In order to stop the screwworm from advancing, says WCS’s
Jeremy Radachowsky, we must shut down illegal cattle trafficking through Central America and into Mexico.
Mexico, Guatemala, and the U.S. should halt this smuggling across the Guatemala-Mexico border.

A new batch of scarlet macaw chicks has hatched in Guatemala. Our team there hand raises these third and fourth chicks. In the wild, they typically don’t survive. When ready, they’ll be released into the wild to boost the population.

A question I ask myself and others more often than I would like: what exactly are we protecting #MarineProtectedAreas from, if the most destructive, non-selective fishing methods are still allowed?
Great to see Sweden take this essential step - hoping that many other jurisdictions will follow.

An important step towards marine protected areas (MPAs) that are truly protected: the Swedish govt has just proposed to change a law to be able to ban destructive bottom trawling in MPAs.
We hope this will inspire other EU govts to follow suit. seas-at-risk.org/press-releas....
