No. 157, Nov. 5, 2020

Hello Revelator readers,

At press time the presidential race of 2020 remains too close to call, but while we wait for those votes to be tallied, let's take a moment to step back and look at some big-picture environmental takeaways from election season.

Meanwhile, last week the Trump administration moved to remove protection from gray wolves.

The Supreme Court, now with an ultra-conservative bent, will soon hear four key environmental cases.

Looking to brighten your day a bit? Check out these environmental Instagram accounts for a dose of inspiration.

From the archives:

In addition to the election, earlier this week was One Health Day, promoting "the interconnection between people, animals, plants and their shared environment." We've done several videos about One Health, which you can find here.
