@MoveTheWorldUS African Grey Parrots belong in the wild, not in cages for our entertainment.

[Mongabay @mongabay]

Ants are central to life on Earth. Their microscopic world may seem foreign to us, but without them our world would be just as unrecognizable. Now, a recent study estimates just how many ants are all around us: a staggering 20 quadrillion.

This is what suffering looks like. 😔⠀
⠀
In the wild, African Gray Parrots fly several miles a day. When kept as pets, they are held in small, confined spaces that lead to the plucking of their feathers due to stress and boredom. 💔

[Save The Asian Elephants @stae_elephants]

Asian elephant numbers are barely 40,000, the majority clinging on in India. Abuse in tourism, poaching and habitat loss are to blame. Exploitation of these gentle giants in parades and “festivals” abounds, promoted by thousands of UK travel companies.

@RHeusequin @Amini16 @IccnRdc @ConservC @WCPZambia Unfortunately poverty is an important factor. Often, greedy traffickers/poachers, for little money, get help from locals, mostly youth that have no jobs, no hopes and many needs.

These local youth accept such a risky activity as they have no other viable livelihood prospects

[TRAFFIC @TRAFFIC_WLTrade]

The latest update to the @IUCNRedList reveals that 20 of the world’s 54 #abalone species are now threatened with #extinction. Its popularity as a delicacy in Asian markets has driven severe levels of overexploitation and illegal trade.

@Amini16 @IccnRdc @ConservC @WCPZambia Do not blame it on poverty, this is greed! #StopTheElephantHolocaust

[Population Matters @PopnMatters]

Today is #EarthOvershootDay - we've already used up all the natural resources the Earth can renew in a year. This means that from today, we would need another planet to sustain our consumption habits without destroying nature. #MoveTheDate

Tinier whales threaten the species’ survival because smaller whales do not have as many offspring. https://t.co/nAXQ6mRSq6
