National Wildlife Refuge Association Releases 2018 Annual Report

On this day in 1960, President Eisenhower established both the Arctic National Wildlife Range (now known as the Arctic National #WildlifeRefuge) & the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge. Happy Birthday to Arctic & Izembek - Crown Jewels of the National Wildlife Refuge System!🎉🎂 pic.twitter.com/GEe0nCpNFP

Come to Midway Atoll or James Campbell #wildliferefuges in #Hawaii or Merritt Island NWR in #Florida to see green #seaturtles. These guys are also #endangered, mostly because people build houses near their beaches or catch them in nets. pic.twitter.com/2uH66jCZQO

@NatureGirlTech @PARCorg @GASeaTurtles @turtletweets @UCFTurtleLab @TaskForceTurtle @USFWS @CenterForBioDiv @drmichellelarue @Ehmee @sciencewithtyus Hawksbill sea #turtles like to live near the Pacific Ocean #wildliferefuges and #marinemonuments. Their head and jaws are shaped like a beak so they can reach into #coralreefs for food. These mama turtles don’t lay eggs until they’re 20-50 years old! pic.twitter.com/BKuvnBkoFl

@NatureGirlTech @PARCorg @GASeaTurtles @turtletweets @UCFTurtleLab @TaskForceTurtle @USFWS @CenterForBioDiv @drmichellelarue @Ehmee @sciencewithtyus Jack, can we tell you about Kemp’s ridley sea turtles? It’s one of the smallest #seaturtles, and lives in the Gulf of Mexico, like Aransas NWR. Can your mom show you where that is on a map? #Kempsridleys are #endangered, which means there aren’t a lot of them still around pic.twitter.com/Ad9oQkdLSZ

@NatureGirlTech @PARCorg @GASeaTurtles @turtletweets @UCFTurtleLab @TaskForceTurtle @USFWS @CenterForBioDiv @drmichellelarue @Ehmee @sciencewithtyus And Jack, if you want to see a leatherback sea turtle, head over to Sandy Point NWR in the US #VirginIslands- that’s where the largest #wildliferefuge nesting population of sea turtles lives. Scientists have been tagging turtles there since 1977 (that’s a long time!). pic.twitter.com/wDjn22aYzq
