Happy Earth Day. 🌎 Spent the past few days with WWF National council members in Santa Fe, NM.

The meeting kicked off by honoring New Mexico’s Senator Tim Heinrich for his lifelong commitment to conservation.

We learned how reintroducing beavers to the Rio Grande Basin is helping improve the entire river ecosystem. Beaver dams retain water in this drying watershed.

WWF Mexico is aiding critically endangered Jaguars, in Northern Mexico and the Southwest US. They are slowly moving north and if all continues to go well, the jaguars will establish a breeding population after decades of near extinction in this location.

With WWF’s focus on planetary health, we always have time outdoors enjoying what we all love best, nature.

This year we gathered eDNA from a tributary of the rio grande. eDNA analysis allows scientists to document all species in the area. Google it…very cool.

Ended our meeting with a half day hike in Bandolier National Monument.

Keeping with the Southwest culture, we enjoyed a completely native meal by two local James beard award winning chefs.

Foundation director Cheryl Olseth joined fellow WWF National Council members for annual conservation update.

Many successes, including global efforts to 1.) restore and preserve mangrove forests, 2.) celebrated the ten year anniversary of Sumatra’s 30 Hills project, the only area on the planet where elephants, tigers and orangutans live together and 3.) the launch of Nature Needs Us Now, a multi year multi faceted campaign to build awareness of the importance of nature to our very existence.
Did you know, 50% of the oxygen we breathe comes from the oceans??

Thanks to the WWF staff for organizing another fantastic meeting and most importantly their dedication to ensuring a healthy, thriving planet for all of us. 🌎
