We’re very good at building systems that look impressive at launch. Less good at building ones that endure stress, turnover, and political weather. New essay in @therevelator.org explores what ocean conservation reveals about durability and institutional memory. #Reflection #OceanHoptimism

Critically endangered Asian giant tortoises are getting a boost from villagers local to where they live. It's a hopeful example of a community banding together to help save a species. Learn more about it at @therevelator.org ⬇️

Chameleons are living proof that evolution can sculpt life with astonishing precision. But that precision comes with fragility. Many species survive only in narrow climate bands and tiny habitats, making them early warning signals for a planet overheating and unraveling.

Dr. Green’s advice for bridging generations on climate/environment? Listen first. Validate fear without dismissing it. Share stories, not lectures. Make space for grief, hope, and action at the same table. The planet needs less talking past each other—and more talking with each other.

Chameleon conservation is criminally under-covered. Thanks to @johnrplatt.bsky.social for trying to change that! 🧪 therevelator.org/chameleons-c...

We need to talk about #chameleons. When I started researching this article, I found there had been almost no coverage of chameleon conservation issues over the past few years. It's time to change that: therevelator.org/chameleons-c...
