My latest for @therevelator.org began as a story for a class. It evolved into a months long reporting project, following the years long effort to preserve and protect New Zealand's critically endangered Māui's dolphins, which are considered taonga by the Māori people of New Zealand.

How the descendants of the destroyers became the restorers: Psyched to have an excerpt from The Earth Said Remember Me published by the good folks @therevelator.org therevelator.org/for-bald-eag...

For Bald Eagles, the Descendants of the Destroyers Became the Restorers • The RevelatorThis excerpt from the new book The Earth Said Remember Me looks at the shifting baselines around the United States’ national bird — which many people already forget almost disappeared.therevelator.org

It wouldn’t make sense to prohibit shooting a threatened woodpecker while allowing its forest to be cut down, or to bar killing #endangered salmon while allowing a dam to dry out their habitat. But that’s what the Trump admin. is doing by changing how one word in the #ESA is interpreted: harm.

Porcula sounds sus… but that’s exactly the point. 😆 The pygmy hog (Porcula salvania) nearly got lumped into the Sus genus with other pigs. Genome analyses vindicated the original classification: Porcula is its own distinct genus. Long live the little lineage that could! 🐗🧬
