If you're anything like me, it may be hard to focus on 'business as usual' while hearing of LA reporters and frontline workers navigating apocalyptic wildfire conditions these past few days. 💪 So naturally, the 'get-it-doner' in me has rounded up several ways we can all lead by example and be that force for good for our LA peers.

My heart goes out for LA communities impacted by the devastating wildfires that have become common place a result of the climate crisis. 💔 Living through and experiencing the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy at a young age prompted me to dedicate my life to climate advocacy. Seeing my neighborhood littered with debris and devastation made it an unavoidable reality. Communities around the nation continue to find ways of moving forward day by day, including North Carolina and Florida residents who are still recovering from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Including Indigenous Maui families who fight to maintain access to their homes and traditional foodways amidst private equity land grabbing. Including Puerto Rico battered by Hurricanes Maria, Irma, and Fiona. Our leaders must have the courage to do better not only to mitigate the damages, but address the underlying conditions of extractivism and greed that fuel the intensity of these crises. In the immediate term, see this list of resources to support the greater LA community. In the face of despair, all of we have is community and solidarity. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e2E-RPC7 #support #mutualaid #climatecrisis #LA #losangeles #climate

What do bags made from reclaimed fishing line, vegan sneakers, and a smart bird feeder have in common? A few things. First, they all make great gifts. I am lucky enough to have each of them and can attest that they are all great and truly bring me joy. Second, the companies who make them — GOT BAG , LØCI, and Bird Buddy — are going above and beyond this holiday season to not only offer you a discount on sustainably made and delightful products, but are also donating a portion of proceeds to help protect and restore the wild via Re:wild. Check out these deals! (Giving a one-time or monthly #donation to benefit #nature in honor of a loved one is a nice gift too. Just sayin’.)

Following seasons of devastating wildfires in California, reforestation efforts are more critical than ever. Today, NFWF and USDA Forest Service announced $53 million in grants to protect and restore forests and watersheds in California. Awarded through the California Forests and Watersheds program, nine projects will focus on improving forest health and watersheds through post-fire restoration efforts, providing sustainable and lasting ecological benefits, protecting communities in and around federally protected public lands, and encouraging shared stewardship of USFS lands.

The future of the Greater Sage-Grouse, an iconic species of the American West, is in doubt — and YOU can help! American Bird Conservancy (ABC) is calling on supporters like you to participate in an open comment period designed to gather feedback on a new set of management plans proposed by the Bureau of Land Management.

Now, ABC and partners are fighting for what might be the species' last hope for a chance at survival. Don't wait to take action: Comments are due tomorrow, Tuesday, May 14! Urge the Bureau of Land Management to adopt the strongest conservation plan needed to recover the bird's declining populations. Act now to conserve the Greater Sage-Grouse!

The Santa Cruz River, a symbol of resilience and restoration, faces renewed threats as it struggles to maintain its recent progress. Today, American Rivers announces the inclusion of the Santa Cruz River in its annual list of America's Most Endangered Rivers®. The #SantaCruzRiver has provided life-sustaining water to humans for more than 12,000 years — including some of the oldest communities in North America. The Tohono Oʼodham Nation has stewarded these lands and waters since time immemorial, and both the Tohono O’odham Nation and Pascua Yaqui Tribe continue to live in the area today. The annual America’s Most Endangered Rivers report is a list of rivers at a crossroads, where key decisions in the coming months will determine the rivers’ fates. Over the years, the report has helped spur many successes including the removal of outdated dams, the protection of rivers with Wild and Scenic designations, and the prevention of harmful development and pollution. You can help us reach our goals at santacruzriver.org Or by donating directly to Sonoran Institute on our website, sonoraninstitute.org
