“Further exacerbating the problem, the species only breeds once a year and hatches just one chick at a time. Since the females rely on the males for food, the poaching of the male is also a death sentence for the female and her chick. Although wealthy buyers in China drive the black market demand today, native people in Borneo have carved hornbill casques into intricate ornamental pieces for more than 2,000 years.”

Forever grateful that the Wallace’s Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) is a real living creature that exists on this earth at the same time as me.

give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime you destroy the oceans. in fact, according to a recent study published in the journal science, ocean life faces mass extinction.  

a team of scientists, in a groundbreaking analysis of data from hundreds of sources, have concluded that humans are on the verge of causing unprecedented damage to the oceans and the animals living in them.

“we may be sitting on a precipice of a major extinction event,” said douglas j. mccauley, an ecologist at the university of california, santa barbara, and an author of the new research. 

the study notes, for example, that bottom trawlers scraping large nets across the sea floor have already affected 20 million square miles of ocean, turning parts of the continental shelf to rubble.

what he says: im fine

what he means: the panamanian golden frog is extinct in the wild. i watched a documentary about frogs and in between filming and post-production, the species went extinct in the wild. they had to put a fucking disclaimer about how oh, sorry, this frog is gone now. sorry for talking about it. and yet so many other frog and amphibian species are critically endangered and no one cares. does anyone care? is it just me? how can we be so heartless as to allow such a vast and important group of animals to just die due to their sensitivities to disease and human interference? it's just not fair and i feel completely helpless, so many species are going to go extinct in my lifetime and i feel like nothing i ever do is going to be enough to save them.

The Hawaiian #crow, or ‘alalā, is extinct in the wild. As we gear up to reintroduce the species, we’re learning that they’re highly skilled tool users and apparently, they don’t like to share. So much for the expression “bird brain.”

Palm oil is a type of edible vegetable oil that is derived from the palm fruit, grown on the African oil palm tree. Oil palms are originally from Western Africa, but can flourish wherever heat and rainfall are abundant. Today, palm oil is grown throughout Africa, Asia, North America, and South America, with 85% of all palm oil globally produced and exported from Indonesia and Malaysia; but most of the time not using sustainable measures.

The industry is linked to major issues such as deforestation, habitat degradation, climate change, animal cruelty and indigenous rights abuses in the countries where it is produced, as the land and forests must be cleared for the development of the oil palm plantations. According to the World Wildlife Fund, an area the equivalent size of 300 football fields of rainforest is cleared each hour to make way for palm oil production. This large-scale deforestation is pushing many species to extinction, and findings show that if nothing changes species like the orangutan could become extinct in the wild within the next 5-10 years, and Sumatran tigers less than 3 years. 

In total, 50 million tons of palm oil is produced annually, supplying over 30% of the world’s vegetable oil production. This single vegetable oil is found in approximately 40-50% of household products in countries such as United States, Canada, Australia and England. Palm oil can be present in a wide variety of products, including baked goods, confectionery, shampoo, cosmetics, cleaning agents, washing detergents and toothpaste.

Remember, food and beverage containers manufactured ONLY from plastic can be recycled, but make sure to empty out and rinse them before throwing into the recycling bin. This applies to all other plastics too. Irresponsible contamination from food and other non-recyclables affect the ENTIRE bin, wasting everyone's efforts. Don't be that person. . . .
