Happy #InternationalBeaverDay! Take time to acknowledge all that our #keystonespecies does to conserve & purify water; fight drought, wildfires & climate change; and provide & maintain very biodiverse wetland habitat. #beavers
Every deck has a species that matters more than the rest… 👀
Not the biggest. Not the strongest.
But everything changes without it.
Which one would you protect first? 👇

Love it when I cross paths with these little guys at work. One of my favorite native species. #gophertortoise #tortoise #keystonespecies #parkranger #stateforest #findyourpark #nature
My, what a big tongue you have. All the better for eating that nectar with, I'd say!
Plus, a little sweet treat of mangoes served in baffle cages to really get their tongues working and some brain stimulation in.

frogs fill a unique, indispensable role in both #aquatic and #terrestrialecosystems, hence a #keystonespecies.
-and also greater plant survival and biodiversity.

We got a peek at what @underthepole.bsky.social is doing in #Antarctica
One big immediate threat to Antarctic wildlife is the overfishing of krill!
When a #KeystoneSpecies like krill is at risk, the impact ripples through the entire ecosystem & threatens species that reply on it as a food source
Not all native plants are created equal. 🌿
Research shows 5% of plant genera feed 75% of your local food web. These are your Keystone Species, the high-performance engine your garden needs.
Which 5% matter most in the PNW? New blog:

February = Biodiversity month 🐝
We're done talking water. Now we're talking LIFE.
Time to design the biological engine, the keystone plants that feed your local birds, bees & butterflies. Forget "pretty." Think functional sanctuary.

🦦💙 Sea otters love eating sea urchins and they’re real ocean heroes because of it. Urchins overgraze kelp, but otters keep them in check by cracking them open with rocks 🪨 (and of course, they're really cute too)

Awkward by design.
Essential by function.
Eastern white-bearded wildebeest.
No elegance.
No apologies.
Connochaetes taurinus albojubatus
Keystone species energy.

💜 Did you know sea otters are considered a keystone species? By preying on sea urchins, they help protect kelp forests - some of the most productive ecosystems on Earth. Restoring sea otters to Oregon means restoring balance.

Not all species are created equal – the structure of their interactions determines their impact on the ecosystem. New research reveals microbial communities stay stable even when species are removed.

A big congrats to our partners at the @cincinnatizoo.bsky.social for FINALLY welcoming home two southern #seaotters 🦦!
Our team has been working closely with their staff to educate them about #seaotter biology and their role as a #keystonespecies.
