions in the Gulf of Mexico — a move that could push one of the world’s rarest whale species into extinction. Public Domain reports: https://www.publicdomain.media/p/endangered-species-burgum-hegseth-god-squad-gulf-whale

Giving a Voice to the Unheard: Opportunities for Including #Indigenous Knowledges in the #IPCC -- a great commentary today on @therevelator.org! therevelator.org/indigenous-k...

A wildlife researcher who encountered trauma in the field writes: "A colleague suggested I might have PTSD... Will these feelings go away on their own?" https://therevelator.org/dr-green-eco-trauma-ecogrief/

A new interview with Revelator editor John Platt: https://voyagewashington.com/interview/exploring-life-business-with-john-platt-of-the-revelator/

A field researcher returns to find their study site destroyed—illegal roads, poaching, invasive spillover—and the species gone. Months later: nightmares, fear of PTSD, and silence about it. A stark reminder that eco-grief and eco-trauma aren’t abstract—they’re lived, and often carried alone.

Dr. Green: A Wildlife Researcher Asks About Trauma and Grief • @therevelator.org therevelator.org/dr-green-eco...

Our first "Dr. Green" column really resonated with readers. Today we start to answer their questions: https://therevelator.org/dr-green-eco-trauma-ecogrief/

Should fossil fuel giants be held responsible for climate-related disasters that destroy communities? A survivor says: "I would certainly think that anyone who contributed to the disaster should be liable for it, and that that burden should not be only on families.” therevelator.org/climate-chan...

"It is critically important to say over and over again: environmental crime is *real* crime." https://therevelator.org/green-crime/

"As a science communicator, I know there are some things that facts alone can’t convey. To make the connection to plastic pollution personal, I’ve turned to art: creating collage to connect us to the microplastic within." https://therevelator.org/art-microplastic/

Is "Blue Carbon" a climate miracle or a threat to local rights? 🌊 A new commentary in @therevelator.org explores why carbon sequestration in the #Sundarbans must prioritize people, not just profits. Read more: therevelator.org/blue-carbon-... #BlueCarbon #ClimateJustice #Mangroves #HumanRights

First sip of spring 🌷 For @therevelator.org

The kind of true crime we’d actually binge: not another high-society poisoning case wrapped in wealth and whispers, but the people looting ecosystems, trafficking wildlife, and treating the planet like a crime scene. Green Crime is dark, timely, and way too real. Netflix, take note. 🌍🔍

Our first "Dr. Green" column, addressing the psychological needs of people protecting the environment, really resonated with readers. Look for our second column next week -- and keep submitting your questions! https://therevelator.org/dr-green-emotional-rescue/

Over the next few weeks you may see headlines about the Rice's whale. It's a population of ~50 in the Gulf of Mexico that you have likely never heard of before. My latest #openaccess #research with @emilyyeager9.bsky.social explains why that is and what you can do about it 🧵 🔗 bit.ly/RicesWhaleNews

Okay, here’s today’s assignment: celebrate the joy of nudibranchs. First: read this thoroughly wonderful piece on artist Arina Bovenich and her felted nudibranchs. Tiny wool sea slugs. Maximum delight. If this doesn’t spark joy, nothing will. #Nudibranchs #OceanHoptimism
