Breaking: A $10 billion climate resilience proposal is one step closer to reality in California. The move would bolster flood and wildfire protection while increasing access to nature and clean drinking water. caclimatebond.org/press-release-2
Progress: Today, in New Mexico, @WHCEQ Chair @BrendaMallory46 announced over 50 new commitments to the America the Beautiful Freshwater Challenge. The challenge aims to protect, restore, and reconnect 8 million acres of wetlands and 100,000 river miles by 2030.
Fact: The continental U.S. has lost over half its wetlands in the past 150 years and that rate increased by 50% from 2009 to 2019. A new @POTUS challenge urges communities and governments to reconnect, restore, and protect these ecosystems. pew.org/3xTMQy5

More than 500 reported wildlife-vehicle collisions are reported in Nevada each year—costing the state $20 million annually. To help make roads safer for drivers and animals alike, the state can invest in more wildlife crossings. pew.org/3VXDYkN
June is #NationalRiversMonth! These waters provide critical habitat, clean drinking water, climate change resilience, and more. Here are just a few examples of rivers from across the country people are working to restore and protect: pew.org/3V2tX45?utm_ca…
Since 1980, California has had 46 extreme weather events costing at least $1 billion in damage. A coalition is urging for a historic investment of $10 billion to help build climate resilience in the state for those who need it most. pew.org/3WpRo9E
Historically, @BLMNational has prioritized oil and gas development over conservation. But that could soon change. Today, the agency finalized a rule that enables it to put conservation on equal footing across the 245 million acres it oversees. pew.org/3QafAsG
Fact: One million of Earth’s 8 million plant and animal species face extinction. In the U.S.—one of 17 nations worldwide identified as “megadiverse”—a holistic conservation approach is vital for our future. pew.org/4c96wO9
California is home to some of the country’s most diverse public lands, and the state has made significant strides in conserving these beautiful places. This is a helpful look at conservation strategies that can protect the future of these lands and rivers. pewtrusts.org/en/research-an…
Fact: Old-growth forests only make up 18% of forestlands managed by @forestservice and @BLMNational. Our Blake Busse joined @kaleb_roedel to discuss how a new proposal would protect these historic forests from increasing threats. pew.org/3RYolXc
“The more we can reconnect landscapes, or habitat patches, the more resilient and healthy these wildlife populations are generally going to be,” explained our @MattSkroch to @changcon. How new research is helping accomplish that faster than ever. 👇popularmechanics.com/preview/techno…
When we lived in Ithaca and drove a lot to visit my aunt and uncle in Rochester, we'd encounter deer a lot -- and it was always so sad to see their carcasses pile up in the fall/winter months. So it was good to explore tech that can help for Pop Mech: tinyurl.com/bfb2m5sj
Trailblazers: Utah has committed $20M for wildlife crossings–bridges and underpasses for animals. The move not only helps make roads safer but also maintains centuries-old migration corridors in the face of climate change. pew.org/3FYHdQh
Protecting New Mexico’s Pecos River means: 🐟 Preserving wildlife habitat 🚰 Providing clean drinking water 💰 Supporting local businesses Here’s why the state designated this iconic river an Outstanding National Resource Water: pew.org/42vXBQW
As our climate changes, the approach to supporting the health and sustainability of America’s national forests must also shift. Data from my @pewtrusts colleagues and Conservation Science Partners can inform science-based decisions for the @forestservice. pew.org/46AXFCf
Our public lands are facing devastating climate change impacts. It’s our responsibility to use the best tools we have to restore wildlife habitat, plan for smart development and conserve the most important places for the benefit of the generations to come. doi.gov/pressreleases/…
Breaking: the @USDA is restoring full protections to 9 million acres of the Tongass National Forest, the “crown jewel of the U.S. national forest system.” #ProtectTheTongass #Tongass pewtrusts.org/en/research-an…
This is the Bronx River the same year the EPA was founded, a place the city referred to as an "open sewer." This week, three dolphins were found eating fish in the river for the first time in decades. Yeah, environmental protection is actually a great thing.(Camilo Vergara, 1970)
More than 500 reported wildlife-vehicle collisions are reported in Nevada each year—costing the state $20 million annually. Wildlife crossings like this one can help make roads safer for drivers and large animals alike. pew.org/3Hg0uL6
We wanted to know why crime in New York City has become such a big problem. So we talked to three unvaccinated Ted Cruz supporters at a LongHorn Steakhouse in Plano.
