Albuquerque’s last hope for a rare butterfly

One tiny caterpillar in Albuquerque might be the last of its kind—the endangered Checkerspot Butterfly, once a common sight in New Mexico’s Sacramento Mountains. Habitat loss and climate change have nearly wiped out both the butterfly and its only food source, the New Mexico Penstemon flower. Now, local researchers are pinning their hopes on this single survivor, which has already outlived expectations. It’s a powerful reminder of how close we are to losing unique species forever. What do you think—should more resources go toward saving local wildlife before it’s too late? #Science #Albuquerque #CheckerspotButterfly

Albuquerque’s record-breaking shelter outreach

This winter, Albuquerque Community Safety teams are seeing more people than ever needing a warm place to stay overnight. In just one December, they helped over 1,200 people—including families with kids—find shelter from the cold, nearly doubling last year’s numbers. What’s different? ACS is now going out to known hot spots, not just waiting for calls, making it easier for folks without phones to get help. It’s not just about a ride—it’s about connecting people to the right support, whether that’s long-term shelter or other services. How do you think our city can keep building on this momentum? #Safety #Albuquerque #CommunitySafety

Why Albuquerque needs real investigative journalism

From the effectiveness of “free” childcare and education programs to why our economic and social stats lag behind neighboring states, there’s no shortage of tough questions that deserve answers. What stories do you think the Journal should tackle first? Let’s talk about what real accountability looks like for New Mexico. #Safety #Albuquerque #InvestigativeJournalism
