This afternoon, an Endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle named “Pancake” successfully made its return to the Atlantic Ocean just outside WCS’s nyaquarium. Pancake is estimated to be between two and five years old, and was found suffering from cold stunning on Nov. 22, 2025, at Duck Harbor Beach in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. After being rescued by the …

President Trump has funneled at least $67 million dollars in entrance fees from the National Park Service to bankroll his pet projects, such as the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which costs $16 million and counting. Our national parks are already severely underfunded—like Zion National Park, which is in desperate need of sewage repairs—but they now …

Donald Trump and his administration just admitted that they punished states that voted against him and slashed billions of dollars in federal investments. The Trump administration cancelled 280+ projects and ignored job losses, air pollution, and increasing bills. Instead, the adminsitration is wasting your dollars on dirty backroom deals to line the pockets of fossil fuel …

Check out that vertical. Our camera trap recently caught this jaguar’s near miss at the site of an artificial watering hole in the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala. So many species are utilizing these. You may recall, as droughts intensify, the water has been placed to provide critical relief. Amazing wildlife videos are a lucky byproduct. #jaguar #bigcats #guatemala #cameratrap #wildlifevideo

America's public lands have a secret ally: the Land and Water Conservation Fund. It helps protect national parks, hiking trails, forests, historic sites, beaches and local parks across the country. Right now, some lawmakers are trying to block, divert or even eliminate LWCF funding. But there's good news: people speaking up recently stopped an effort to undermine …

We tested over 100 products, from raincoats to tablecloths, that had supposedly phased out the use of toxic “forever chemicals” in New York and California—and the results are promising. Click the link in our bio to read the full report.

You beat our goal — not once, but twice. ⚽️ We set out to fund 21 water projects this World Cup, and you got us there. Then atlascopcogroup stepped in with a second match — 15 more projects, doubled — and you beat our goal again. Final score: 74 projects funded, and clean water closer to home …

For millennia, humans have lived alongside wildlife. As our planet becomes increasingly crowded and wildlife habitats become degraded, it is important that we find ways for humans to coexist with wildlife. What it means to share space with wildlife differs drastically from place to place and from species to species. “Human-wildlife coexistence” is a dynamic state …

Grocery stores’ massive refrigerators and freezers use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), a type of “super pollutant” that contributes to global warming thousands of times more than carbon dioxide. Back in his first term, President Trump signed a law to reduce the use of these dangerous chemicals, but now he’s reversing course and trying to delay the reduction. …

Along the Eight Channel Islands that lie off the coast of The Nature Conservancy in California, lives the little spotted skunk. They’re about quarter the size of a striped skunk and they’re rarely seen, even by researchers. When they feel threatened, this little acrobatic skunk stomps its feet and does a mini handstand. (Superrrr threatening, …

BREAKING 🚨 Our planet burns while they bank BILLIONS. This week, as Trump’s War continues to rage in Iran, Big Oil once again announced monster profits - all while the world suffers from record-breaking heatwaves, unprecedented wildfires and extreme weather. The worst part? Their products literally help fuel the climate crisis that we all experience! How many lives …

Since the 1700s, the Molina family has cultivated a deep connection to the land at El Hatico, their family farm in Colombia. But in the early 1990s, they made a bold decision that would completely transform their nine-generation legacy. That decision? To move the family’s cattle ranch from an extensive livestock model to an intensive silvopastoral …

From record heat to dangerous air pollution, every community is feeling the climate crisis this summer. But the Trump administration is doubling down on climate denial and giving polluters free rein to keep pumping out the fossil fuel pollution driving the crisis.

A recent Supreme Court decision gutting key Voting Rights Act protections makes it harder for communities of color to elect leaders, deepening environmental injustices and leaving more children breathing dirtier air and drinking polluted water. on.nrdc.org/4flzrSQ

Too many communities living near oil + gas development unnecessarily breathe dirty, methane-polluted air. Strong industry standards that limit routine flaring and #CutMethane emissions are a make or break for public health across the country.

Oil & gas companies intentionally burn off gas that pollutes our air with methane and dangerous VOCs – resulting in $7.4 billion in health damages. Our health and wallets can’t afford for companies to skip over key methane reduction technologies to #CutMethane waste.

Research shows that once drivers try an electric vehicle, they stick with them. That’s why these new incentives in California through the "MyFirstEV" program focus on those who’ve never owned one. ✍️@jeffsaintjohn @CanaryMediaInc canarymedia.com/articles/elect…
