Endangered sea #turtle populations show signs of recovery in more than half the world, survey finds
phys.org/news/2025-04-endanger paper: int-res.com/abstracts/esr/v56/

"Many of the populations have come back, though some haven't... Overall, the #SeaTurtles story is one of the real #conservation success stories... #GreenTurtles are still endangered globally, but their populations show signs of recovery in many regions of the world... #LeatherbackTurtles are not faring as well as other species of #turtles"

I guess it is Earth Day today? I thought that was back on 4/20 to be honest, I got confused I suppose. It was sometime around now. Remember back almost a decade ago when Alt NPS started up? I drew this to celebrate them. The map geeks among us can probably figure out where the topo is from, which National Park.

Enjoy!

A rounded corner square design bordered in deep forest green and lighter green as the base color inside. Overlayed are squiggly lines of the deep green and some in gray, they represent contours of topography. There is blue running through as well, representing water. Along the water is small text in same blue "Established 2017" On top of this layered background are the letters ALT NPS. The A is brown, with two grizzlies locked standing on their hind legs to make the A shape The L is brown, in the shape of a wolf howolling at the moon, it's body makes the upright part of the L and the tail makes the horizontal part. The T is brown, in the shape of a moose head. Antlers form the cross piece of the T and head itself forms the vertical section. The N is represented by gray snow capped mountains, with help from a deep green forest scape in front to make the N more obvious as it holds the negative space underneath the first peak. The P is a continuation of the forest from N, with a rising Redwood proud and tall, a yellow sun peaking out for the curved upper part of the P. The S is a an extension of a river from the background, pulled into the foreground and completing the scene with the N and P...mountains, forest, sea.

#Mongolia is known for #desertification, but very few people realise that #mining industry is largely to blame. Thanks to the cooperation with #herders and their knowledge, Batmunkh Luvsandash has fought to #protect more than a million acres of #steppe lands.

There’s something about viewing Earth from space — the shift in perspective has for decades moved us emotionally, scientifically, and philosophically.

The iconic Earthrise image of our planet rising above the lunar horizon, taken in 1968 by astronauts aboard the Apollo 8 mission, is widely credited with fueling the environmental movement that led to the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970.

This #EarthDay I see that the Turtle Survival Alliance is launching their 5th Annual Turtle Month so I thought I would share these two prints they commissioned of turtles supporting the Earth featuring endangered turtle species of special focus: one for turtles from North America, and one for turtles from around the world. TSA works to prevent extinctions of these amazing and varied animals worldwide, so I was very glad to make art for this cause! 🧵

My 11” x 14” linocut print shows a stack of various endangered North American turtles supporting the Earth against the blackness of space. Turtles from North America are: 1 - Bog Turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) 2 - Spotted Turtle (Clemmys guttata) 3 - Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) 4 - Diamondback Terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) (female) 5 - Wood Turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) 6 - Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii)

Scientists have identified nine planetary boundaries that help regulate a livable planet. Human activities have pushed six of those nine critical Earth systems beyond safe limits, threatening the stability of life as we know it.
