We’ve been pushing it on our show, but you can donate to the Red Cross by texting CAWILDFIRES to 90999. They are on the ground helping in the LA area.

The LA Food Bank is in need of donations too. World Central Kitchen is there too.

If you are able, please help. Stay strong LA!

If you’re looking for a way to help those affected by the fires, please consider contributing to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles. They already have plans in place to help those who lost their homes. Do it for POTUS Carter.

A quick reminder for today

If the heat bothers you, plant a tree.
If the water bothers you, plant a tree.
If you like fruits, plant a tree.
If you love your family, plant a tree.
If you want hear a bird, plant a tree.
And if you like life, plant many trees. 💚🌱☘️🌿🌳🌲🍀💚

How many of the people selling oranges in parking lots are being trafficked?
In NM, Indigenous people make up almost 1/4 of human trafficking victims. This crisis demands action.

If you or a loved one are in crisis, please call the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888. You can also call the NM Human Trafficking Unit: 505-717-3500.

🌴 Tropical Forests: Biodiversity vs Logging 🌴

A large-scale study in Borneo shows how forest conversion to oil palm plantations severely reduces biodiversity, while selective logging primarily alters forest structure.

Tropical forest clearance impacts biodiversity and function, whereas logging changes structure
The impacts of degradation and deforestation on tropical forests are poorly understood, particularly at landscape scales. We present an extensive ecosystem analysis of the impacts of logging and conve...

The wildlife suffers most.
Heavy hearted thoughts from a fire ecologist. Ecosystems around the world evolved under repeatable cycles of low to moderate burning. Due to climate change and land use, we are destroying the benefits of fire, to our own peril. 1/

Forest edges are home to many endangered plants and animals. Their herbs, bushes and small trees form an existentially important, structurally rich habitat. Forest edges can also be a stepping stone for the dispersal of species and contribute to biotope networking.💚🌳🌲🍀💚

We really need ice lazers to stop fires.
Pink fire retardant is widely used to tame wildfires each year because it can slow flames in ways that water can’t. But it also comes with a toxic burden, because they contain heavy metals and other chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment.
