Iβve reported on some alt technologies to reduce whale strikesβsuch as AI systems to alert ship captains in real timeβand one founder created it because reducing ship speeds wasnβt enough to save right whales. βWe cannot afford to ever miss an animal,β he told me. www.biographic.com/ping-youve-g...
FIRST: I talked to some really lovely seabird researchers in the UK about what it was like to see HPAI sweep through Northern Gannet colonies there and what the recovery has been like (for both the birds and the people who love them). www.biographic.com/after-the-ou...
BREAKING: Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Britain is sending a warship to Cyprus after an Iran-made drone hit the UK's RAF Akrotiri base.
Thankfully that's my personal email; my work email is much more under control
Thanks @scifri.bsky.social for having me on to talk about federal research budgets. TLDL: Congress voted to reject the president's big science cuts, but the White House is slow to release those approved funds. π§ͺ

βI give the EPA employees here a lot of credit,β says Nicole Cantello, the president of AFGE Local 704 in Chicago. βThey want to survive this. They want to live to β¦ rebuild this agency.β

For over a century, the United States has largely set the agenda for global conservation--yet the countryβs influence is rapidly contracting. And looking back, writes @judeisabella.bsky.social, itβs clear that US-led efforts have always been permeable to political whims and rife with contradictions
"Sarah Sullivant, another former EPA staffer, also lost her job after signing the letter. βIt felt so disproportionate to be terminated for exercising free speech,β she says."

Until last year, the US government was one of the world's biggest funders of #biodiversity protection. For @biographic.bsky.social, I wrote about what's been lost since Trump slashed USAID and other agencies, and how people & organizations are moving forward now.

Researchers are proposing nothing less than a new law of nature.
βWeβre talking about an end to a whole era of conservation.β
One year after the Trump administration changed how conservation around the world is funded and practiced, global leaders and local people are charting a new courseβand planning for a future without U.S. support.

For a century, the United States dominated & influenced conservation around the world--for better and for worse. That era is over.
@biographic.bsky.social has a special issue on the next era of conservation--what it looks like, who's funding it, & what it means for people, species, & ecosystems π±
Today, @biographic.bsky.social published its first special issue:
Conservation Enters a New Era
One year after the Trump administration slashed biodiversity protections at home and abroad, people and organizations are figuring out where to go from here.

For some reason Gmail has been throwing a bunch of pitches to my spam folder. I just saved a few from the past couple weeks, but I don't know how long it's been doing that.

I hope you find this special edition helpful in making sense of the moment we're in--that it gives a clear-eyed look at where we are now, how we got here, and where we might be going next.
Lastly, @madelinevo.bsky.social takes us inside the Environmental Protection Agency, where current and former employees are fighting for their First Amendment right to report research and findings truthfully.

Next up, @biographic.bsky.social executive editor @judeisabella.bsky.social very helpfully answers the question: How did we get here? How and why was the U.S. such a big financier of global conservation in the first place?
