Even MAGA Republicans Hate Plans to Put a Border Wall in Big Bend Virtually no one, it seems, thinks a physical barrier in the region is a good idea. The Trump administration is rushing to build one anyway.

DHS is rapidly pushing to wall off Big Bend National Park.

Big Bend's former NPS superintendent says:

“This is the biggest incursion on the integrity of national parks since the construction of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite more than a century ago.”

Conservation programs must embrace causal evidence when evaluating impact (commentary) In 2006, Paul Ferraro and Subhrendu Pattanayak issued an urgent warning: conservation lacked the causal evidence needed to know what actually works. This mattered because decades of conservation…

[COMMENTARY]

Conservationists must move beyond assumptions and test whether their actions truly work, a new op-ed argues, adding: “What’s needed now is making causal evaluation standard practice rather than the exception."

Or if the conditions aren't right (your capacity, co-author engagement, topic not relevant anymore, etc) you can move on

Resistance (poem) (on working within vs outside of the “system”) to effect change

I've been writing about a poem a week (or so) over the last six months, which has helped me to process the inevitable, existential feelings coming up during these very difficult times in the US.

Oil ‘does not guarantee stability’: Colombia’s environment minister on energy transition The energy landscape is a shifting terrain, full of twists and turns, according to statistics in the latest report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). While some countries are backtracking on…

Colombia has a goal to progressively move away from oil and gas while strengthening local renewable energy and storage capacity.

Lena Yanina Estrada, the new environment minister and first Indigenous person to hold the position, argues that it’s a model that helps bring long-term stability.

Thrilled to share our new paper led by @colincarlson.bsky.social which asks an exciting question - what could a global scientific assessment body for pandemics look like?

We take lessons from existing groups like the IPCC and @ipbes.net, laying out considerations, challenges, and ways forward. 🌍🧪

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives.

This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle.

The EPA didn't release its annual U.S. greenhouse gas emissions report, but we got the data. Here's what we found The Environmental Defense Fund published the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks after filing a Freedom of Information Act request last month.

For the first time in nearly 30 years, the EPA under Trump failed to release the U.S.’s annual greenhouse gas emissions report.

So a nonprofit did it instead.

Facts don’t disappear just because the government refuses to print them.

NOAA and the NWS are *lifesaving* public services.

Without tornado, flash flood, blizzard, and hurricane warnings, millions of people will be exposed to deadly weather without warning--weather that will continue to increase in severity due to climate change.

Hi hello good morning.

This is fascism. Nazi Germany did this to support their messaging of a superior Aryan race.
