…#Trump called for the convening of a committee of high-level officials nicknamed the God Squad because it can override the landmark #EndangeredSpecies Act so that development or other projects can proceed even if they might result in an #extinction.
The cmte has rarely been convened since it was created, in 1978, through an amendment to the endangered species #law to allow for action during emergencies like #hurricanes & #wildfires.
#Trump Moves to Increase #Logging in #NationalForests
Trump wants to circumvent #environmental #regulations to expand #timber production, something sought by homebuilders & the construction industry.
Trump directed federal agencies to examine ways to bypass #EndangeredSpecies protections & other environmental regulations to ramp up timber production across 280M acres of national forests & #PublicLands.

@mojo@aus.socialA privately owned South Australian island is about to become a lifeline for Australia’s most endangered species! Thanks to a joint investment by the Australian and South Australian governments, Flinders Island (off the state’s west coast) will be transformed into a sanctuary for native wildlife.
The $4.8 million project includes a massive pest eradication program to remove feral cats, rats, and mice, creating a safe haven for threatened species like the adorable banded hare-wallaby.

#PrayerHorseRide Prepares for Sacred Journey 2025
"We do not sell our #MotherEarth or profit off of her, Mother Earth is here to take care of us and teach us our natural ways of Life! I pray we all stand to protect our Mother,” - Josh Dini, Sr., Walker River Pauite Tribe, #WaterProtector, #PrayerHorseRider and a member of #AIM Northern Nevada.
By Prayer Horse Ride, via #CensoredNews
SCHURZ, Nevada -- "The Prayer Horse Ride is getting ready to begin our 4th annual sacred journey March 21st – April 2nd, across Nevada in the ancestral lands of the Numu (#Paiute) and Newe (#Shoshone), through Yerington, Fallon, Wadsworth, Nixon, Lovelock to McDermitt, and ending near Orovada, honoring #PeeheeMuhuh (#ThackerPass in the McDermitt Caldera).
"Those Riders, Walkers, and Runners carry the prayerful energy with each community. They'll move forward to raise awareness regarding water usage and #NativeAmericanGraves Protection and
Repatriation Act concerns about #lithium mining in Peehee Mu'huh and within the McDermitt Caldera.
"The Ride also raises awareness of several #EndangeredSpecies in #FishLakeValley (#TecopaBirdsBeak, #TiehmsBuckwheat, and #TuiChub), a place Newe gathered foods and medicines, held sacred ceremonies, and where a proposed lithium boron mine would violate the #AmericanIndianReligiousFreedomAct."

Taxpayers are ‘literally paying’ to cut down forests sustaining koalas and greater gliders and providing clean drinking water
"The state forestry corporation has had losses totalling $72m in its native hardwood forest division since 2020-21.Two reports revealing the extent of financial losses from native forest logging in New South Wales raise questions about the economic viability of the industry."
"...Public native forestry struggled financially, offering “poor returns to taxpayers at best. The government should look at the economic costs and benefits of the native forestry business in NSW and consider whether community welfare is served by continuing this practice.”

"Keep your eyes on the fluttering wings of the butterfly, you cannot look away from the mesmerizing flutter, your eyes are getting heavy, you are getting very sleepy... now repeat after me... i am the king of this forest, that other guy over there showing off is not..."
This project can be stopped. The Species at Risk Act prohibits damaging any part of critical habitat, redds, or individuals of any listed species without a permit, including the 2 trout species affected here. Canada can issue permits to allow it, but not for the purpose of allowing coal mining. While a counterargument to this view exists, it must be tested in court. Ecojustice needs to take this on.

No flash used here but this rare species turned out to be surprisingly cooperative on its gathering grounds so handheld photography worked out just fine... have some flying photos I can develop & post later but this is minimally processed to hurry up & show you my brag

@anna_lillith@mas.toThese wolves deserve to live. Tell the ODFW: Don't destroy the Frazier Mountain Pack.
It's simple: Nobody should be allowed to shoot #EndangeredSpecies.
#Wolves once thrived all across #America, but a century ago, targeted #hunting and #trapping completely eliminated wolves from #Oregon.
Only in 2008 did wolves slowly begin to return to Oregon. Their numbers are increasing, but their #population is still fragile with fewer than 200 wolves in the entire state.
#Backroads on #DididahtTerritory.
This is part of the #SanJuanRiver & forests in the valley. The #watershed area is under ongoing #ecological threats by industrial #clearcut #logging. This is near #CarmannahWalbran #BritishColumbia provincial park.
The forests here are longtime foraging, mating & birthing grounds for the #CowichanValley Roosevelt elk herd. The San Juan is an important salmon bearing river. The old growth forests here are home to several #SpeciesAtRisk & #EndangeredSpecies.
There is ongoing eco activism work to try & protect more of the forests & #waterways in this #wilderness valley on Southern #VancouverIsland.
What a cutie. I don't have a "bucket list" but if I did this would have been on it.
