Rolling back protections would open hundreds of thousands of square miles to extractive commercial entities, putting vital ecosystems—and Indigenous communities’ connection to them—at greater risk. 🌊🐢

Protecting these waters means protecting coral reefs, wildlife, traditional subsistence practices, and a relationship with the ocean that stretches back thousands of years. 🚨

Happy National Wildlife Refuge Week! (Oct. 10-17) 😁

National wildlife refuges across America are havens of safety and retreat for wildlife, not to mention the people who visit and support wildlife refuges.

Many refuges, like the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, face threats of funding cuts and development that jeopardize their delicate ecosystems.

Have you ever seen a baby firefly? 💡🔍

Like many insects, fireflies go through a larval stage. These “glowworms” often depend on the moist leaf layer where they find food. 🍃💡🌕

No leaves? No fireflies! 👀

Salamanders, turtles, and frogs, oh my!🦎🍂🐸

These amphibians (and reptiles) love the leaves. For many frogs and salamanders, fallen leaves are an important spot for overwintering. ❄️🍂

Even when the weather heats up, the moist environment is key for the species that breathe through their moist skin! ☀️🍃

The federal government just announced a proposal to weaken protections against dangerous methane pollution. 🏭

Methane is a superpollutant that causes climate change and is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Oil and gas facilities release methane alongside other toxic pollutants that are linked to serious health issues. 🏥

But now the Environmental Protection Agency wants to roll back and weaken protections against methane pollution at oil and gas facilities. Right now, the public will have the opportunity to submit comments against this dangerous proposal that puts our health, wildlife, and climate at risk. 🚨
