Lake Malawi #cichlids are the textbook example of adaptive radiation in evolution. From a single fish, hundreds of species have #evolved into spectacular colors and specific niches as they munch algae in Malawi’s clear, warm waters.

Nyika National Park, situated on a plateau 5,000 feet above sea level, is Malawi’s oldest, biggest, and wildest National Park. We hiked across #Nyika for three days and saw endemic wildlife and mile after mile of stunning rolling grassland.

#Malawi should be on more people’s safari radar.

Heartbreaking scenes from the #GrandCanyon filled with smoke from the #DragonBravo wildfires. A testament to the science and support needed to maintain resilient natural systems.

A walk on the #OlympicNationalPark coast.

Tide pooling on the Olympic Coast is good for the soul. We saw beautiful anemones, crabs, and mussels, butdisturbing few sea stars.

Grateful to get out in our public lands and coasts 🦀🌊🦪

Taking a moment to reflect on the beauty of our public lands. The science, labor, and activism that goes to keeping these wild places wild and healthy cannot be taken for granted. #zion #nationalparks #americathebeautiful

Taking a moment to appreciate the work and labor that goes into protecting our shared National Parks and the people who recreate in and enjoy them.
