Rogue Detection Teams

New publication and a cover photo to boot 🐕 doi.org/10.1002/oik.11… 🙏🏾 to the amazing research team, & especially our #ConservationDogs like Filson, for all their hard work in @YosemiteNPS. With @Oikos_Journal @YoseConservancy

Our work in wildlife can often feel small in the scale of the galaxy, but our 𝘗𝘢𝘸-𝘥𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘴 remind us every day that even the smallest rebels can help restore balance to the forest. 🐾⭐🌲 #Rogue #Rebel #Alliance

🐻 And while we may call them our 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘸𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘢𝘴, the truth is they’re less sidekick and more Jedi Master. Our dogs are our guides, partners, and the ones truly leading this (wildlife detection) mission. #MayTheFourthBeWithYou 🐾

🌲Our squadron of marten dogs, Rogues Ranger, Echo, Whisper, & Siska, have been deep in the Forest Moon of Endor this spring, sniffing for one of the rarest forest predators in the galaxy: the coastal marten. Small, scrappy, & surprisingly fierce, think Ewok, but w sharper teeth.

💤Snooze time in the field on our intense coastal marten surveys. This study area is steep & rugged, requiring all our physical (& mental) fortitude. Sure, our #ConservationDogs are go, go, go but it’s important we stop & rest so they can keep on sniffing for wildlife.

@highcountrynews We love the underdogs.

These underdogs of the animal world have superhero-like powers. Why don’t we appreciate them more? buff.ly/6xMDM0N

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🐕 Tune in to a LIVE chat with @OPB @OPBTOL featuring @roguedetection cofounders as they talk about our furry pack of rescue dogs turned Conservation Canines, & all the hard work they do for wildlife & the environment. opb.org/show/thinkoutl…

So how do we detect larva from endangered 🦋 ? Carefully, gently (& w research permits)! This work isn’t a hobby. There’s real consequences for wildlife, and our Conservation K9 Teams are dispatched to detect data in the wild that informs priority conservation needs. 🌻🐾

🦋 +🦊, & #ConservationDogs, oh my! We’re at the WA-BC @wildlifesociety + @AmFisheriesSoc Seas to Summits joint conference, sharing about endangered Taylor’s Checkerspot butterfly larvae & Sierra Nevada red fox research w our detection 🐕. -With @ucdavisvetmed & @olympicforest

@DWesthawk This is a while mood. 😼

The US has damaged a millennia-old Indigenous archaeological site with explosives to build the Mexican border wall. The work is taking place on Cuchumá Hill in Baja California, which was divided in the 19th century when the border was established. english.elpais.com/usa/2026-04-07…

The National Park Service is proposing a new rule that allows for cruel and grossly unethical hunting practices on America’s National Preserves in Alaska, including on over eight million acres of Wilderness. Tap for full details and talking points >>> wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/ak-hunting-tra…

A gray whale that amazed Washington state residents after it swam 20 miles up a small river has died, and an official with a marine mammal research group suspects hunger may have driven the whale to new hunting grounds as the species' population declines. abcnews.link/oNXG9MG

In the Trump administration’s reorganization of the struggling agency, painful echoes of BLM’s past moves. buff.ly/qNXgWad

@HonkIfUrHoary 💔

The US really is incredible because who else would think to ask “how can we possibly make the prison industrial complex even MORE harmful?” and then make a plan to include seabirds in the list of lives they ruin through mass incarceration.
