It's getting so a bird can't even get a breath of fresh air!

Fires in Canada are causing smoke and haze in New York City. It's pretty bad when the Parks people tell New Yorkers to stay indoors as much as possible--but what about the birds and other wildlife?

Good humans protecting #TastyFish. Thank you!

“Feeling the urgency, [Keyen] Singer, alongside other Indigenous youth in her community, has dedicated herself to the salmon’s survival. Her efforts honor the legacy of her great-grandmother, Loretta "Chet" Halfmoon. After the construction of The Dalles Dam in 1957, Celilo Falls, one of the world’s most abundant fisheries, flooded, destroying its vital Native trading site. In the aftermath, Halfmoon was one of a few celebrated “woman warriors” who fought for decades (getting arrested and being jailed multiple times) to secure tribal and treaty-based fishing rights on the main stem of the Columbia River.”

My friends along the Ohio River—and your human friends, too—are at risk from dangerous algae blooms

"What’s so harmful about algae you might ask? Isn’t it just some slimy green stuff you find covering ocean rocks or on the sides of a fish tank in need of cleaning? The answer is: yes! That is algae—but it typically becomes harmful when there is an abundance of it in an aquatic ecosystem. A few other factors come into play when determining how algae affects an area, but the amount and type of algae are the biggest ones."
