Happy from the Wildlife Research Alliance!
Over two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, slaves in Galveston, TX we're finally told they were free on June 19, 1865. This may have legally marked the end of slavery in the United States, but attaining true equality remains a battle for Black people and people of color over 150 years later.
Environmental justice remains elusive for communities that have systemically been exploited for profit, such as the people of Flint, MI, Reserve, LA, and the Bronx, NY - all majority non-white areas.
We encourage you to take some time today to reflect on how you can play a role in ending systemic racism and advocating for environmental justice. Slavery may look different today than in the 1860s, but that doesn't mean it's gone.

Conservation behavior is an exciting, multi-disciplinary field that lets the animals tell us what they need. There's something for everyone, whether you like field work, lab work, statistics, communications, marine animals, land animals, mammals, reptiles...the list goes on!
Leave your conservation behavior questions in the comments and we'll do our best to answer them!

Sea turtles face many threats, but we all have the power to help them! A little goes a long way, and when we help sea turtles, we are also helping other species - including humans! Even if you don't live near the ocean, what you do affects it, so help some sea turtles today!
