Why dehorn rhinos? Rhino horn is keratin (like our fingernails). When done by trained vets, dehorning can reduce financial incentive for poachers. It's a short-term tool paired with security, ranger patrols, habitat protection, & community partnership. youtu.be/B6Q6oESpxzA #RhinoConservation

When a baby rhino is orphaned by poaching, rescue is only the beginning. Wild Tomorrow's Tori Gray shares how years of nutrition, security, rehabilitation, and around-the-clock care can give a young rhino a second chance. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... #BabyRhinos #WildlifeConservation

“There are so many different ways that you can use your skills to support an animal or conservation.” Tori Gray’s advice for young people: follow your curiosity, build relationships, keep learning, and trust the process. Ep 207: open.spotify.com/episode/5TIg... #ConservationCareers #WildlifeJobs

Wild Tomorrow’s rangers removed 300 snares from a previously unpatrolled section of the corridor. Within a week, a camera trap captured a critically endangered wild dog crossing safely. Give wildlife room to survive. @wild-tomorrow.bsky.social youtu.be/B6Q6oESpxzA #WildlifeConservation

Tori Gray describes conservation as the experience of being in a wild place, watching a sunset, feeling the wind move through the grass, and realizing we belong to nature. Ep 208: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... #EnvironmentalEducation #WildTomorrow #Conservation @wild-tomorrow.bsky.social

A Green Mamba at @wild-tomorrow.bsky.social shared that she hopes her daughter grows up to become a Green Mamba too. That is community conservation, representation, meaningful work, and hope in action. open.spotify.com/episode/5TIg... #WildTomorrow #WomenInConservation #WildlifeConservation

Sometimes a book is more than a book.Sometimes it's a lifeline. In Episode 205, @mrschureads.bsky.social and I talk about the readers who have found a lifeline in Louder Than Hunger. Listen to the full episode for an honest conversation about story, healing, and hope. #KidLit #MentalHealthMatters

Care. Connect. Capacious. I can't stop thinking about @mrschureads.bsky.social's John Schu’s three C’s. What would shift if we began each day asking ourselves how we could care, connect, and open our capacious hearts to make more room for one another? Listen to Episode 205 (links below).

What brings hope? Conservation work can protect habitats and wildlife, but it can also create meaningful employment, expand opportunity, and support families in tangible, lasting ways. @wild-tomorrow.bsky.social youtu.be/RWnGHcxjtwY podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

I asked @kaaauthor.bsky.social to give me the right question for her friend, @mrschureads.bsky.social. She asked, "How does John Schu always seem to find the exact right book for the exact right child?" Listen to Episode 205 (links in comments) #AdventuresInLearning #TeacherLife #LiteracyMatters

Senzeleni and Philile share some beautifully simple truths about rewilding in Episode 204. We need to learn to take responsibility, repair what we can, and pass that ability to care on to our kids. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... youtu.be/RWnGHcxjtwY

Before joining Wild Tomorrow, Senzeleni had never walked in the forest and was deeply afraid of it. Now, through her work as a Green Mamba, she knows the land, cares for it, and feels at home there. youtu.be/RWnGHcxjtwY podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

One of my favorite moments from my time with @wild-tomorrow.bsky.social was hearing the Green Mambas sing as my author/illustrator friends and I struggled to keep up with them as we pulled weeds in the forest. youtu.be/RWnGHcxjtwY podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Conservation is never only about the land. In Episode 204 of the Adventures in Learning podcast, Green Mambas the impact of their work with @wild-tomorrow.bsky.social. When we invest in the people doing the work of restoration, that impact travels beyond the field. Links below.

In Episode 203, @trudyludwig.bsky.social reminds us that beneath the labels and differences, we all want the same things: to feel valued, to be seen, and to have our voices heard. www.buzzsprout.com/2019975/epis... youtu.be/KW3AIeK5RhI?...

In Episode 203 @trudyludwig.bsky.social shares “empower tools” she teaches during school visits, age-appropriate strategies that help children set boundaries, walk away, seek support, use harmless humor, or change the subject when someone is being hurtful. www.buzzsprout.com/2019975/epis...

In Episode 203 of the Adventures in Learning Podcast, we talk about anxiety, resilience, and the value of stories that offer comfort without offering a too-easy solution. That is one of the gifts of A Not So Perfect Start and so many of @trudyludwig.bsky.social’s other books as well. Links below.
