Each confiscated tusk represents an elephant that never survived, turning these displays into powerful symbols of both loss and the ongoing fight to protect wildlife from extinction.....

It’s #WorldAlbatrossDay! Which means we celebrate these phenomenal birds, but we also have to discuss the threats they face. Albatrosses are the most threatened group of birds in the world. They live a long time (67+ years!) and reproduce slowly (1 chick every 1-2 years once they mature, which can take 10 years from when they fledged), so it’s difficult for their populations to adapt to the accelerate environmental change that humans are causing. They can mistake plastic in the ocean for food. They scavenge from commercial fishing vessels, get hooked, and drown. They have the odds stacked against them but there are amazing people around the world fighting to protect them, to learn more about their lives so we can prevent their extinction.

#Repost from my Totally Awesome Vegan Conservationist friend... @sharkguardian_mel @download.ins --- Reposted from @sosgalapagos #Urgent 🔴Thresher Sharks Need Your Protection🔴 We are calling on the Government of Ecuador 🇪🇨 to protect the Pelagic Thresher (an endangered species) and Bigeye Thresher (a vulnerable species) before it is too late. In 2019, over 82,000 pelagic thresher sharks were landed as “bycatch” on the coast of Ecuador, pushing this species one step closer to extinction. Please sign our petition 📝 (link in bio), share our campaign and ask @ambienteec to enact stronger protection measures. We are joining this campaign through @pacificolibre and @marenostrum.fnd Sign the petition ➡️ link in @sharkguardian_mel bio 🌐: https://www.joinmnf.org/save-our-thresher-sharks/ #extinctionisforever #threshershark https://www.instagram.com/p/CLR94FiB1AQ/?igshid=4s8htmfvy13w

A massive thank you to @stolpergeist and to @cheetahtrout, both are amazing people and they deserve the best. They are always so supportive and amazing people that inspire me a lot!

“Destroying rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal.” - Edward O. Wilson This is so true! All the palm oil in the world is not worth the extinction of Orangutans, Pygmy Elephants, Proboscis Monkeys, Bornean and Javan Gibbons and all the other life that calls the Borneo Rainforest home. This same argument can be made for rainforests and species elsewhere in the world like the Amazon, The Central African rainforest, Madagascar, Sulawesi, Sumatra, Papua/New Guinea, and other places under threat. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. #DesignedByJeriRae from a stock photo from Pixabay via Typorama. #Quote #EdwardOWilson #Rainforest #Borneo #Orangutans #ExtinctionIsForever #SaveTheRainforest #BoycottPalmOil #RainforestHabitat #DesignedByJeriRae https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxqxlqBBNg/?igshid=1nsrkafbq8o1k
