🌿🚴‍♀️ "Get on your bike! It’s National Bike Month." “ "I am so lucky! I've seen so many beautiful places while riding my mountain bike. Whether it's Devil's Den Arkansas or the islands of Scotland, my favorite thing about mountain biking is getting into nature. And when you are really lucky you see wildlife - Birds, bears, elk, deer, even seals and porpoises. ” — Holly Haefele, Secretary of the C2S2 Board This May, we’re celebrating National Bike Month and the powerful ways time outdoors helps us reconnect with nature and care for the species we share it with. At C2S2, we’re working to protect those species—through science, collaboration, and a deep love for the natural world. 🌍💚 #NationalBikeMonth #ConservationInMotion #BiodiversityMatters #WildlifeConservation #getoutside 📸Holly Haefele (fb)

🫏 🌵 Did you know the Somali wild ass is basically the zebra’s cooler, desert-adapted cousin? They’re built for the harshest deserts, going without water for days and running up to 40 mph to escape predators. 🔴 They’re also critically endangered, with fewer than 1,000 left in the wild. That’s why species like the Somali wild ass are part of our Partnership for Species (PFS) program—connecting conservation centers and partners to give rare species a fighting chance. 📸 White Oak Conservation (fb)
