Despite Biden's Promise to Protect Old Forests, His Administration Keeps Approving Plans to Cut Them Down
—
Old-growth forests are key to slowing #climate change and to protecting endangered species. In #Oregon, logging in Bureau of Land Management-controlled areas has continued at a steady pace despite Biden’s promise to protect these forests.

A #GrayWolf killed in a January #coyote hunt in #Michigan's southern Lower Peninsula; #DNR investigating how it got there.
The *harvest* was potentially the 1st time a gray wolf has been identified in the Lower Peninsula since the species was wiped out [driven to #extinction] from the state in the early 20th century, MI Dept of #NaturalResources said.

Another piping plover sequence, this time of an unbanded male slurping up a worm on the beach.
One of the things that we noticed about the piping plovers on a May trip to the beach was that they they like to hang out in footprints and other indentations in the sand. This one is hanging out in a footprint.
I think this is a male known as 'Clark Kent', mostly b/c he's got red and blue leg bands.
A piping plover in full aggressive mode. This week seems to have had a lot of bird drama in the Rockaways area. The piping plovers, American oystercatchers, and tree swallows were all visibly fighting over nesting spots.
My happy place: ocean, sand wind, sunset and a handsome dog. On leash because of nesting hooded plovers #endangeredspecies #hoodedplovers #beachwalks #dogsofmastodon
I've heard that we focus too much on the monarch butterfly to the detriment of other bugs. Its stunning beauty gives it a marketing edge that other insects don't have.
But monarchs bring people into the #pollinator world. Once someone gets into monarchs, they learn about caterpillars, wildlife habitat, native plants. And planting #milkweed and nectar flowers for monarchs helps lots of other #butterflies and #bumblebees.
Let’s get personal, shall we? I’ve been here a while now, and as I’m feeling quite comfortable at Mastodon, I’d like to share a bit more about myself beyond my passion for the climate and the environment.
To begin with, I’m a male, he/him, hetero, strongly supporting LGBTQ rights. I’m a baby boomer, born at 312 PPM 
, a United Statesian, although I lived in Europe (mostly Hungary) for several years, and traveled extensively for work before retiring in 2012. I’ve never been good at sustaining long-term romantic relationships, and I’ve finally settled into comfortable singlehood.
I like to say I’m made of contrasts.
For example, I’m rather funny and quite personable, but I don’t enjoy small talk and I hate parties. I currently live in the Bible Belt, but I’m an outspoken atheist. While I can easily fit into most social situations, I don’t feel comfortable around large groups and prefer being alone most of the time. I live near two huge military bases, but I detest the USA’s militaristic, troop-worshiping culture. I’m almost always cheerful, which masks my deeply felt existential nihilism. I’m a neat freak, but also rather lazy, preferring fun over work.
I’ll finish up with some hashtags to add flavor...
