With that said, keep an eye on Journowl.com and head on over to a new organization that is dedicated to turning a declining population into a thriving population.

Wildlife advocate, conservationist and simply captivated by marine life. Currently working to complete a full life's circle...beginning with a love of wildlife biology opted instead for a degree in microbiology and molecular biology, became a research biologist, returned to school for a degree in environmental sciences/fisheries & wildlife biology, and as of today I am still on my journey...which I am glad to share!

CDFG Suppresses Conservation Measures for Burrowing Owls
A government cover-up. Policies established that cater to industry. A few officials pulling the strings. Millions of dollars at stake. And a lone report that trades hands under the cover of night exposing the plot. We have all seen fictionalized stories unfold at the movies...
