An adult polar bear stands on a wild expanse of ice and snow in setting or rising sunlight.
Far-right congressmen are targeting us because we're a fierce force against multinational corporations seeking to plunder the wild.
They want to shut us down so #PublicLands can be sold for profit and places like the #Arctic turned into oilfields.

Miserable day in Inverness outside the NatureScot HQ but nothing will stop us in the campaign to end the Guga hunt.
Big result! The campaign to end the Guga hunt is alive and kicking as the Govt petition (signed by over 100,000) will stay open for the next sitting of Parliament following today's decision made by the Scottish Petitions Committee.
It’s time for NatureScot to stop licensing the Guga hunt.
Vendors told researchers that most of the painted woolly bats they sold were pulled from the wild. Evidence suggests these mammals have almost disappeared from the country’s Mekong Delta region, partly because of this intensive trade.

The BLM began #logging mature and old-growth forests aggressively under the first Trump administration.
Now, still not satisfied, the second administration has proposed a new plan to more than quadruple the amount of logging to 2.5 million acres of #PublicLand in western #Oregon.
Take action ⬇️
This would mark the first time the #CongressionalReviewAct is used to reverse a management plan for a #NationalMonument — meaning this trick could become a core element in a playbook for going after national monument protections across the United States.
Take a stand for #PublicLand ⬇️
Prosecutors in Zimbabwe used lion DNA forensics for the first time to convict two people for poaching and trafficking a male lion near Hwange National Park.
DNA from seized parts matched a radio-collared lion killed in 2024, setting a precedent for using wildlife forensics in court.
So so close to 100,000 signatures to end the Guga hunt! Please keep signing: petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE...
Image shows a space shuttle blasting off, fire erupting from the bottom and huge white clouds crowing the right corner of the picture. A text box is centered over the rocket and reads: “SpaceX has been acquiring land for its ‘Starbase’ industrial city for more than a decade now, devastating nearby wildlife refuges in the process. It’s deeply disturbing that the hundreds of earth-bound species who rely on these public lands are becoming collateral damage in the corporate space race,” Ashley C. Nunes, public lands policy specialist.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed a land exchange between #SpaceX and the Lower Rio Grande Valley and Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuges.
This exchange will push critically #EndangeredSpecies like ocelots and jaguarundi closer to the edge 🐆🐆

Alleged last-minute political moves blocked Brazil from securing the highest CITES trade protections for Brazilwood.
The music industry welcomed the outcome, while Brazil denies reports that France’s president intervened. The endemic tree has declined 84% and is critically endangered.
