Vietnam largely guilty for Africa's disappearing, beloved pangolins. One of biggest shipments (180kg worth US$39m) of pangolin scales, used for "medicines," seized in Singapore en route to Vietnam in a container from Nigeria labeled "frozen beef." https://t.co/8nQzDotVQj

[BREAKING] We have gathered evidence of a network Twitter accounts which were established at the end of March and the beginning of April 2019, with the clear intent of creating fake news around the #AlexTotalShutDown.

These are just a small percentage of the accounts involved:

[wine thinker (robertjoseph on Bluesky) @robertjoseph]

I *so* agree with this

Too many members of the wine fraternity would much rather have lots of smaller producers struggling to make ends meet if it means not having to have the 'global brands' they despise

I just got on the wrong tube so I could spend some time with 10 Labrador pups who are on guide dog training. As London commutes go, it doesn’t get much better.

[WOSA South Africa @WOSA_ZA]

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be partnering up with @winecoza bringing you the good news, from the South African wine industry. We will share daily #WineforGood articles across our social media platforms. #WoSA

Ouch. @purplecowmobi

[john brand @johnbrand11]

I wonder if this beggar will be prosecuted for undercutting absent police officials during a blackout by agreeing to work for handouts below the minimum wage?

6 Adults and 3 toddlers and just over an hour. If each one spends just an hour each month picking up litter in their neighbourhood, we can win the battle! #GoodGreenDeeds @GovernmentZA

I've updated satellite photo of Africa's most visually-dramatic environmental disaster: the disappearance of Lake Chad. Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria now have much more landmass, at expense of the fishing industry, potable water, irrigation and several animal species.

Heartbreaking images of the 35 baby #elephants ripped from their family in holding pens in #Zimbabwe waiting for the journey to hell. Destined for #ChinaZoos as a way to allegedly pay off military debts to #China.

[The Bulk Wine Centre @WineBulk]

Roughly four weeks into harvest for most SA producers. Some areas the yields are lower than expected. Quality on the whites seems to be top notch so far! Still waiting on the reds.… https://t.co/DScHAKaqWn

Turkish Airlines transporting endangered African animals against international law and airline's own promises, reports World Animal Protection agency. Example: In August 2018, the airline flew rare DRC grey parrots from Kinshasa to Kuwait via Istanbul. 60 birds arrived dead.

Whale shark found dead with plastic bag obstructing gastrointestinal tract. #plasticpollutes #plastickills https://t.co/zL0Wj4pBzT

This is the true story of a child soldier’s incredible escape from armed forces in South Sudan.

[Neleen @nsnegronis]

Harmless little endangered, shy and defenceless animals. Like rhino horn and lion bones their scales are not going to help the nether regions. 😢

More than 27 tonnes of pangolins and their scales seized from traffickers in Malaysia

[WOSA South Africa @WOSA_ZA]

Who are we all seeing in Düsseldorf for the 25th @ProWein? #WoSA

[James Hall @hallaboutafrica]

All species of the adorable pangolin (4 species are African) now threatened with extinction. Their meat is a delicacy in China and Vietnam, and scales used for "medicines." Hong Kong customs officials seize a record 9 tons of scales, showing pangolin protections are ineffective.

Rwanda's car free days (up from one Sunday a month to 2 now) are both good for environment and Kigalians' health and spirits. Peeps using empty streets to exercise. Bicyclists can ride fast and safe from cars. https://t.co/1FPMrztYrV

Everything on Twitter is so serious and depressing these days... so really enjoyed this! 😂🤣🤣
