On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we recognize that the survival of #bigcats in Asia depends on people who care. In Iran where I made this photo, 7 cheetah conservationists have been jailed for over 5 years. On 6/5 join online to learn more. https://t.co/UMZY6qjWsM

In dry years the #SalinasRiver is not more than a trickle of water hemmed in by low levees. It's reclaimed its historic floodplain covering thousands of acres of ag/crop land. It will be months before the consequences become clear. Photo by @LantingFrans

The #MontereyBay's Pajaro River is flooding a nearby community & ag lands. Our hearts go out to those whose lives are impacted. Bracing for the next storm that is due to hit our area, we'll continue to cover events as they unfold for our #BayofLifeProject. Video by @FransLanting

The Persian leopard is almost extinct. Yet in Iran, 7 conservationists have been jailed unjustly for more than 4 years now. They deserve to be freed to pave the way for new international efforts. #anyhopefornature #FreeIranianConservationists #OnlyOneEarth #WorldEnvironmentDay

Image by Frans Lanting. Reflecting on the challenging year behind us, we take inspiration from the resilience of this redwood tree scorched by wildfire, as it sends out new growth from its blackened trunk. We send love to you & those dear, wishing you strength in the year ahead.
