Today, on #NationalBirdDay, we recognize the remarkable birds that grace our shores, skies, and naval installations—symbols of resilience and natural harmony. Until recently, the eagle soaring in the Department of the Navy’s seal wasn’t technically our “official bird,” but last week, an act of Congress confirmed what many already assumed: the bald eagle is now formally designated as the national bird of the United States. Its presence represents a powerful heritage of strength and vigilance that dates back to its appearance in the Great Seal of 1782.' As we defend the homeland, the Navy and Marine Corps are committed to responsible environmental stewardship of the lands that both people and wildlife call home. When we create a protected, safe habitat, we create a safe, protected place to train – that’s how we balance military readiness with environmental protection and achieve success in both missions. On this day, let’s celebrate the beauty, diversity, and freedom of all birds and reaffirm our dedication to safeguarding the environments they—and we—call home. #ClimateReadiness #MissionReadiness

"The rising demand on the [Royal Australian Navy], coupled with the growing complexity of civil maritime threats and the heightened risks to critical maritime infrastructure—such as ports and subsea cables—necessitates a rethinking of Australia’s maritime security structures." ??Read the paper at https://lnkd.in/gpX-DeKV.

May we never forget that freedom isn't free. Today we give our deepest gratitude to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. As we honor those we have lost, we also recognize the important role our military plays as a conservation partner. Covering approximately 27 million acres of land, our nation’s military bases help support ecologically important habitats. One great example is Fort Riley, a five-square-mile Army base in the Flint Hills of Kansas. In addition to the Army’s First Infantry Division, Fort Riley hosts a population of greater prairie-chickens, which, like other grassland-obligate species, thrive in treeless grasslands. In this Ask an Expert, WLFW-supported researcher Caleb Roberts discusses how spatial targeting can be used to safeguard critical lek locations that become abandoned when pressured by woody expansion.
