@biologicaldiversity.orgThe global fishing industry kills at least 1 trillion fish every year, even though it produces only about 1% of the world’s food. About half the fish it catches become feed for industrial animal operations, including aquatic ones 🔗⬇️
@biologicaldiversity.orgDespite being banned in more than 60 countries around the world, we still use so much #atrazine in the U.S. that over a quarter of our rivers and streams are contaminated with a carcinogen.
We owe it to our kids and to ourselves to ban atrazine across the country once and for all.
@thenewlede.bsky.socialReposted by @biologicaldiversity.orgAccording to a recent @biologicaldiversity.org petition filed with government regulators, the US should tighten policies that allow high pesticide residue levels in our food. Here's what a strawberry (and a piece of bread) have to say.
@biologicaldiversity.orgSlightly NSFW @thedailyshow.com coverage of jaguars and the #BorderWall in the San Rafael Valley of Arizona.
The whole six-minute segment is worth watching, but @peccarynotpig.bsky.social (Russ McSpadden, our Southwest Conservation Advocate) chimes in right at the beginning 🐆⬇️
@biologicaldiversity.orgThese proposed deals could help set a dangerous precedent for letting private commercial interests dictate the future of protected #PublicLands.

@biologicaldiversity.orgThis seashore is one of the largest barrier islands in the US, home to nesting beaches for endangered sea turtles and shorebirds.
The Park Service announced the Cumberland Island land exchanges less than two weeks after proposing a similar land swap that would give private access to #Yosemite.
@biologicaldiversity.orgThe #NationalPark Service is considering two land exchanges within #CumberlandIsland National Seashore that would allow the development of eight mansions on the island.
This island is one of the last wild places on the East Coast, and the Park Service has a legislative duty to protect it!

@biologicaldiversity.orgTogether, these speakers will discuss how authors can craft inclusive work that holds history, ecology, and lived experience simultaneously. Books will be available for sale and signing, and after the conversation, the audience is invited to boogie down to a closing performance by SambaFunk!
@biologicaldiversity.orgJoin us for a conversation with Umi Vaughan, Tiffany Yap, and Robert Liu-Trujillo, three writers and artists whose work sits at the intersection of culture, nature, and resistance. Their work positions human creativity as an expansive response to attacks on land, memory, and cultural ecosystems.
@biologicaldiversity.orgThank you for adding your voice and for helping us spread the word!
@thenewlede.bsky.socialReposted by @biologicaldiversity.orgA worthless plan: “We found that there were only about 120 watersheds out of over 11,000 that would actually see a reduction in atrazine below … the level EPA has identified would harm aquatic ecosystems,” Nathan Donley of @biologicaldiversity.org said.

@biologicaldiversity.orgTrump is tanking sensible mile per gallon standards at the worst possible time for consumers, who are getting hit with sky-high prices at the pump.
Consumers will pay the price for these reckless rollbacks while Trump’s Big Oil and Big Auto buddies reap the short-term profits. #GasPrices
@biologicaldiversity.org“I think that there's growing concern as we look across our #PublicLands from one coast to the other, that there's these other tools that are taking a piecemeal approach to the selloff agenda,” said Hayden Wyatt, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity. #Colorado
@biologicaldiversity.orgWe only have a short window to stop this so contact your senators right now and urge them to reject this bill and protect the Endangered Species Act. Once you've done so, please share this post so more people can be aware.
@biologicaldiversity.orgAmong other concerns, it would surrender one of the Act's most important safeguards — the requirement for federal oversight of wildlife decisions — to hostile state agencies. Protected species shouldn't have to pay just so fossil fuel executives and special interests can line their pockets.
@biologicaldiversity.orgThe “permitting reform” package is being called the "Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026," but it's really a massive giveaway to the fossil fuel industry. This backroom deal will gut the #EndangeredSpeciesAct and the its gold-standard “best available science” mandate.
@biologicaldiversity.orgMore than 1,700 species are protected under the #ESA — with many more awaiting protections.
The Act has saved 99% of species under its care, yet Congress is once again trying to weaken this lifesaving law — this time under the guise of helping renewable energy.
