It feels harder to get people to care when the nation is currently under a White House that is trying to weaken or gut the Endangered Species Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and firing thousands of federal staff involved with conservation.

The Trump Administration is looking to change that. It proposed changing the federal Endangered Species Act, so that destroying an animal's natural habitat would not count as committing "harm" to the species The effect would be the same, changing the endangered species to extinct.

I keep thinking about how the Endangered Species Act came to be under a Republican administration, and conservation used to be really important to conservatives not just for hunting/fishing/outdoor recreation but because they valued our incredibly rich ecology on its own merit.

Did you know that the scientific name for the killer whale, Orcinus, is derived from the Latin word orcus, “of the netherworld”? We use science and law to defend a critically endangered population on the West Coast known as the Southern Resident orcas. #TeamOrca Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/4qlEF4n

Three orcas swim through calm, dark water with a backdrop of snowy mountains. Title: "Species Spotlight: Southern Resident Orca".

Five orcas swim close together in calm, dark water. Caption: "The charismatic killer whale, or orca, is an intelligent, social predator known to form lasting social bonds and lives in highly organized pods where everyone cares for the young, sick or injured."

Four orcas seen from above, the fins on their backs breaking the surface of the water. Caption: "But like all endangered species, those pods must learn how to navigate the complicated, dangerous terrain of the 21st century."

A single orca, swimming through calm water alone. Caption: "As few as 74 Southern Residents remain on Earth. They’re in a dangerous decline because of a lack of food, pollution, and noise and disturbance from boats."

Signs of EAB: Woodpecker Activity. Native woodpeckers are the primary predators of emerald ash borer (EAB) in North America and are the most important source of EAB biological control. Patches of light-colored bark on upper portions of ash trees are likely locations where woodpeckers have recently peeled away bark to remove EAB larvae. "Blonding" is often the first evidence that EAB is present in a local area.
