Deb Haaland for Interior Secretary

Fierce Planet Posted on February 24, 2021 by jnfrApril 22, 2021

“I acknowledge that we are on the ancestral homelands of the Nakochtank, Anacostan, and Piscataway people.” Above is her opening statement. Tom Udall and Mark Udall say, in USA Today: Rep. Haaland’s nomination is both historic and long overdue. If confirmed, she would be the first Native American Cabinet member. Her record is in line with mainstream conservation priorities. Thus, the exceptional criticism of Rep. Haaland and the threatened holds on her nomination must be motivated by something other than her record. Of course as a woman she gets more scrutiny, even more so as an Indigenous woman. Today she … Continue reading →

What they are doing to my Heart Land

Fierce Planet Posted on February 7, 2020 by jnfrFebruary 7, 2020

The Intercept’s Ryan Devereaux has an excellent and horrifying overview of the damage being done at Organ Pipe. Trump Is Blowing Up a National Monument in Arizona to Make Way for the Border Wall Contractors working for the Trump administration are blowing apart a mountain on protected lands in southern Arizona to make way for the president’s border wall. The blasting is happening on the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, a tract of Sonoran Desert wilderness long celebrated as one of the nation’s great ecological treasures, that holds profound spiritual significance to multiple Native American groups…. Celebrated as “a pristine … Continue reading →

“And when Trump is gone, we’ll tear it all down.”

Fierce Planet Posted on January 31, 2020 by jnfrJanuary 31, 2020

More from Laiken Jordahl, reporting from the border: Trump’s wall is destroying the environment activists are protecting Imagine dedicating your entire life to protecting a place. Then imagine watching everything you’ve worked to protect be bulldozed by a desperate, self-serving president. That’s what’s happening right now to career scientists and conservationists at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument on Arizona’s border with Mexico. I used to work there too. It breaks my heart. Organ Pipe, a sprawling 500-square-mile wilderness area home to the best preserved Sonoran Desert ecosystem on the planet, is being butchered by President Trump’s border wall…. The wall … Continue reading →

Actually, that’s one billion animals killed

Fierce Planet Posted on January 10, 2020 by jnfrJanuary 10, 2020

And even those who survive may have no habitat to return to. From the Washington Post: A billion animals have been caught in Australia’s fires. Some may go extinct. Some of the rarest species on Earth are threatened by fires scorching their habitats, scientists warn. …More than 1 billion mammals, birds and reptiles nationwide — some of them found nowhere else on Earth — may have been affected or killed by the fires sweeping across Australia, according to a University of Sydney estimate. The potential toll is far greater when other types of animals are included. “We’re not just talking … Continue reading →

Trump is destroying Organ Pipe National Monument

Fierce Planet Posted on December 17, 2019 by jnfrDecember 17, 2019

From folks on the ground: Truckload after truckload of massive metal bollards are being hauled into Organ Pipe to build Trump’s wall. The barrier will stop migrating wildlife in their tracks, severing this UNESCO biosphere reserve from all habitat south of the border. 📷 Rosemary Schiano pic.twitter.com/D73VAGejW4 — Laiken Jordahl (@LaikenJordahl) December 16, 2019 ALERT: DHS contractors spotted drilling well just 8 miles from Organ Pipe’s Quitobaquito spring. This well taps the La Abra aquifer — the same source that feeds Quitobaquito and the endangered species that depend on it. Footage shot this morning by Rosemary Schiano: pic.twitter.com/aOggQmLiJd — Laiken … Continue reading →

Fierce Planet Posted on January 26, 2019 by jnfrJanuary 26, 2019

My teenage daughter has made a short video trying to explain to other young people––& to herself––why biodiversity loss, extinction & vanishing species really, really matter. It’s spoken from the heart. It’s about one of the vital issues of our times. Please share, show, discuss! pic.twitter.com/8T2oStvOgr — Robert Macfarlane (@RobGMacfarlane) January 26, 2019
