The lower right jaw of a Fin whale is white, while the lower left jaw is black. It's the second largest mammal on Earth, but it needs our help. The Fin whale is an endangered species because of human activity like climate change, habitat loss, and commercial whaling. #Endangered
The #Tonawanda #Seneca Nation’s Fight to Protect the #BigWoods and stop STAMP
By Margaret Wooster (WNY Environmental Alliance) with Sarah Howard (Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation + Allies of the Tonawanda Seneca Nation) June 16, 2023
"One of Western #NewYork’s greatest treasures is a 20,000-acre #wetland-#grassland complex located mainly in the Town of Alabama, and locally known as 'Alabama Swamp.' It is also known as the Sixth Great Lake, a glacial lake now largely underground but surfacing in the plentiful streams and pools that make this watery landscape essential to the many reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds who live or pass through, especially during spring migration.
"This area is also home to the Tonawanda Seneca Nation, a federally recognized Nation and part of the #HaudenosauneeConfederacy. The extraordinary #biodiversity of this area is in large part a testament to their ongoing #stewardship and reciprocal relationship with the more-than-human beings who also call this place home.
"But now, this place, and the Tonawanda Seneca Nation itself, faces an existential threat to their well-being. The #GeneseeCounty Economic Development Center (#GCEDC) has purchased 1,260 acres of habitat and farmland to build a Science and Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park (#STAMP) adjacent to the Nation’s territory. The site is also located within a few miles of multiple state and federally protected areas, including the #Iroquois National #Wildlife Refuge and the John White Wildlife Management Area.
"The STAMP plan capitalizes on federal and state subsidies for #microchip fabrication. To date, however, its only tenant is Plug Power, a #HydrogenFuelCell manufacturer whose product will have to be trucked many miles to market, undermining its justification as 'green power.'
"Two other possible developers – semiconductor producer #EdwardsVacuum and the warehouse developer #ScannellProject – would pave or build over the site’s northern 600-plus acres and bring an extra 140 #cars and #diesel trucks per hour up the narrow country road that leads to the refuge and through the Nation.
"However, the Tonawanda Seneca Nation and their allies, including other local residents and numerous environmental organizations, are fighting back against this industrial development. In February [2023], the GCEDC applied for a 'Full Campus Incidental Take Permit' that would allow them to remove habitat for #endangered and threatened #wildlife species known to occupy the site, including the #ShortEaredOwl and the #NorthernHarrierHawk. In response to the hundreds of letters it received from the public about this permit, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) required the GCEDC to hold a public hearing, which took place on May 11 in the town of Basom.
"More than 185 people attended the hearing. All 49 who spoke were opposed to the permit and the majority expressed opposition to the entire STAMP project. Speaking in opposition were numerous members of the Tonawanda Seneca Nation, including titleholders, as well as allies from groups including the Buffalo Niagara #Waterkeeper, #SierraClub, #SaveOntarioShores, SUNY ESF, University of Rochester, Western New York Environmental Alliance and the #CleanAirCoalition of Western New York. In the words of Tonawanda Seneca Nation Sub-Chief Scott Logan (Bear Clan), 'If this permit were to be granted, it would be an immense injustice to #MotherEarth. And as a #Haudenosaunee person, and all the Haudenosaunee People in here, that is our birthright. It is our, what we are here for, is to protect the earth. And the STAMP Project goes a hundred percent against what we are — what we’re all about.'
"The STAMP site is located immediately adjacent to the Nation’s present-day reservation boundaries. Indeed, the most intensive manufacturing will be located along the project’s border with the Nation. However, as their Council of Chiefs has repeatedly stated in public comment letters and letters to agencies responsible for granting permits sought by the developers, the project’s approval process has continuously and egregiously undermined the Nation’s #sovereignty. In violation of their status as a federally recognized #TribalNation, the Tonawanda Band of Seneca’s Council of Chiefs – their traditional governance structure – has not been afforded a robust consultation process in decision-making about the project. Instead, opportunities for consultation have been perfunctory at best, and have focused almost exclusively on mitigation.
"In their official letter to the NYDEC regarding the proposed Part 182 Take Permit (mentioned above), the Nation’s Council of Chiefs wrote that, 'The Tonawanda Seneca Nation opposes this habitat destruction and would directly be impacted by it. The permit would allow for unmitigated incidental take on Nation lands when, inevitably, increased human presence, noise, excavation, light and traffic would disturb these species and turn them away… We do not want our Territory, people or future generations to be burdened by the negative impacts of these projects. This is a human rights issue for the Tonawanda Seneca Nation and the Haudenosaunee, who would bear a disproportionate burden from the industrialization of the land at STAMP.'
"The Council of Chiefs has demanded that a supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) be carried out to assess the possible impacts on the Nation, its culture and its environment; to date there has been no such study and the 2012 STAMP EIS (which did not analyze impacts on the nation) is badly outdated."

For more than 60 years, researchers have been unable to physically see a critically endangered animal known as one of the world's most unusual mammals. But now, one of Attenborough's long-beaked echidna, named for famed biologist and naturalist Sir David Attenborough, has been found – and caught on camera.

Dotterel in braided river.
Spotted this parent - the other was also close by, as was at least one chick.
Bit of a dangerous place though - parents had to contend with a harrier hawk looking for a snack.
And, being a site for gravel extraction, multiple excavator tracks crossed the site - surprised the chick had made it this far.
Taken with a lens which would have made a good mycology study.

