I've been working on a personal GIS project dedicated to spots across the United States that should be be conserved, and one of those, is the Altamaha River in Georgia. It's formed at the confluence of the Oconee and Ocumulgee Rivers and flows for 137 miles before discharging into the Atlantic.

ZOO EXPANSION UPDATE

The huge NC Zoo in Asheboro will be expanding with a big Asia Continent area this year, likely this summer. They will not commit to a date, despite me calling every day.

🐅 The tiger exhibit will be in two sections with a connecting tiger walkway OVER the visitor walkway. How about a tiger watching you hungrily from above?

🦦 See also: White-cheeked gibbons, Komodo dragons, Chinese alligators, king cobras, Asian small-clawed otters👏, and Chinese giant salamanders.

📰 New California Condors Nest

The YUROK TRIBE in the Pacific Northwest has reintroduced a pair of California Condors, who have established a nest.

🔭 Biologists with the Northern California Condor Restoration Program (NCCRP) determined that the female condor, known by her Yurok name Ney-gem’ Ne-chween-kah (“She carries our prayers”), likely laid an egg inside a hollow in an old-growth redwood tree.

🧑‍💼 This rare event did not come easy. The tribe spent nearly two decades conducting studies, evaluating contaminant risks, and building partnerships before releasing the first cohort of four condors in May 2022.

📰 Big Data Is Protecting Birds

Massive database, compiled by cooperating organizations, allows a rare, critical, wide-ranging multi-species synthesis to inform conservation across flyways.

🐦‍⬛ The information from electronic tags is combined with survey and community science data to create a rich picture of where shorebirds are and where they are going.
