Today’s decision by the Supreme Court to overturn the Chevron doctrine will present challenges to preserving the many decades of progress we have made in protecting people and the planet. It will have major implications for implementing and enforcing laws related to such issues as air pollution, public lands management and endangered species protection. The decision impacts the ability of federal agencies to take the actions needed to successfully implement laws enacted by Congress. That is concerning, given the deep scientific expertise and practical experience they have in implementing and enforcing these laws, many which relate to complex and ambiguous issues. Read our full statement from Kameran Onley, TNC’s managing director of North American Policy and Government Relations:

Here's another article about TNC's new Mining the Sun report. The quickest way for Indiana to gain energy independence is to utilize unused sites—such as abandoned mines, brownfields or dumpsites—to develop solar and wind farms. https://nature.ly/4cwUZaS

Using existing degraded mine lands and brownfields to house solar projects can help Indiana meet its renewable energy goals and electricity demands without further harm to plant and animal habitats—a win-win for Hoosiers and our environment. TNC's Sean Mobley is interviewed in this Inside INdiana Business article about siting renewable energy. There's also a link to TNC's new Mining the Sun report. https://nature.ly/45wHHbY

And here's the print version from the Sunday Star! The Indianapolis Star article provides amazing pictures of our 100+ bison herd, happily grazing and improving the Efroymson Prairie at Kankakee Sands. More importantly, the herd is part of a buffalo restoration program led by our Indigenous partners. Read the article at https://lnkd.in/eep8ZMP4

TNC's new Mining the Sun report highlights the different areas around Indiana that are suitable for solar power, in terms of infrastructure, proximity to transmission, as well as not conflicting with nature or working agricultural and forestry lands. https://nature.ly/3wZM3vt

New research has shown that the climate is warming faster than migratory birds can keep up, and many of those long-distance migrants will struggle to survive because of it. But hope isn't lost, and we can all play a role in supporting the birds in our backyards. Read more from Cool Green Science: https://nature.ly/4aHgBjq
