🌳 She sat in the branches not to escape the world, but to remember that the world’s oldest sanctuary has no walls. Protect the trees—they are the roots of our own peace.

If you've ever visited a national park, you know how precious, unique and magnificent that land is.

From coast to coast of this great nation, national parks give us a chance to witness and experience wildlife and nature as it should be, without oil wells, mines, destruction and human encroachment.

It's unacceptable for the current administration to defund and/or slash the important work the NPS is doing. It's a disgrace to the human race to destroy and pillage all this goodness.

Here are a few images from national parks that may never be seen again if this budget goes through.

Behind the ranger stand the remains of elephants killed for their ivory, a haunting reminder of the devastating impact of poaching across Africa.

In Kenya, anti-poaching rangers continue risking their lives to track illegal wildlife trafficking, protect endangered elephants, and preserve evidence from brutal killings that threaten entire ecosystems.

🌎This World Environment Day: A simple truth.

We don't own the Earth.

We're part of it.

Air pollution is a major contributor to the damage to the air we breathe. It also plays a major role in warming the Earth. When air is polluted, it often contains harmful gases and small particles emitted by vehicles 🚗, factories 🏭, coal, oil, and the burning of forests 🔥.

Many of these pollutants are called greenhouse gases. Important examples are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases accumulate in the atmosphere around our planet. Normally, sunlight ☀️ reaches the Earth and heats its surface. After the surface is heated, some of that heat is released back into space.

However, greenhouse gases act as a blanket around the Earth 🌍. They trap some of the heat that would normally escape. As more polluted air fills the atmosphere, the blanket thickens. This traps more heat in the atmosphere, causing the planet's temperature to gradually rise. This process is called global warming.

The main cause of this increase in greenhouse gases is human activity. Cars, planes ✈️, power plants ⚡ and industrial activities burn large amounts of fossil fuels. These activities release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air. Deforestation also contributes to this problem because trees 🌳 normally absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

As the Earth warms, many environmental changes occur. The ice on the polar regions and glaciers begins to melt 🧊. Sea levels rise 🌊, which can threaten coastal areas. The nature of the weather also changes, causing stronger storms ⛈️, heat waves 🌡️ and droughts in some parts of the world.
