Bats are vital to ecosystems, aiding in pollination, seed dispersal, and insect control. However, many bat species are threatened by human activities such as disease, habitat destruction, and light pollution, pushing them toward extinction.

Over a dozen bat species, including the Florida bonneted bat and Indiana bat, are federally listed as endangered or threatened. Additionally, bats are being exploited internationally for the wildlife trade. We are committed to stopping this trade and protecting bats from potential rollbacks of the Endangered Species Act.

This Halloween, the real fright is the potential loss of bats. Join us in defending the Endangered Species Act and the wildlife that relies on it: https://biodiv.us/4yRhEcH 🦇

Offshore drilling, a cornerstone of the global oil and gas industry, poses significant risks. This dangerous business threatens fragile ecosystems, marine wildlife, and coastlines with catastrophic oil spills.

Oceana Marine Scientist Maeve Arthur's video examines five of the worst U.S. offshore oil spills, detailing their environmental, economic, and human health consequences. She emphasizes that such disasters will persist as long as we rely on toxic fossil fuels.

To prevent future spills, oppose the U.S. government’s proposed expansion of offshore drilling: https://oceana.ly/ProtectOurCoasts. Stay informed by subscribing to Oceana: https://oceana.ly/subscribe.

Over 100 UK business and finance leaders, including CEOs from Amazon, Coca-Cola, and IKEA, have urged Prime Minister Liz Truss to strengthen the economy by prioritizing climate and nature crises.

Over 100 UK business and finance leaders, including CEOs from Amazon, Coca-Cola, and IKEA, have urged Prime Minister Liz Truss to strengthen the economy by prioritizing climate and nature crises. Amid inflation and recession warnings, they advocate for building economic resilience through net-zero delivery and nature restoration.

A letter from 116 institutions emphasizes urgent government plans to accelerate the energy transition. This could significantly reduce household energy bills, improve energy security, and shield the UK from volatile fossil fuel prices. Restoring nature is also crucial for resilience and economic support.

Join host Jeff Corwin as he connects with some of the most threatened aquatic animals, including Florida's gentle manatees, the endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, and coral reefs. He highlights critical threats to manatees, such as habitat loss, cold snaps, and harmful algae blooms, which have led to record mortalities. Conservationists are racing to save these iconic creatures.

Efforts include restoring warm water habitats, advocating for dam removal to open vital waterways like the Ocklawaha River, and coordinating rescue and rehabilitation partnerships, exemplified by SeaWorld's work with rescued manatees like Avana. Protecting these watery worlds is essential for the planet's health.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an adventure across central Florida, exploring the Silver and Ocklawaha Rivers, vital habitats for manatees. These gentle giants face severe threats, including habitat loss, dangerous cold snaps, and harmful algae blooms destroying their food sources. Tragically, manatee deaths are at an all-time high, impacting Florida's environmental integrity.

Conservationists, including Defenders of Wildlife, are racing to save this iconic species. A key solution involves restoring natural warm water habitats and removing man-made barriers like the Kirkpatrick Dam. A free-flowing Ocklawaha River would grant manatees access to essential warm springs, ensuring their survival and promoting coexistence with Florida's natural environment.

Dr. Katie Kamelamela, born and raised on Oahu, is passionate about relationships with Hawaii's forests. She helps communities, agencies, and non-profits develop strategies for long-term, practice-based goals through partnerships. Her vision, from her University of Hawaii Botany degree, is "Hawaii practices on Hawaii landscapes," linking local climate action to our connection with the land.

With diverse island climates, Dr. Kamelamela integrates community needs with policy to support understanding and management of forest-gathered resources. This empowers cultivators, managers, and consumers, recognizing the cultural and economic value of these practices.
