When Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Science Meet, Good Things Happen Tribal leaders and climate coordinators are working together to protect lands and waterways

Thanks to the strides made during the Biden administration, traditional ecological knowledge is finally being represented alongside Western science. On Montana's CSKT Bison Range, that knowledge is being used to maintain healthy forests, waterways, and wildlife populations. 🌎

Amid Cuts to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Species Like the Florida Panther Languish - Inside Climate News Florida conservation groups say they plan to sue after the federal government greenlit another development that threatens the habitat of the panther, the official state animal.

Even before the past year’s cuts, the FWS was short-staffed, said Noah Greenwald, #EndangeredSpecies co-director at the Center of Biological Diversity, which conducted its own analysis on the reductions based on data obtained through a #FreedomOfInformationAct request.

Let things flower a little longer to support pollinators and beneficials.

There was a fellow on my floor in residence, a very smart philosophy major, who used to do the same.

Indigenous and local knowledge can shape transformative change.🌏🧪

Many Indigenous Peoples and local communities have views and practices aligned with a just & sustainable world. Their ethics of care and values inspire equitable & inclusive change.

Another example of the power of environmental DNA (eDNA): a positive eDNA detection led to the rediscovery of a freshwater mussel not found live in Illinois for over a century. New student-led, open access paper in Ecology with @markdavis79.bsky.social at doi.org/10.1002/ecy....
