We spoke with the legendary Dr. Jane Goodall (@janegoodallinst) at the Sierra Club’s 2025 Trail Blazers Ball about the current state of environmental justice. 🐒🌱 #DrJaneGoodall #SierraClub #TrailBlazersBall

Last year, Kristi Noem’s DHS reallocated over $600 billion in FEMA funds, putting it towards building new ICE facilities instead. Now, ICE is buying massive warehouses to hold thousands of people, and FEMA has been gutted, leaving states unprepared to respond to weather disasters.

It’s only been 15 years since the U.S. started limiting gases like carbon dioxide, and we’re already about to lose those protections. This week, the Trump admin’s EPA repealed the finding that made climate protections possible, putting pollution protections at risk. This move could have devastating effects on human health and the environment.

Pixar’s new film “Hoppers” is all about collective action to save a local, endangered animal habitat, spearheaded by a college student named Mabel (Piper Curda). The animated film is set to be released on March 6. ✍️ Words by @nardos.haile 🖌️ Design by @___0h00

The EPA will stop considering the cost of lives saved and hospital visits reduced when setting pollution limits. Instead, it will only consider the cost to businesses.  While the EPA administrator has assured they will still factor health benefits into the equation — just not monetarily — this out of sight, out of mind approach is likely to tip the scales in favor of deregulation for polluting industries.

Blue whale vocalizations have dropped by nearly 40%, according to a study published by PLOS. This massive drop is not only a climate change indicator, but it’s also a massive sign of increasing noise pollution, marine heat waves, and food scarcity. When whale songs are detected less often, this typically means that the whales are living through harsher conditions than usual. It’s important that whale populations remain safe and healthy, as they play a huge role in regulating the marine food web and fighting climate change by fertilizing the ocean with nutrient-rich fecal plumes. “When you really break it down, it’s like trying to sing while you’re starving... They were spending all their time just trying to find food,” John Ryan, a biological oceanographer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, told National Geographic. ✍️ Words by @austinashburn4 🖌️ Design by @___0h00 🔗 Source: National Geographic nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/ocean-heat-wave-blob-whale-songs

This weekend, millions of Americans could face power outages, impassable roads, and dangerous subzero temperatures as the result of an incoming winter storm. By Sunday, the unprecedented Arctic blast is set to have stretched 2,000 miles across the U.S. — and it will likely be testing the infrastructure of southern states like never before. Outside of safety concerns, this extreme weather event will also be contributing to a nationwide home insurance crisis.

We know someone that’s thirsty for you — but not in a good way. According to a new study published by Frontiers, mosquitoes are becoming increasingly thirsty for human blood. Because of habitat loss, deforestation, and declining wildlife populations, this developing thirst could get a lot stronger. ✍️ Words by @austinashburn4

It’s the one year anniversary of the LA wildfires. Over three weeks in January 2025, the fires destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. At least 31 people died, and the smoke likely contributed to hundreds more deaths in the following months. So what have we learned? In a year dominated by headlines about climate-driven disasters, government funding for disaster relief has been slashed, while billions continue to be pumped into industries like oil and gas.

In a statement released by the country’s environment ministry on Nov. 13, Colombia plans on denying any large-scale oil or mining projects in its Amazon biome moving forward. This is a massive step in climate progress for the country, as the Colombian Amazon makes up 42% of the nation’s land. Instead of being used for oil, the environment ministry says the Colombian Amazon will be used as a reserve for renewable natural resources. ✍️ Words by @austinashburn4 🖌️ Design by @___0h00 🔗 Sources: Colombia’s Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development minambiente.gov.co/colombia-primer-pais-en-declarar-la-amazonia-como-zona-libre-de-gran-mineria-e-hidrocarburos/ Mongabay news.mongabay.com/short-article/2025/11/colombia-bans-all-new-oil-and-mining-projects-in-its-amazon/

Wildlife conservationist and streamer @maya_higa has been compared to the late great conservationists Jane Goodall and Steve Irwin. But Higa is a part of a generation where the internet has shaped her passions and career. That’s how she blew up on Twitch when she was a zookeeper in college. Since then, her supportive Twitch fanbase has helped her raise thousands to open an animal sanctuary, @alveussanctuary, which she founded and now works and lives on. Higa also just won her first-ever award at @thestreamerawards for creating original content centered on wildlife conservation that is in “a league of their own.” In an interview with Impact, the 27-year-old creator spoke to @nardos.haile about her passion for conservation and educating young people. ✍️ Words by @nardos.haile 🖌️ Design by @crstnpark
