Image by @jim_abernethy // Is this a happy Great White Shark? Look at that smile! Great White Shark trip info at bottom of the post! Hope to see you with GWS's soon! “While most of the world is consumed by the fear of being eaten by a shark, the truth is that sharks don't really eat people...the truth is, it is MAN eating sharks needlessly into extinction! The truth is in the statistics! Humans go in the water 8 billion times a year and from that 85 people are mistakenly bitten by a shark and less that 5 on average die from these mistakes...that are most commonly referred to as shark attacks. If even 1 of over 500 species of sharks preyed on man, we would not be able to swim in the ocean at all! Here is a comparison of some of the more dangerous animals in the US, of course saving the best for last! Dogs bite someone every 40 seconds resulting in 4 to 5 million bites and 16 to 20 deaths yearly. Cows kill 20 people yearly. Deer kill an average of 135 people yearly. 1600 people are attacked and bitten every single year in the state of New York by People! Humans are responsible for killing between 73 million to 250 million sharks every year mostly for just their fins! Let's end this needless slaughter and save our friends in the sea! Interested in seeing Great White Sharks up close at the very best location worldwide, Guadelupe Mexico? Join me September 15 -20th, 2021, for an incredible Great White Shark trip! You do not have to be scuba certified for this experience! DM me if your interested in more details and I'll send them thru email! Hope to see you there!

#Repost @nowandgen with @get_repost ・・・ Watched in awe as orca whales danced along the water and played chase around our boat. Sadly, these beautiful creatures are in danger due to pollution that has depleted the salmon population, which they rely on for food. These experiences with my kiddos remind me that we must be stewards of the wild to protect our delicate ecosystem.

Posted @withrepost • @cristinamittermeier I have been lucky enough to experience the Amazon first hand and to spend time with some of the Indigenous people who call it home. People like the Kayapó have been stewards of the rainforest for centuries. Since Jair Bolsonaro was elected as President of Brazil last year, the Kayapó have been fighting to protect it from a president who has compared Indigenous communities to animals living in zoos and who has let industry cut down more of the rainforest this summer alone than in the last three years combined. Trees are cleared to plant soy or to make room for cattle pastures. Setting fires is one of the fastest ways to make space. Fires have raged in the rainforest for longer than two weeks, and the international media is only just waking up. This could be just the beginning of an even bigger tragedy if we don't come together today and start #turningthetide. The Amazonian rainforest is the source of 20% of all oxygen on earth and a priceless carbon sink that helps draw carbon dioxide out of the air to help us in our fight against the climate crisis. If you want to make an impact, donate to front-line initiatives working to defend the Amazon like the @kayapoproject and @junglekeepers. . . #savetheamazon #kayapó #native https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gQa9aCBu9/?igshid=us6l9u2mgoba

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 . . . @Regran_ed from @sea_legacy - Photo by @DaisyGilardini // In celebration of World Penguin Day! Emperor penguins are unique among penguins. Their breeding season begins in the Southern autumn (April), when the sea ice is strong enough for the colony to assemble. When the female lays her egg she passes it to her mate and leaves to feed on her own. She will remain at sea, foraging for food, until spring.The female will return in July, often to find a newly hatched chick. #turningthetide #penguin #climatechange #Antarctica #Emperor #penguin - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/Boeye-1HSpN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17mlq4gi2dsm3

Please support banding death nets in California. Repost from @paulnicklen...Warning: Graphic content. Documenting the California drift net fishery was an emotional journey. This fishery has a staggering 65% bycatch rate which includes sharks, turtles, dolphins, and whales. Urge California state legislators to enact SB 1017 to transition California away from the use of harmful large-scale driftnets into environmentally conscious practices. Rob Stewart dedicated his life to championing safe and healthy oceans and we’re proud to carry on his legacy. Click the link in my bio to stand up with @sea_legacy to end this practice and continue helping us in #TurningTheTide.
