Hey guys! Check out this infographic I made about some of the facts surrounding the issue of elephant poaching within ivory trading. #39canimals #ivorytrade

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

This is so heartbreaking. Apes should not be subject to such mistreatment for the sake of our well-beings. #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

Habitat loss for many species is due to the expanding settlements and infrastructure from growing human populations. #39canimals

[Christine Nguyen @christinekn]

Of the problems chimpanzees face, habitat loss degradation poses the greatest threat.

The loss of matriarchs can devastate elephant herds and disrupt a group's social bearings. #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

Crazy statistic. I was never aware of the consequences of dog overpopulation. Very informative infographic as well. #39canimals

[Antonia Piercey @antonia_39c]

"Since humans still breed dogs uncontrollably and are occasionally irresponsible owners, they continue to be the perpetrators of the dog overpopulation problem that has caused '8.3 million animals [to be] sheltered and 5.7 million euthanized' in the US every year."

Wow! That's a lot of teeth. I can't imagine how painful an infection of that caliber would feel like. #39canimals

[Kimberly Salazar @kimvsal]

"Dolphins have about 72 to 104 teeth therefore, the dental infection must have been severe and painful for the dolphin to lose 100 teeth." #39canimals https://t.co/UpASVcMadc

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

Environmental awareness is a big indicator of species intelligence. Dolphins seem to act perceptively according to their surroundings. #39canimals

[Kimberly Salazar @kimvsal]

"Dolphins are aware of this change of environment and when they do not recognize their surroundings, this explains why their reactions affect their behavior." #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

It breaks my heart to hear this ): The animal food industry is no joke. #39canimals

[Edelweiss QIn @EdelweissQin]

#39canimals After cat been capture Restaurant would only killed cat that is over 2kg, if the cat is too small, they would feed them in cage until it’s big enough for slaughter.

Wow! This is amazing! The holograms evoke a great awe-factor that doesn't threaten an elephant's well-being. What a great alternative! #39canimals

[Jhanavi @Jhanavi50940078]

Circus Roncalli has become famous for being the first circus to use holograms instead of using wild animals in their acts, and they have received positive responses and plenty of attention from around the world. #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

Good to see technological advancements playing a huge role in species conservation efforts! #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

This is a legitimate problem. Conflicts between elephants and humans can lead to gunfire/retaliation methods that threaten human and elephant livelihood. #39canimals

[de @aiia_e]

"Forest elephants are listed as critically endangered species under IUCN, their main threat of survival is human-elephant conflict which is the competition of elephants and humans for the savaging of food, and habitat proprietary entitlement..."#39canimals

[Global Sanctuary for Elephants @GlobalElephants]

Things continue to shift in both Brazil and Argentina as a result of Covid restrictions and safety regulations, but we're doing everything we can to keep our trainers and elephants cared for. Ready more on the blog: https://t.co/UMXFhYe5tE

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

Worth a watch!

[Emily Bray @DrEmilyBray]

Out now in @CurrentBiology, the culmination of 4 yrs of work w/ 375 puppies, exploring the developmental + genetic basis of dog social cognition! Proud of this research w/ the best team @g_gnanadesikan @DanielHorschler @bskennedyvet @EvanMacLean @canineorg

To refrain from supporting these organizations we must collectively take a pledge to "stand against marine parks" like Kimberly mentions here. #39canimals

[Kimberly Salazar @kimvsal]

"Standing against marine parks is one of the most important and most effective solutions because the people that visit these locations are allowing these businesses to remain open by giving them sufficient funds." #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

Definitely this. Raising awareness and educating the masses on these matters is the first step in global conservation efforts. #39canimals

[HaotianZhang @Haotian91763770]

"Conservation education campaigns can reduce demand for the species and lead to a positive change of deeply rooted hunting cultures in the US #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

This is a serious problem! Strict regulations should be put in place to minimize the act of "trophy hunting" #39canimals

[Anthony Wen @AnthonyWen7]

"Trophy hunting significantly reduces the lion population because when trophy hunters shoot and kill the male lion of a pride, the lion population is almost never only reduced by one(Beverly Joubert)." #39canimals https://t.co/DanxscVPME

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

Humans are so quick to judge any species that aren't of their kind. We should be more open-minded in discussions concerning animal intelligence including that of pigeons! #39canimals

[Vivian Pham @wr_39c]

Pigeons are assigned to negative connotations such as disease, filth, and infestation; traits that are present in all animals including humans, when really they should be known for being extremely complex animals. #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

The statistics are crazy! The severity of this issue should give rise to more urgency in stopping the "ivory frenzy" #39canimals

[de @aiia_e]

"The frenzy for ivory has diminished the elephant population from 26 million elephants in the 1800s to less than 500,000 elephants standing today (National Geographic Society). More elephants are being poached than there are birthed, depicted by Figure 1" #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

The ivory market profits off of demand for tusks. According to Tsavo Trust, “the illegal wildlife trade, including ivory, is said to be worth between $10-20 billion annually and, by volume, is the second largest illegal trade in the world.” #39canimals https://t.co/kOAXCeoLqK

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

Craig Millar states that “elephants cannot protect themselves against a concentrated effort to poach them. No matter what they do, firearms and poachers win every time.” It is our responsibility to make an effort to help #savethelephants ! #39canimals

[jeannie lee @jeannieylee]

Donate to programs! The largest susceptible elephant populations are within “developing third world nations that do not have the massive amount of resources needed to effectively fund conservation efforts.” Therefore they need our help through funding and donations. #39canimals
