The US government has abandoned the black-footed ferret. If you're in a position to do so, please consider supporting these adorable mustelids. Apart from being unbelievably cute, they are very important for disease control because they are a highly effective predator of prairie dogs.

#ExtinctionIsForever

Each #extinction carves a hollow into the heart of the #Earth, a life erased, its wonders unseen, leaving us to mourn what we will never know.

To lose a #species is to lose a world within a world, a singular brilliance extinguished, never again to grace the skies, the seas, or the soil.

Officials have decided to curtail additional water flows for endangered fish in the #Delta this fall--a recipe for #extinction of the formerly abundant Delta smelt.

As Baykeeper science director @jarosenfield & Friends of the River's Gary Bobker wrote:

"California habitually fails to enforce environmental laws designed to protect our aquatic ecosystems. Following the state’s lead, federal agencies skimp on environmental safeguards and waive the meager protections they do offer any time protecting the public’s fish, wildlife, waterways, and water quality, gets in the way of diverting more water to meet California’s seemingly unquenchable demand." https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-10-02/california-water-flow-requirement-debate

"This Delta tunnel risks devastating the West Coast's largest estuary, harming #salmon fisheries, causing fish extinctions, degrading water quality and damaging cultural sites vital to tribal communities." https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/08/31/opinion-delta-tunnel-plan-is-a-risky-destructive-and-unnecessary-gamble/

Newsom failed to take advantage of an opportunity to "Trump-proof" the state's water operations in 2019--and his alternative guidelines don't stop fish from dying:

“We're distinguishing between two different speeds to extinction, not a choice between extinction and not extinction,” as our science director @jarosenfield put it.

Pugh’s Frog uplisted to Endangered:
Logging listed as Cause

“After millions of years of existence, Pugh’s Frog has now been identified at risk of extinction within 50 years. Unless urgent action is taken, my namesake could be extinct in my children’s lifetimes,” warns Dailan Pugh.

“To see the state and federal water agencies exceed their take limits and continue business-as-usual water exports is like witnessing extinction in real time,” said @jarosenfield, science director of San Francisco Baykeeper. “It demonstrates the official negligence and lawlessness that caused these fish, and many others, to become endangered in the first place.”

In #Cambodia, when you are a friend or relative of the king, marine conservation stands in the way of your wealth creation.

“The conversion of Ream National Park to a 39,634-hectare (97,937-acre) marine protected area has done little to prevent more than 8,000 hectares (19,800 acres) of the park and Koh Thmei being handed over to Cambodia’s political elite, including relatives of Prime Minister Hun Manet.

“Even in Kampot province, which sits next to Kep, development has posed a challenge to implementing an MFMA, with the boundaries repeatedly being redrawn due to ongoing land reclamation projects. Meanwhile, in Kep, the island of Koh Tonsay – the largest in the MFMA that MCC helped to establish – has been awarded to Try Pheap, a powerful tycoon who was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for his involvement in Cambodia’s illegal timber trade.”

California is at the forefront of a global crisis known as the #Anthropocene extinction--and no animal group is more at risk than fishes, as our science director Jon Rosenfield writes, "Researchers recently concluded that California is a world leader in the number of freshwater fishes likely to become extinct by the end of the century. Governor Newsom’s water policies are accelerating this race to oblivion."

We can do the same for the hundreds of #animals across the country currently #endangered or at risk, while we also keep working to tackle #ClimateChange, #SaveTheBees, and more.
