Happy #WorldMountainDay to these ancient, majestic sleeping giants. 🌄 Did you know that mountains are teeming with life? 🌿
Take the Great Smoky Mountains, the most biodiverse park in the United States National Park system. Over 19,000 species have been documented in the park, and scientists believe an additional 80,000-100,000 species may live here!

Did you know that muskoxen gather in a circle with their heads facing out when threatened? Their babies remain in the center of the circle to be protected.

On this month's episode of Conservation Conversations, Sean was joined by the legendary author and scientist Paul Ehrlich, known for his work in biology and population dynamics. In their discussion, Ehrlich reflects on changes in science and conservation over the last half-century, the vital importance of science communication, and society's ability to rapidly change at pivotal moments. Plus, hear how butterflies captured Ehrlich's early interest in biology.
This #ArborDay, we remind you that eleven to sixteen percent of tree species in the U.S. are threatened with extinction. Thank you to @MortonArboretum, @USBotanicGarden, @natureserve, and others for your assessment.

Lisle, Ill. (August 23, 2022)—For the first time, researchers have completed threat assessments for all 881 native tree species in the contiguous United States, resulting in a comprehensive checklist and synthesis that will serve as a critical baseline to guide future tree conservation efforts.
We achieve more together. With #NatureServe tracking species data and the #ESA50 directing resources to save the most at risk, 71 species have been saved from extinction in 50 years.

California is in BLOOM! 🧡 A “super bloom,” to be exact! Winter wasn’t kind to #CA, but nature is resilient. Germination is here! 🌿✨
