🔊 What if there was a 23andMe for grizzlies? 🔊 Funded by our partnership with National Science Foundation (NSF); a team of grantees at University of California, Santa Cruz, University of California, Riverside, University of Montana, Washington State University, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are doing just that. Through genomic data, researchers can understand why brown bear populations are dwindling, and how to maintain their genetic health, and what conservation action is needed for grizzlies to thrive.

If we could communicate with animals, what would they tell us? How could we apply what we learn to conservation? We're supporting Earth Species Project's groundbreaking work to make progress in fundamental research and foundational datasets that support breakthroughs in animal communication. https://lnkd.in/g6imad8k

An excellent story from Stephanie Cher for High Country News about the power of third spaces for building community and connection. This quote stuck with us: "The heart of a community lies in its people." https://lnkd.in/dzJ5CsaX

From nourishment to culture, our lives and ecosystems are interwoven with salmon. As we work to help them recover, we save ourselves as well. Read about ongoing efforts and the people leading the way to help this important species: https://nature.ly/3yT32Rf

When it comes to conservation, knowledge is a powerful tool. Imagine if we got our knowledge direct from the wildlife we are trying to help? “If we're able to analyze their communication and get a better sense of the social structure that is occurring within that population, then we’ll be able to design more effective conservation strategies.” Our grantee Earth Species Project is doing some incredible work exploring communication with animals. We see significant conservation potential for this sort of cutting-edge research and work. https://lnkd.in/gzkC_s6h

The United States boasts a remarkably rich and diverse array of ecosystems, but many species are at risk. We believe that by funding a collaboration between the scientists studying these species and the conservationists working to protect them, we can help bridge research and action.
