US mining company Alcoa’s strip-mining of Western Australia’s jarrah forest under further investigation after “deliberate repeat breach” of environmental laws that destroyed habitat for protected species – including black cockatoos, quokkas & numbats https://t.co/Q9YUhc3xo6
Mass poisoning of tens of thousands of native birds — by a huge British corporation to boost its profits — shows that a mindset of colonialism persists.
Please god people will listen and take David Attenborough’s most important warnings seriously. He is not exaggerating. We are in the most unimaginable trouble.
No canopy, no food, no future.
They don’t survive this. Displaced, starving, or killed trying to return and with births every 6 to 9 years, they don’t recover.
It’s not just them. Wildlife disappears and ecosystems are stripped back to almost nothing.
They have destroyed her home and leave her to starve and die
Indonesia’s forests are more than 140 million years old—oldest tropical forests on earth
Since mid-1980s, only half of Borneo's forest cover remains, with an average loss of 1.3 million hectares (approx. 3.2 million acres) per year in some periods.
#Sloths
31 sloths have been found dead in the despicable Sloth World in Florida.
Two sloths were dead on arrival after one shipment from Peru. Eight sloths "appeared emaciated and in very poor health" — and later died, according to the report.
Florida wildlife officials discovered them after a routine and unannounced inspection. They say the sloths died from cold exposure and poor conditions.
Under Florida statutes, Sloth World had no obligation to report the deaths.
Sloth World should not exist. Sloths are uniquely unsuited to exposure to the stress of long transport and captivity.
Would people flock to visit if they knew of the extreme cruelty, starting with brutal capture from their forest home?
Cet appareil empêche les bébés de boire le lait de leur mère, uniquement pour que les humains puissent s'en emparer : l'industrie laitière brise le cœur des mères. 💔

An annual reminder: don’t spray spring dandelions with Roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and those chemicals can kill them all. 🌻
This device is called a "spiked muzzle." 😡
It's designed to be so painful for a mother #cow that she'll push her baby away to avoid the pain.
Only one of MANY examples in which casual cruelty is a routine part of nearly every aspect of animal agriculture today. 💔
Hundreds of dolphins washed ashore in Somalia, after Chinese fishing vessels used powerful SONAR to chase Tunas.
Chinese fishing vessels loitering illegally inside Somalia's waters, are causing huge environmental damage!
Oficialmente otra especie extinta, el rinoceronte blanco del norte de #África, el último macho murió y sólo quedan éstas dos hembras, la caza furtiva , la pérdida de su hábitat son las causas.
La principal plaga sigue siendo el ser humano 🛑

A new Florida animal attraction is importing wild sloths from South America. As dozens die, the business continues to acquire more.
