The CP2 methane gas terminal is already a controversial project due to the disastrous effects it will have on our climate & communities.
Now, just weeks into construction, sludge is ending up where it's not supposed to be, affecting local fisherfolk & key ecosystems. #StopLNG

A couple of iridescent Colombian Chocó residents.
1. Velvet-purple Coronet (Boissonneaua jardini)
2. I found on the internet, tribe Eustylini a member of Broad-nosed Weevils Subfamily Entiminae but not sure if that is true. Any info would be greatly appreciated. #savethechoco

With its crisp black-and-white face, bold yellow throat, and sleek gray back, the Yellow-throated Warbler is a striking sight throughout the southeast.

It was a fun week exploring new places in Ecuador. I ended up seeing 287 species, 92 being lifers, putting my Ecuador list at 906. Six of the 287 birds were Antpittas which 4 were lifers! Ecuador continues to surprise and stun me. #birding #conservation

Anybody in Philly willing to host a seed dispersal station?
I’ve come to the conclusion that the best case scenario is to have nearby neighbor volunteers “adopt” a seed dispersal station.
If you live in Philadelphia and are willing to adopt a station, which involves checking it every day and refilling with seed packs (that I will provide), lmk.

What better way to celebrate #worldfrogday than sharing a photo of Phyllobates bicolor. Phyllobates bicolor is the second most toxic frog in the world and one of the few that can kill a human! Frogs are one of the most endangered animal groups in the world and an indicator of a healthy ecosystem.

The Gold-ringed Tanager (Bangsia aureocincta) is a stunning Chocó endemic only found in Colombia. It inhabits a narrow band of dense humid, mossy cloud-forest on the slopes of the western Andes, where it survives on a diet of fruit and insects. They are listed as Vulnerable. #savethechoco
