The "One Big Beautiful Bill" did not include the provision that spared the La Lomita chapel, the Santa Ana refuge, or any other sensitive location, and a map posted by CBP indicates that Trump’s barrier will tear through them.
Republican bills that would allow the endangered Mexican gray #wolf to be killed and no longer be considered an endangered species won approval in the Arizona House of Representatives.
Becoming engrossed in the lives and stories of individual birds and other wild creatures is exactly what we should do. buff.ly/9vV6kT2
One side effect of such research: Learning the stories of individual birds encourages us to empathize with their struggles and triumphs as unique sentient beings. From a #rewilding standpoint, this is arguably its most radical implication.
Some of the most important insights gleaned from satellite and radio transmitters have revealed critical stopover sites that migratory birds use to refuel during their journeys and where to focus efforts to reduce obstructions in #airspace.
#Birds equipped with wearable tracking devices can help humans make better informed #conservation decisions.
If seven Red Wolves can survive to become 28 wolves in such a short time, we too can continue forward in helping recovery efforts of the most endangered wolf in the world.

While 28 Red Wolves may seem like an insignificant number, we must remember that the wild population was merely seven individuals only six years ago. In 2020, wildlife crossings in Red Wolf country seemed like a pipedream, yet that challenge has been met by the unwavering support of many.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that about half of the Red #Wolf puppies born last year have survived their first year in the wild! The current number of GPS-collared, wild Red #Wolves is 26 individuals, and there is a total wild population of around 28 individuals.
To mark this year’s 40th anniversary of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) moratorium on commercial whaling, EIA and a coalition of conservation and animal welfare organisations have joined forces to launch a global petition to end commercial #whaling.
But the Department of Homeland Security issued waivers for more than 40 environmental laws in order to build the wall. I wanted to hike this final stretch of trail before the southern terminus at Monument 102 was closed behind the border wall forever."(3)
But as of January 2026, construction resumed along the border in the Huachuca Mountains, one of the most rugged stretches of the 2,000 mile long border. The wall will wreak havoc on vital wildlife corridors, destabilize water tables, and heavily affect the border communities.(2)
"The Arizona Trail is one of the most iconic long trails in the country, as it runs 800 miles from The US-Mexico border up to Utah. For any thru-hiker, hiking the Grand Canyon State is an incredible achievement.(1)
Special pods at Chester Zoo helped conservationists breed and release more than 100,000 greater Bermuda #snails.
After months of talk about “smart” #border barriers along the Rio Grande, traditional steel walls are nearing construction in the Big Bend.
The 1% for Wildlife bill would increase the state’s current hotel and lodging taxes by 1.25 percent, creating a new revenue stream for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to support long-neglected habitat conservation programs. If passed, it could be a model for other states.
Part memoir and part helpful suggestions based on Sean’s experience on how to do big things, Wild on Purpose will leave you more hopeful about #rewilding, especially amid what is happening in environmental politics in the Trump era. buff.ly/Kw05OiD
The work of conserving nature has never been easy, but possibilities abound. The current storm must be weathered. Confidence that the work can be done must be sustained. American Prairie is an inspiring story that is an antidote to pessimism & discouragement in these times of government retrenchment
Wild on Purpose is the story of people, especially the author Sean Gerrity, who dared to think big and take risks. Sean’s message is timely. Big things are still possible in #conservation, but time is short to act before rewilding becomes ever more difficult.
He offers practical advice for young #conservationists on deciding where they fit in the vast landscape of rewilding possibilities, fundraising, dealing with opposition, and how to curate your information diet to stay motivated for the long haul. buff.ly/qcI5G5Z
He shares how an “interim CEO” role turned into an 18-year journey, the importance of thinking big, & why money follows great vision, no matter how much it takes. Sean explains his “possibilist” philosophy: Finding possibilities others miss & hunting for solutions globally.
Sean Gerrity, founder and visionary behind #AmericanPrairie, joins the Rewilding Earth podcast to discuss building the largest wildlife reserve and one of the most ambitious restoration projects in the Lower 48.
Despite the critically endangered vaquita #porpoise still teetering on the brink of extinction, the Government of Mexico is considering a proposal to reduce its protected habitat by more than 85 per cent.
BEY03F’s future is full of possibilities. Though there are no known #wolves in the San Gabriel Mountains or the Tehachapi Mountains, there could be a male inhabiting them. If there is — and she meets and mates with him — she could form a pack. Or she might wander back north.
The large-scale #rewilding efforts across Chile & Argentina stand out as compelling case studies of what’s possible when bold vision, private capital, and ecological urgency collide. For anyone in business today, it challenges us to rethink what meaningful contribution looks like.
A staffing exodus at Olympic National Park has put #salmon recovery efforts in jeopardy.
The public must speak out loudly & often to stop elected officials from turning back the clock on #wolf recovery. Delisting could result in the killing of #wolves wherever they have managed to regain a foothold after centuries of persecution, while decreasing the chance of recovery in the Northeast.
Around the world, #trail designers are quietly employing surprising techniques to engineer awe. You’ve probably felt it without even knowing why. Inside the creative science that’s transforming your time outside.
They found a way to #rewild the land without knowing the science or the terminology, and without outside funding. They came to understand the spirit of the land through walking, listening, watching, learning, and caring for it deeply. buff.ly/g8ScHbN
Nearly 40 years ago, Bettina & Georg Peterseil found their way to a #bog in the middle of County Mayo, #Ireland. They discovered a place to heal both the soul and the land. They restored the flow of the water into a nearby Loch, cared for the soil, & planted more than 3,000 native plants and trees.
