Hawai'i's native forest birds are facing extinction. The biggest threat: avian malaria from mosquitoes. Funding from the #IRA and #IIJA is supporting a pilot study that's pitting mosquitoes against mosquitoes in hopes of reversing this loss. @NatureHIPal nature.org/en-us/what-we-do/…

“The Clean Water Act is one of the nation’s most fundamental environmental laws, passed over a half-century ago with the goal of restoring the health of the nation’s waters... Unfortunately, today’s ruling makes the act’s goal harder to achieve.” nature.org/en-us/newsroom/su…
