Is this the moment that #aquarists in the U.S. have been waiting for? #USAQUA is set to challenge the #USFWS and the #ESA over the ongoing ban against legally farmed, #CITES -approved #AsianArowana that are legally traded throughout most of the world. www.amazonasmagazine.com/2026/02/20/a...

I am so sorry for #usfws. They used to be a great agency that truly were the US's biologists.

It’s uncertain what this will mean for Colorado wildlife refuges.

Group Calls for Opposition to Administration’s Narrowing of Critical Habitats for Endangered Species Protection - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, December 8, 2025) In response to the Trump administration’s proposed new rules to limit protections for critical habitats under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), Beyond Pesticides is calling for public action to “Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) not to adopt regulations that weaken protection of threatened and endangered species.” According to environmentalists, four new rules will allow an expansion of oil drilling, logging, and mining in critical habitats.

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?! There was obviously NO collaboration with anyone who has ANY knowledge about what "land" & "resource management" is. Oh, that's right. The federal government FIRED all those ("educated") Civil Servants. #NPS #USFS #USGS #BOEM #USFWS #BLM

📢 Colorado’s wolf recovery is under threat.
