I am a mom and scientist begging everyone to look closer at the muck.
We’ve been conditioned to see wetlands as wastelands. But three decades of research, I see a fiercely defiant wilderness. The boreal mire is a dynamic carbon-trapping vault that in some places has outlasted ice ages. 1/

Ten years after we petitioned, in 2021 the Service listed the foxes’ #SierraNevada population as endangered but didn’t designate #CriticalHabitat. So we went to court — and the court found that the agency had made three separate legal mistakes in withholding habitat safeguards.

Designation of #CriticalHabitat is one of the strongest provisions in the #ESA.
It provides key protections for listed species, prohibiting federal agencies from permitting, funding, or carrying out actions that “adversely modify” designated areas.

This year, we shut down destructive coal #mining in the heart of #CriticalHabitat for jewel-like candy darters in WV.
We also reached a historic agreement to end most cattle #grazing at Point Reyes, which will help native tule elk survive.

⚠️ Despite the now-deconstructed Highwood Bridge being built in #CriticalHabitat for #BullTrout, DFO has elected NOT to fine West Fraser ⚠️
If companies can break the DFO's own rules and face no meaningful consequences, how can we expect endangered species to survive?
