An airstrip was already built to bring in luxury jets. The development will impact sea turtles and #gianttortoises on Assomption, but most critically, it will threaten ecological integrity of #Aldabra, likely the most pristine island left on 🌍 with no ability to enforce biosafety precautions. 3/4

Sneaky peeky 👀 The episode is really uplifting, and we had a ton of fun making it! And what can we say about that rainforest party?! #sofetch

Thank you, Lacey and #Hallmark+, for your generous support! 🫶

While on #expedition in Colombia last year, @calliebroaddus.bsky.social and Pearson came across two #bats entangled in drying fishing nets. Because the owner of the nets didn't know how to extract them safely, they were baking in the hot sun. Thanks to P's skills, they now flap free! #goodnews

We started in 2019 around one project: creating the world's first youth-funded nature reserve. We accomplished that in Ecuador with our partners @rainforesttrust.bsky.social and EcoMinga, and have since set off to create a network of youth-led and youth-supported projects around the world:

Hey there! We're Reserva, a bunch of kids and young people from 30+ countries working to create protected areas in biodiversity hotspots. We mostly meet virtually to plan fundraisers for our projects, but we've gotten to know each other at school talks, social meetups, conferences, and expeditions!
