I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE LA ZOO @LAZoo, ST. LOUIS ZOO @STLZoo, AND GEORGIA AQUARIUM @GeorgiaAquarium ALL HAVE BLACK DIRECTORS AND I AM BURSTING WITH JOY! Learning this has reinforced my sense of belonging, my hope for equity in conservation, and my excitement about the work!!!!

Check out this short video to see how satellite tags are applied to endangered hawksbill and green sea turtles. @ConservationOrg hopes the tracking data will help us protect the areas most important to the turtles. youtube.com/watch?v=GQDXGd…

Three conservation stories you may have missed: With so many big issues in the news recently, environmental stories can slip under the radar. #RacialJustice #Deforestation #MassExtinction conservation.org/blog/racial-in…

Good news we have now set up 4 Wildlife Sound Recording units for The Australian Acoustic Observatory A20 at Matuwa. Supporting Australian wide research. #biodiversity #awesome #matuwa #birding #ScienceTeam #threatenspecies #birdlife #research 🦜🦅👀

Today 5 female juvenile #kakapo have been transferred from Anchor Island to Te Kakahu/Chalky Island in #Fiordland. This is another step towards making Te Kakahu a breeding island, after the first two females were transferred last month. #conservation #parrots

I'm currently a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley studying how wildlife communities respond to recent CA wildfires. But I'm also passionate about bringing representation to our field and justice to our communities! #BlackLivesMatter

Joining #BlackBirdersWeek as we celebrate and recognize representation in #STEM! I'm relatively new to birding, but have held a long love for wildlife and science <3 I've been blessed to have the chance to travel the world and literally live my dreams! #BlackInNature

I'm a 1st-gen PhD candidate in conservation biology-- when I was a kid growing up in #Queens I considered myself to be a "scrappy naturalist" - always chasing after cockroaches, rats, cicadas, & raccoons in the city. Proud to be #BlackInSTEM #BlackInNature now studying #hyenas

I guess I should re-introduce myself with all these new followers! My name is Amani. I recently graduated from Rutgers University with a B.S. in Marine Science. You can now find me @Field_School! I am very interested in shark research and conservation.😁

#BlackAFinSTEM Hi, I'm Andreia and I'm a biologist and a nature lover! As part of #BlackBirdersWeek with #BlackAFinSTEM today I represent #blackinNature with some photographs of my fieldwork on the study and conservation of Cabo Verde seabirds!

@1blackbirder may I post a summary and link to your moving Birding While Black piece on our FB page? It'll be in the section #ConservationTales which is about the reality of working in conservation. facebook.com/theconservatio… is volunteer-run & hoping to amplify diverse voices

Hey @BlackAFinSTEM, #BlackAFinSTEM, #BlackBirdersweek, #BlackinSTEM. If you have a story about experiencing racism & discrimination while working/volunteering in conservation that you want to tell, please get in touch. This platform is modest, but I'd like to use it for good.

This interview with @ScienceMagazine ended up being much deeper, much more transparent than I anticipated. Thank you, @k_langin, for providing a platform for me to share my heart. #BlackBirdersWeek @BlackAFinSTEM sciencemag.org/careers/2020/0…

Unequivocally, without exception, #BlackLivesMatter #BlackInNature #BlackInSTEM #BlackBirdersWeek We are looking for new contributors, particularly diverse voices. Please read our full statement on racism in conservation below: facebook.com/theconservatio…

Is lockdown actually good for conservation? Unfortunately, there's been a huge spike in poaching; due to fewer people around to deter poachers, & millions without employment needing a food source. A complex issue! bbc.com/future/article…

We are looking for new contributors and editors, so get in touch if you are interested in conservation, journalism, and/or science communication! 🦥🦍🦩🐻‍❄️🌸🦎🦇🦒🦤 #SciComm #SciTwitter #Conservation #WritingCommunity #AcademicTwitter #CVBoost #Lockdown