Council introduces laws to help protect endangered koalas from dogs
"Dog owners living in parts of the Gold Coast must now follow strict rules or face fines under tough laws designed to keep koalas safe...New laws in a Queensland city mean people who live in designated koala habitat area must prevent their dogs from attacking the animals, by providing a range of options so the marsupials can enter and escape."
"Each year, probably about 100 koalas get taken into animal hospitals … due to dog attacks, around about 75 per cent of them die — so it's a major issue."
"The proposed new laws have been designed to help protect koalas by ensuring dog owners in designated koala areas provide koala-friendly backyards"

"Along #Florida’s coast, multiple #CoralRestoration projects have hundreds of people painstakingly attaching #coral fragments to acres of #endangered #reefs. These efforts are yielding impressive results, but they won’t be enough... Other projects have successfully coaxed #corals to reproduce sexually in laboratory settings... Another option is boosting natural sexual reproduction of corals."
After helping prevent extinctions for 50 years, the Endangered Species Act itself may be in peril.
The AP reports "the law has become so controversial that Congress hasn’t updated it since 1992 — and some worry it won’t last another half-century."
1/ O holy laziness! I decided not to go to the museum because rainy 14°C is not so much comfortable for sitting outside. I will enjoy the pleasant coolness in my studio before the heat returns. My excuse: So many #BiodiversityShrines for the exhibition in October are not ready yet. (Look on the hashtag for more). So I'm going to skewer #endangered species (don't worry, it's #PaperArt). #NatureArt #assemblages #artistsOfMastodon #EcoArt #activism #BiodiversityLoss #ClimateAction #FolkArt #kinship

Drones are disturbing critically endangered shorebirds.
Yet another threat to shorebirds along the coastline - habitat destruction, dogs and boats
"Drone disturbance can interrupt birds as they rest or feed. It can even cause them to avoid some locations altogether. This is particularly concerning for species such as the eastern curlew, which migrate thousands of kilometres to breed."
'Regulating drone use near critical shorebird habitats will help us to avoid exacerbating population declines, while still allowing the use of a valuable tool, where appropriate."

Interior Sec. Haaland Supports Digging into #Paiute Massacre Site for Lithium
by Brenda Norrell, Censored News
Raided and terrorized by police, their Eagle Feathers taken, now Interior Sec. #DebHaaland has broken their hearts, imperiling future generations. Ox Sam Camp at the Paiute Massacre Site. The People of the Ghost Dancers
"Interior Sec. Deb Haaland supports digging into the burial places of massacred Paiutes for #lithium -- and said she is doing the right thing.
"AP reports that Haaland, whose department oversees Thacker Pass, said that while she supports
the right to peaceful #protests, her agency is in favor of the mine because 'the need for our clean
energy economy to move forward is definitely important.'
"Haaland told The Associated Press that when her agency inherits a project from a previous
administration, 'It’s our job to make sure we’re doing things according to the science, to the law.'
However, the Interior Department and a federal judge are violating federal laws that protect Native
American religious and burial places; #endangered species and their habitat; and the #groundwater."

#endangered of course :(
The Green Sea Turtle is another endangered species that ends up ingesting a lot of human trash in its stomach as well as getting caught in fishing nets. However, I saw more on this trip in the water and on land than I have ever before - so hoping the trend is reversing. There are volunteers on the beaches in Kauai who protect both the turtles and monk seals. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/green-sea-turtle-coming-to-shore-at-poipu-belinda-greb.html

The Hawaiian Monk Seal is critically endangered. They get viruses from cats or pollutants from toxic runoff in coastal waters. They get caught in fishing nets or are hit by ships. Human trash like lighters and plastic items end up in their stomaches The rising sea waters from climate change impact birthing habitats and resting areas. They rest onshore for about 8 hours a day which is what this fellow was doing.

I am fascinated with the #blossoms on the #FloweringDogwood tree that is labelled as #endangered in #Ontario Canada. I had always assumed that the white petals were actually white petals but I was wrong as the center is the actual flower and the white petals are actually leaves.

red-cockaded woodpeckers :) an #endangered species in my home state. I was really lucky to encounter a small group of these woodpeckers squawking, chasing each other, and loudly pounding trees. they didn't seem to care I was on the path right below them! #birdphotography
The“great koala national park”
Environment groups have long called for the #koala park, which would link 140,000 hectares of existing national parks with 170,000 hectares of state forest. The New South Wales Labor party (#promises) will establish a new national park stretching from #Kempsey to #Coffs Harbour in a bid to save the state’s #endangered koala population.

There are ~28000 species of #Orchids globally but only very few in the #Arctic. Chamorchis alpina is one of those. The only species in its genus.
It’s not as showy nor colourful as its many relatives, but it is always a pleasing find.
Occurs only on the calcareous heaths of Fennoscandia and #Alps. #Endangered here in #Finland.
Does breakfast with a giraffe "help save ... critically #endangered #animals" or create another counterproductive #extinction spectacle? 🤔 More on the difference: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/14/opinion/endangered-species-biodiversity-cop15.html

I managed to track down some seeds for an endangered native plant for some guerilla gardening.
I'm going to directly sew half and stratify the other half to start at home.
I got them from a botanical garden so I know no wild populations were impacted. I'm hoping to get enough of them established to collect seed for planting in new locations.
On the lookout for other species that I can get my hands on!
