#WorldWildlifeDay: Why is it important to #RecoverKeySpecies? It helps to think about the species we've failed, like the 4 pictured here. They were declared #extinct in the past 40 years—largely due to human activity.

We have to do better. https://t.co/m3uBNKUI9c

Today I learned that of the seven rodent species native to the Galapagos, only four remain. The other three, including the Indefatigable Galapagos Mouse pictured here, have gone #extinct in the last 100 years. https://t.co/vjco3QFcDy

🚨On Friday one of Denmark's best known writers, Carsten Jensen was arrested as part of @ExtinctionRDK @ExtinctionR_SV 🚨

Read the speech he made shortly before his arrest:

"If you think you can live the way you have always lived, you are wrong."

A beautiful & devastating look at one of my favorite things in my home state—

"Despite their fundamental role in the state’s tourism industry, Florida’s springs are at the center of a slow-motion environmental tragedy."

The resilient Olalla’s titi monkey is adapting to habitat fragmentation by changing its diet and activity.

Begonia eiromischa was declared #extinct in 2007. It grew in Malaysia, where its forest habitat was destroyed for agriculture & logging.

It's one of about 600 plant species declared extinct in the last 250 years. #FaceOfExtinction #ExtinctionRebellion

We share this one planet, our only home so we have to take better care of it. We must cultivate compassion not only for our fellow human beings, but also for the other animals, birds and insects with whom we share the world. Concern for others is necessary for our survival.

I stayed at a Kichwa-owned lodge in Ecuador and was so inspired by everyone's knowledge of & connection to the environment. Please read about this egregious violation of the communities' rights.

[Amazon Frontlines @AFrontlines]

Since April 2020 when the FIRST oil spill occurred, Kichwa communities along the Coca and Napo rivers have suffered severe environmental impacts. The State, @OCPEcuador and @EPPETROECUADOR were able to prevent this spill - but they failed. @LassoGuillermo
