Are we the coolest gang of astronomers in the Dinosaur Provincial Park badlands tonight? Yes. Yes, we are. #astronomy #outreach

A group of astronomers with their telescopes are ready for tonight’s outreach event in concert (literally) with a string trio in the normally closed part of the badlands in Dinosaur Provincial Park.

I want wetlands that protect communities from floods instead of being paved over. I want whales in healthy oceans, old-growth trees that outlive us, and night skies where the stars are brighter than the city lights.

Your headline should be corrected! Same article: Disease is readily treatable; Root cause is climate change (humans).Yet you incite panic about it and towards animals who may end up harmed as a result! Instructions are more balanced but BURIED - most won't read that far. @worldanimalprotection.us

What some call "unused land" is often the last safe haven for countless living creatures. Wetlands are not empty spaces waiting to be developed. They are nurseries for birds, natural water filters, flood defenses, and wildlife habitats that cannot be replaced once lost.

South Korea built solar panels over highway medians and turned the space underneath into protected bike lanes. Clean energy + safe cycling, using infrastructure that already exists.

Public lands belong to us all — but especially to the wild species who call these lands home. It's more important than ever to protect these precious places, and Congress can do it. Urge your legislators to protect public lands and oppose any attempts to sell them off: biodiv.us/3PNBGVb

Limiting vessel speeds in key whale habitat to below 10 knots (roughly 11.5 miles per hour) is a tried-and-true way to reduce tragic whale deaths and injuries. Take action: Urge NOAA Fisheries and the U.S. Coast Guard to require vessel speed limits where whales are most likely to be. ⬇️

Why is a 2" gap max on anti-collision markings so important? (Or 4" max for parachords?) Because birds are maneuverable, incredibly fast and "shrink" to fly rapidly through narrow passages like between branches. Only, that space between the hawk stickers isn't space. It's glass. And it kills.

Don't forget too that the bulk of national parks are also sacred sites to the native people from that area. Stolen land should not be a profit machine for big business.
