The Amazon rainforest provides 20% of the world's oxygen. People are deliberately starting fires in effort to illegally deforest land for cattle ranching. President Bolsonaro is letting this slide!! #AmazonRainforest #PrayforAmazonas

Asiatic lions once ranged from Turkey to eastern India, but the rise of firearms quickly led to this species being hunted for sport. By the 1890’s only 50 of these lions remained. Today, this number has increased to 500, thanks to the tolerance of local people living near lions.

They always tell us the tools of mass surveillance are intended for use only against the faraway Other; the foreign enemy, the terrorist, the criminal. And then, just a few years later, we realize precisely the same system secretly surrounds us at home. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/a…

Wow. In 1985 I went to California specifically to look for a condor when only six were left in the wild (we saw two). Now the 1,000th chick has hatched since the recovery program began. THAT is the power of the Endangered Species Act! latimes.com/california/sto…

Give endangered jaguars legal rights, Argentina campaigners ask court. With fewer than 20 left in the South American country’s Gran Chaco forest – the big cats could be classed as a ‘non-human person’ #racingextinction #endangeredspecies theguardian.com/environment/20…

Live in or traveling to Hong Kong? Beware of shark fin soup! It's sometimes served as part of a package. Always ask.
