This is a good time to mention that our rainforest site in Madagascar is home to at least one entirely new frog species. Say hello to the adorable Boophis samuelsabini, known only from Ivohiboro! Photo courtesy of Edmund Basham #Conservation #Biology #Nature #Madagascar

We're also looking for partners in getting Marula Oil into the hands of folks in the U.S. If you or someone you know works in sustainability, cosmetics, a related field, or even just runs a retail shop that might want some, please get in touch! #Madagascar #Conservation #Cosmetics #Beauty

What’s the biggest threat to rainforests in Madagascar? 🌴 A lot of people might say deforestation, or poaching, or wildfires, or climate change. Those are certainly all threats, but they’re not the biggest threat. Poverty is. #Conservation #Restoration #Madagascar #Nature

EXHAUSTED of DST discourse pretending like there isn't an absolute consensus among experts about what the right choice is. Permanent standard time is it, full stop.

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal
The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply.

🚨STAY ALERT🚨 All #Washington residents are in danger! We accidentally introduced Ring-tailed Lemurs to the Palouse after returning from a trip to Madagascar. We regret to inform the community the lemurs have tamed local moose with the intent of forming a calvary with which to conquer the area.

the mark of a true nature enjoyer is passionately, arbitrarily disliking species, esp by having low tolerance for annoyance. for ex, if an animal is too loud or behaves in a manner I feel is stupid, it is marked for death (being the focus of anecdotes about disliking animals for the rest of my life)
