It's such a tragedy. It's so important we protect any land possible we can from development and further degradation. This week, I'm getting involved on the Board of a local Audubon chapter to help local programs focused on conservation and awareness of these types of issues. Anything we can do to help influence policy and make a change can have an impact.

Every other message on here is so depressing (new record of global warming, more animals going extinct, etc.). Just so depressing 😞

This article lead me down a rabbit trail where, via this article: Help Save Wood Thrush: Drink Bird-Friendly Coffee

I learned about this: https://birdsandbeanscoffee.com/

What Is Bird Friendly Coffee?

Bird Friendly® Coffee is Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC) certified and represents a gold standard in ethical and sustainable coffee business.

Bird Friendly® Coffee is coffee that comes from family farms in Latin America that provide good, forest-like habitat for birds. Rather than being grown on farms that have been cleared of vegetation, Bird Friendly coffees are planted under a canopy of trees. These trees provide the shelter, food and homes migratory and local birds need to survive.

This morning, I'm really feeling the weight of what we are doing to the world. 😖

But... I was encouraged a bit to see something being done and in a way I wouldn't have thought.
