El diputado @josehoracior solicita a la Comisión de Medio Ambiente verificar una denuncia hecha por @GrupoJaragua, quienes han alertado de las graves consecuencias que generaría la construcción de un puerto en Pedernales, afectando el turismo y la pesca del país. @ambienterd

Cuando veo a @arieldemar, sus logros y metas, me lleno de orgullo al ver quien fue mi estudiante y ahora amigo buscar enseñar a la sociedad. Llevar información científica de manera clara, objetiva y sin sensacionalismo debe ser meta de todos los que trabajan en ciencia. Bravo 🙌

Sólo esperamos que a @luisabinader no se le ocurra alojarse mañana en el negocio de este bandido en su visita a Pedernales @SOSAmbienteRD @ccfreudendorff @luiscarvajalnu @caubatistard @orlandojm @federicofrancot

So, remember the wildlife stories that lifted up our spirits recently? Turns out, a few of those were #fakenews. Check out this article by @NatGeo. nationalgeographic.com/anima… #Comm4Cons

I like this message and think it's a lot more effective than guilting people on their diets. We don't have to demonise people for eating meat or not, we all just need to eat more sustainably and consume a bit less 🙂 #Comm4Cons
What we eat not only affects our health, but also the environment.
Watch to learn why our current consumption is unsustainable and how changing our diet can help us and our planet. 🌎 #FightForYourWorld
Did you guys see this interesting alliance? #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons I'm sure my Animal Behaviour friends will enjoy this one😋 dailymail.co.uk/news/article…
Loving #Pocket! Exactly what I needed to have an organised and clear view of the things I find interesting but don't have the time to read when I first see them. Didn't know about this, but I already think it will be a game-changer for my Twitter experience #Comm4Cons #C4C10DoT
I love fireflies! I remember growing up and seeing them in my backyard every night. Slowly, they started showing up less and less. These glowing beauties seem to be having a hard time reproducing and feeding due to #lightpollution: nytimes.com/2020/02/03/clima… #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons
Found an interesting HT about recent events in Germany related to the #Datteln4 Coal Plant. Even though there's a lot of information in German, there's plenty of tweets in English. Read more here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/… and follow the HT to stay tuned. #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons
Well, this is interesting. I just hope that this time we make it right and assess the impacts on #biodiversity and #climate of producing lithium batteries so we don't end up hitting a similar wall in a few decades. Any thoughts? #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons
The sale of petrol and diesel cars will be banned five years earlier than planned, under a climate change drive to be unveiled by Boris Johnson

Good ol' Diego taking a few for the team here. #C4C10DoT #Coom4Cons
Meet #Diego the 100 year old giant #tortoise whose sex drive single handedly saved his #species from #extinction. On this island there were some fifteen tortoise when he came, now over two thousand. Diego is retired from #conservation breeding programme now.
This is insanely awesome. A clear example of why we should ''future-proof'' our conservation strategies, of why landscape-scale conservation matters and of the importance of successful breeding programs. Check it out! #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons
The Echo #Parakeet was once down to only a dozen individuals in #Mauritius, but #conservation efforts since the 1970s have resulted in a #wild population of over 800 today! #parrot #parrots #recovery #birds #nature #wildlife #biodiversity #letnaturethrive

This Friday, I recommend following @ConservOptimism :) all is not lost and I truly believe we need that constant reminder. There's a lot of conservation success stories out there and they make sure we hear about them. #ff #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons
I was recently introduced to this ''grooming trap'' used to control feral cat populations. It's designed around behaviour and I think it's pretty innovative. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=AnpJBI_5… Any thoughts? #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons
Had a pretty interesting discussion with @ToniBeardsall @Emma_Melissa84 and @Aimee_mayyy about the ethics behind this new technique. Could it be detrimental to albatrosses? Any thoughts? nytimes.com/2020/01/27/scien… #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons
This feels like a good day to listen to some conservation stories and get inspired :). Today I'm recommending the amazing @allcreaturespod podcast. Mammals, amphibians, marine species, insects, you name it, they have it all. Enjoy :D #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons
Absolutely loved this. There will be a second one in April. Stay tuned! :)
What an awesome webinar from @globalforests an introduction to satellite monitoring! Can't wait for the next one #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons
Starting with important news from my home country. I've created this art to showcase what's happening #C4C10Dot #Comm4Cons
