I have been fortunate enough to have spent time with many different clouded leopards. And I have meet and worked with some incredible people who are working nonstop to save them from becoming extinct. Please follow and support the @ptdefiancezoo, @nashvillezoo and @smithsonianzoo. And you too can do something every day, right in your hometown... You see, #CloudedLeopards face many significant threats in the wild. Their native S.E. Asia habitat is experiencing large scale degradation due to logging and large scale agricultural areas, that includes massive palm oil plantations. Once logged and turned into agriculture/palm plantations, the habitat is gone and so are all of the animals that lived there. This is where you can make a difference. Be an informed consumer. Take the time to know what is in the products you buy. Support companies who decide not to use palm oil. Itโs not easy. Palm oil can be in lotion, shampoo, dish soap, ice cream, cookies and many other foods. Yes, it takes extra effort. But my clouded leopard buddies would appreciate it. As would the binturongs, orangutans and countless other species that need that habitat to survive. . . . . . #cloudedleopardday #internationalCloudedLeopardDay #cloudedleopars #caturday #bigcats #bigcatsofinstagram #instacat #wildlifeplanet #wildlifeconservation #palmoil #endangered (at San Diego, California)
