📍 #DYK In Kenya, USAID supported 1,100 community scouts patrolling 7.3M hectares of habitat for critically important wildlife — that’s like having community patrols protect an area nearly the size of the state of Maine. #kenya #CommunityBuilding #wildlife

📍 #DYK In Peru, USAID helped include wildlife trafficking in the organized crime framework for the country - allowing more resources to fund much-needed state sanctioned environmental prosecutors. #Peru is now able to prosecute wildlife crimes more effectively.

Add Antarctic tidepooling to your list🤘🏽 This echinoderm needs to survive in temperatures as low as -1.8°C (28.8°F) using antifreeze proteins, plus it’s cute. #antarctica #seastar #starfish

We were the first humans to have ever kayaked this uncharted glacial lake in South Georgia. It just so happened to have a rather undocumented king penguin colony on its edge. Probably over 100,000 birds Definitely not aspiring for a normal life. #antarctica #penguins #Christmas

Checkin out the locals at the beach☀️ Magellanic penguins looking adorb at Gypsy Cove in the Falkland Islands today. Interestingly, this area was the last of the Falklands to be cleared of landmines Now we get to visit & see this amazing colony in all its sub Antarctic glory🐧

They call this place El Fin del Mundo The World's End...but it's been my launching point to see so much more of the world than I ever thought possible. Sailing into my 3rd season on the #Antarctic Peninsula 🇦🇶 Will share highlights from the bottom of the world! #womeninstem

🇺🇾 In Montevideo for a quick work pitstop and, as always, hyper-fixating on stats about where I am, so in case you didn’t know: #Uruguay is a global leader in renewable energy, with 98% of its electricity coming from renewable sources. ☀️💨🌊 They also have pretty 8PM sunsets

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project." Read that again: **116** times. Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding?? scotsman.com/hays-way/bumble…
