Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Trump’s budget wipes out $307M for bee and plant tracking—leaving 4,000+ native bee species unmonitored. That’s not just pollinator loss. That’s ecosystem collapse in the making.

Hey, taxpayers! Just so you know, the loss of approx 1,000 employees due to harassment and denigration since January at the USGS alone adds up to about 20,000 *years* of experience and expertise that YOU paid for and that YOU benefited (past tense) from. How’s that for waste?

Thursday tips for U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Employees:

1) as hard as it is, show up today and tomorrow to honor those leaving due to Fork 2.0. Be present.

2) focus on one conservation and/or regular work activity that brings you joy.

3) give yourself and others space not to be at their best.

This is BLM not FWS, but it seems likely to be coming to our way.

Endangered species protections are being glossed over. “These lands serve as habitat for 23 federally endangered species..”

This is not good for anyone. This is not efficient.

Disasters bring Americans together— or used to. With this EO, the lack of organization will lead to deaths.

I think most of us can get behind local decision-making… but local capacity is not realistic.

Pay attention, this is dangerous (and stupid).
