What do young #giraffes do when they mature? While most young males leave home & move to new areas, others stay put & switch to new social communities. Most females remain with their extended family throughout their lives #popecol #storybehindthepaper 👇

We are happy that @JoeBiden has chosen @RepDebHaaland as Secretary of the @Interior!
We are looking forward to working with her in her new roll to increase protections for imperiled species, phaseing out of extraction on public lands & moving away from false climate solutions.
