President Trump’s cuts to the federal workforce are putting endangered species at even greater risk. The US Fish & Wildlife Service is losing key staff, and with them, decades of conservation knowledge.

Mass species loss could be the cost of slashing federal conservation efforts. Learn more:

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.
