#biodiversitydecline — Public Fediverse posts

Nesting season for Diamondback Terrapins, which are often seen wandering the footpaths at the Marine Nature Study Area (NY), sometimes trying to dig nests on the footpaths. These are the only North American turtles that inhabit brackish waters, although they can tolerate both fresh water and full salt water. While their range is extensive -- the Atlantic and Gulf coasts -- it is limited to a narrow coastal strip, which is seriously affected by capitalogenic habitat loss (especially coastal development and sea-level rise). The IUCN lists them as Vulnerable.
