"To protect our future, we need to attempt to predict the future." In a new study published this month in @FrontEcolEvol, @SarahPSaunders and @mhmeek identified locations in N America likely to sustain biodiversity. #ClimateAction #biodiversity audubon.org/news/using-sci…

Join us tomorrow to encourage our leaders to take #ClimateAction : * Implement a state climate action plan * Transition to regenerative agriculture * Harness our renewable energy potential * Prioritize public transit * Protect our water resources facebook.com/events/1159250…

The NE Leg passed funding for a state Climate Plan last year. We also thank @senatorblood for her leadership. Blood introduced a bill earlier this year requiring NE to use all available IRA funds – more than $91 million is set aside for NE projects. 2/2 nebraskaexaminer.com/2023/03/14/sta…

Thank you to @jim_pillen + the NDEE for ensuring that NE’s climate plan will get the investment it deserves! NE was among the first states to apply for the $3M grant to develop a state climate plan from the IRA’s $5B #ClimatePollutionReductionGrant. 1/2

“We need something that’s comprehensive and uses the climate change lens to think about Nebraska’s future and what’s going to be good for wildlife, what’s going to be good for people,” - @StonerKristal thereader.com/2023/03/13/the…

Today we celebrate Intl Women’s Day with @SenatorFischer of Nebraska. We thank her for support of the Growing Climate Solutions Act - which connects private landowners with @USDA for support with voluntary conservation and carbon capture efforts.

"Roughly 27,000 sandhill cranes have already arrived along the river between the towns of Chapman and Overton, according to the latest figures from the nonprofit @CraneTrustNVC, which conducts a weekly count of the cranes." #Cranes #GreatMigration smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/san…

Today, we launch Elevate Nebraska, the most ambitious fundraising endeavor in our history. This is a call to action to protect birds, and in so doing, to protect our way of life and the landscapes we love across our state. #conservation #birds greatplains.audubon.org/support-our-wo…

What do birds, beers, water security, and sports have in common? Superb Owls, of course. #SuperBowl audubon.org/news/audubon-s…

“Minnesota’s commitment to reaching carbon-free electricity is good news for the state’s climate-threatened species—and for Minnesotans who now have access to a more sustainable future,” #RenewableEnergy audubon.org/news/minnesota…

Recent research shows that artificial lights at night may have shifted Purple Martins' internal clocks, compelling the insect-eating birds to depart on their migration more than a week early—which could lead to starvation at their breeding grounds. audubon.org/news/artificia…

It’s painful to imagine telling my grandkids someday, “When birds filled the skies. Loons cried out from the waters. You should have been there.” Let’s make sure that we’ll never say those words. - Marshall Johnson thegreatnorthernfestival.com/tgn-blog/what-…

Many years ago while on a tour of the Platte River in Nebraska, a good friend of mine asked me if I knew what the saddest five words in the English language are? He said they were: “You should have been there.”

The Bird Migration Explorer from @audubonsociety and partners is now available on mobile—you can explore species migration maps right on your phone! Check it out: explorer.audubon.org

As global temperatures rise, we must protect and conserve climate refugia - natural areas that are best suited to help species withstand climate change and protect biodiversity. A new study shows how these areas may change under varying degrees of warming. audubon.org/news/study-ide…

#AudubonHatched is a fun new feature in the Audubon Bird Guide app that visualizes your 2022 birdwatching journey. Find your logged bird sightings, your top 3 most sighted birds, where you birded, and more! Get more info from @audubonsociety: bit.ly/3VPc3RC

"Here is what we know: Because of human activity, life on Earth is undergoing an extinction crisis approximately 1,000 times faster than natural rates...We are tearing holes in the fabric of life on Earth that supports our own human lives." @wildlifechamp cnn.com/2022/12/09/opi…

Starting in 2018, @AudubonSociety's data-driven Migratory Bird Initiative worked with dozens of research partners to share observations and track migrations throughout the western hemisphere. Learn how they did it with @ESRI's deep dive on the process: esri.com/about/newsroom…
