Things (gesturing broadly) are capital B Bad right now, but my first trip to Colorado is going well so far 🎣🌄 #Flyfishing #Colorado #Nature #Photography

Their greed for perches sickens me 💔 Eastern Kingbirds disagreeing on Yucca stalk ownership in South Dakota #Wildlife #Nature #Photography

There's a solemness to winter that often gives way to peace, or at least quiet. I'm feeling a bit mocked by today's bright, warm weather. This old photo is resonating with me more. #Photography #Washington #PNW #Nature

Sunset over the Stuarts 🌄 I'm not exactly looking forward to winter's long nights and short days, but the light that is available at dawn and dusk certainly helps me feel a little better. #Washington #PNW #Mountains #Nature #Photography

EEEEP! Digging through old photos, again, and found this fairly concerned pika from Tahoma/Mt. Rainier #Wildlife #Washington #PNW #Nature #Photography

As I wrap up a grant report on a lemur conservation project, I'm thinking today about Simone the Greater Bamboo Lemur, the last of her critically endangered species in Ranomafana National Park, and the experience of ecotourism. #Conservation #Wildlife #Nature #Photography

I have a sneaking suspicion I was being watched... #Wildlife #Nature #Photography #Birding

Bluesky is the only social media I have left, so you guys are getting this one instead of Instagram. I'm getting MARRIED!

🔥🛑 Firebreak maintenance just finished in Madagascar! 🇲🇬 Firebreaks protect Ivohiboro forest from wildfires. The bare soil prevents fires from reaching forest, but the maintenance jobs have also led to a dramatic decrease in fires being set. #Conservation #Restoration #Madagascar #Nature #Wildfire

Currently riding the minor high of writing a sentence and then finding a source that EXACTLY matches what I said

Hitting alpine tundra at the right time of year feels like heaven. Thanks, Wyoming. #Wildflower #Nature #Photography #Mountain #Wyoming

The Beartooth Mountains are total showstoppers. Look at this! #Mountains #Nature #Photography #Montana #Wyoming

Palouse sunrises never fail to disappoint. I'm so fortunate to have opportunities like this. View from Steptoe Butte, with endangered native prairie overlooking rolling agricultural fields. #Palouse #Nature #Photography #Washington #PNW #Landscape

Has a fatter trout ever existed? #Flyfishing #Fishing #Trout #Nature

i hit my ball into your backyard can you get it for me

Best kept secret in all of the PNW? The Wallowa Mountains! Great weekend camping and exploring in the northeastern Oregon. #Nature #PNW #Mountains #Oregon #Camping #Hiking

Discussions of democratic erosion in US rely heavily on comparisons to other countries like Hungary but—from the mass killing of Native Americans to Jim Crow to Japanese Incarceration—we don’t have to look abroad. Our long tradition of racial authoritarianism begins at home.

May I present to you: Rainbow Trout Pesto Spaghetti The spaghetti was the only pasta we had enough of lol #Flyfishing #Cooking #Pasta #Nature

Grateful as always for the resources Mother Nature provides. 🎣 These wild Rainbow Trout will be put to good use in at least two meals. Both were hard fighters! Thank you, Grand Ronde. #Flyfishing #Nature #Washington #PNW #Trout

Summer really doesn't get much better than this 🌲🫐 (we also got a free slice of pie on the way to this hike) Idaho panhandle has much to offer! #Hiking #Idaho #Foraging #Huckleberries #Nature

Taking compelling photos that are nevertheless unsettling, disconcerting, or otherwise uncomfortable to view is a key element of conservation storytelling. Here, a hillside charred from a recent wildfire - smoke still clinging to the air - in Madagascar. #Photography #Nature #Wildfire #Madagascar

Seems noteworthy to me that they're admitting that they're sending in the military because of the state government's ideology!!!

