Cute!

Great piece! Communication seems to be a major issue in so many conservation challenges.

Amazing news!

The way primates parent their young shows how strict labels like parenting styles miss the mark For effective child-rearing outcomes, parenting should not be seen as fixed styles — authoritative or permissive — but as a flexible, adaptive process shaped by environment.

As a new dad to a six-week-old, I found this especially compelling.

Evidence from primate research reinforces that parenting isn’t about fixed categories, but flexible responses to context and environment 🐒🦍👶

Washington Gray Wolf Conservation and Management 2025 Annual Report

Despite a small dip in 2024, WDFW confirmed last week that Washington's gray wolf population estimate hit a record high 270 individuals in 49 packs (23 confirmed breeding). Feels optimistic for the return of wolves to historical habitat in the rest of the Cascades and eventually the Olympics. 🦊🌎🧪

🚨 URGENT: Tell Congress to Reject Westerman’s Attack on the Endangered Species Act 🚨 This is an urgent moment to speak up for wildlife. Representative Bruce Westerman’s bill, the ESA Amendments Act (H.R. 1897), would gut the strongest law we have for preventing extinction and prote...

New maps reveal dramatic decline of an Arctic caribou migration range - WWF.CA The Bathurst caribou population has declined from 400,000 in the 1980s to less than 4,000 in 2025, and their migratory range has also contracted as a result.

New story by @wwfcanada.org highlighting our maps of the Bathurst caribou migration and the conservation opportunities in this quickly developing landscape: wwf.ca/stories/new-maps-reveal-striking-decline-of-an-arctic-caribou-migration-range/

I study the effects of roads on caribou movement for my postdoc—and new maps highlighting road expansion in the range of the Bathurst caribou herd are deeply concerning. 🛑

Caribou depend on vast, uninterrupted landscapes for their awe-inspiring migrations.

So proud ☺️ My niece has just achieved her Masters of Science in Biology! Her thesis was on an action plan to help endangered species in Canada. She’s going to help save the planet!🌏

At a moment of rapid global change and growing human impact, rolling back protections for endangered species is a dangerous step backward. 🦬🐻🐺

#WildlifeConservation #EndangeredSpecies

New research finds few improvements for British Columbia’s endangered wildlife Data shows that almost all of B.C.’s endangered wildlife are not recovering quickly enough, if at all.

Listing species is a start—but what comes next? The BC provincial government needs to move beyond lists and enact laws that meaningfully prevent harm to endangered wildlife and the habitats they depend on. 🐟🐦‍⬛🌿

Deploying camera-traps to monitor wildlife on the calving grounds of the Bluenose-East caribou herd near Kugluktuk, Nunavut!

Pre-drilling holes in the permafrost to facilitate popunding of custom angle irons that will support camera-traps to monitor wildlife.

No trees, no problem.
To run camera traps in the tundra, we pre-drill 12" holes into permafrost and pound in custom angle irons.
Fieldwork looks different up here ❄️

Amazing indigenous-led monitoring by the Kugluktuk Angoniatit Association!

Rat eradication sparks record-breaking seabird breeding in Hawai’i A multi-agency effort to remove invasive rodents has let native species thrive in Hawai’i, including seabirds and entire forest ecosystems

One of Aotearoa New Zealand's greatest gifts to the world has been pioneering rodent eradication technology on islands.

The brodifacoum used for this project was manufactured in Whanganui.

Conservation can be an export industry! Fund it!

The Fight Against the Ambler Road in Alaska Is Far From Over Despite a wave of recent victories for project proponents, numerous obstacles remain

The State of Alaska wants to build a 211-mile road across one of the largest remaining roadless wildlands on Earth. The Ambler Access Project would enable a series of mines for copper and other metals. President Donald Trump and other road proponents are acting like it’s a sure thing. But is it? 🌎

Restoring connectivity doesn’t always have to be at landscape level…

Cattle grids are death traps for smaller species, preventing movement for many species beyond the livestock they are designed to exclude
