Islands aren’t just in the ocean anymore. By carving up landscapes with roads, fences, and sprawl, we’re creating “mainland islands” — and with them, the same extinction risks. 🧵

In the Sierra parks, no salvage crews came through.

Research shows post-fire logging turns recovery into decline. Snags aren’t waste; they’re home.

and unlike the California Condor - which had/has just as many challenges of its own, at least it can fly to other places to try to establish itself - snakes don't have that flexibility. Like the various projects trying to inventory/protect plant seed variants - we need to press faster for animals!

We think extinction happens when a species disappears.
But for most, it begins long before—when roads, fields, and fences break the world into pieces so small that life can only breed with itself.
