@MattWalshBlog not true, fool

Only men should be firefighters. We all know this. It’s a job that men are uniquely qualified to perform. There are few women on the face of the Earth who can carry a full grown man to safety. LA set out to deliberately reduce the number of male firefighters. A suicidal policy.

This is the cutest, spikiest, tiniest crab in the world! (Don't quote us on that—it's called hyperbole.) It was found during an operation in the Gulf of Mexico, which collected samples of mesophotic and deep-sea coral species for lab rearing and propagation. Credit: @sanctuaries

Species like this are being destroyed to enable profits for industrial solar projects on desert habitats. It won’t solve climate change, but it will destroy large swaths of the Desert Southwest. Put solar on rooftops, parking lots, roads, and already disturbed land, not on this.

Conservation works, & nowhere is that clearer than in NE Brazil, where the population of Endangered Gray-breasted Parakeets has grown 44% in 2 years.🐣 What's behind their comeback? Steady efforts by @OngAquasis with support from ABC to protect habitat & stop the wild bird trade.

(1/2) Madagascar’s ‘magic’ plants are under threat! 🌱🇲🇬✨ New research shows the country's plants, vital for cancer drugs & health products, face unsustainable harvesting due to global demand. Local harvesters earn $2/day while pharmaceutical giants profit millions.