"the man" doesn't keep you down anymore. now they have a machine that does that for them

I didn't pay attention to the news today, which was nice #Fishing #FlyFishing #Birding

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

This year, more than any year since our founding, LGBTQ+ freedoms are facing unprecedented threats. We affirm our unwavering support for the community & all marginalized groups. The Phoenix Conservancy will always be a home for LGBTQ+ folks (& lemurs). Happy Pride, ya'll! 🏳️‍🌈 #Pride #PrideMonth

Chubby lemur? Chubby lemur. From the only known population of Ring-tailed Lemurs living in rainforest - Ivohiboro. #Wildlife #Animal #Nature #Photography #Lemur #Madagascar

Some context for my comment above about higher ed as a valuable export: In dollar terms, last year, the United States sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal combined. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Academia's silent epidemic: Our new study finds 44% of researchers have experienced the "Gollum Effect", the territorial gatekeeping over topics, ideas & resources. It obstructs research, derails careers, and disproportionately impacts early-career & marginalized researchers doi.org/10.1016/j.on...

Taking advantage of the setting sun in southeastern Madagascar. We were driving east, but everyone in the car was looking west with this view behind us. Our driver, Ranary, read the room/vehicle and stopped for us to take it all in. #Photography #Sunset #Madagascar #Nature #Outdoors

I usually find structures like this offensive in my photos, since they're completely foreign objects in the surrounding landscape. Here, though, a cell tower provided an aura I couldn't capture with the sunset alone. Dusk in the Great Plains is quiet. #Nature #Sunset #Photography #Clouds

Wildflower season continues with show stopping performances from fields of Small Camas (Camassia quamash) around the Palouse! #Wildflowers #PNW #Plants #Nature #Photography #Washington

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Words fail me, but spring in the Palouse never does. 🔴Harsh Paintbrush (Castilleja hispida) 🟡Arrowleaf Balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata) ⚪️Serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia) #Nature #PalousePrairie #Photography #Wildflowers #PNW

Hi @katmabu.bsky.social! Your engagement with issues new to you is so encouraging that I thought I'd bring something up I don't see talked about much: the Biodiversity Crisis. This is often conflated with the Climate Crisis, but Biodiversity loss is a separate (but related) issue.

Went tidepooling for the first time and was shocked to find out tidepools do indeed /look like that/

🐔🏃‍♀️Chasing Greater Prairie-Chickens was an unbelievable experience. Our efforts to increase native seed availability in the Great Plains benefit this species and countless others! #Wildlife #Animals #Nature #Photography #GreatPlains #Prairie #MidWest #Birds #Birding #SouthDakota #Conservation

For EONS, every spring, Greater Prairie-Chickens have performed their incredible mating displays in leks across the northern Great Plains. I've just been lucky enough to witness this in-person. #Photography #Wildlife #Nature #Birds

I appear in this and everyone should watch it youtu.be/-ef6QIuYDgw?...

🎉 We've been counting down the days for months , but #Spring is officially HERE in the #Palouse! 🌿 Warm mornings 🌞 and lots of wildflowers 🌻 lie ahead for us in eastern #Washington, many of which will be spent restoring this endangered ecosystem. #Nature #PalousePrairie #Conservation #Photography

An unknown plant growing in the empty shell of an unknown land snail shell in Ivohiboro, Madagascar

Happy #EarthDay! 🌍 Today, as on all days, we're celebrating our planet, along with its incredible biodiversity, awe-inspiring ecosystems, and the life it breathes into our communities. We simply couldn't ask for a better place to call home.

Grateful for the opportunity to work with an incredible cohort of conservationists for the launch of Phase II of the IUCN SOS Lemurs initiative. Can't wait to push lemur and biodiversity conservation forward in Madagascar over the next 3 years! #IUCNSOS #SOSLemurs

At a global scale, our basic conveniences and "treats" are luxuries with grotesque price tags that can feed entire families for days elsewhere. Americans have no concept of how wealthy they actually are.
