A Warning: This may not be appropriate for kiddos!
Hey Nature Nerds! This week Jen shares some science news about Galapagos Tortoises, then Megan talks Hyenas (or Hyaenas, if that floats your boat)! We hope you have a couple of laughs, but not the scary kind!
Organization to support: African Wildlife Foundation

Wildlife species roam across a mosaic of vast and varied landscapes, that include protected areas, community, private and public lands. These large landscapes provide habitat for wildlife and vital ecosystem services that support rural development.
By working across large landscapes that span borders, African Wildlife Foundation supports critically important biodiversity and offers people economic opportunities. With over five decades of experience, skills, and expertise, we have invested in community-based conservation to protect safe havens for wildlife while simultaneously improving human well-being.
