The Waorani people are one day away from saving half-a-million acres of forest from oil drilling and they need our support. Link in bio to send a message to the Ecuadorian government: respect indigenous rights and protect the Amazon. @amazonfrontlines #WaoraniResistance #WeLoveTheEarth

#Regram #RG @nytimes: It’s “break-up” season in Alaska — the end of safe travel on ice. This year, break-up has come too soon, creating new, sometimes deadly hazards and a host of practical problems. Alaskans depend on hard-frozen winters for transportation, and people traveling on frozen rivers by ATV or snowmobile are falling through; some have died. “The river is our highway,” said Mark Leary, who’s part of a team that builds an ice road each winter. “It’s everything to us.” But climate change is warming #Alaska faster than any other state.

#Regram #RG @oneearth: Tapirs could be key in helping degraded #rainforests recover after destructive human use and may also help increase the amount of carbon that they hold, new research has found. Learn more about this via our partners at @Mongabay here: http://bit.ly/tapirmongabay.

The Earth needs our help. If we don’t make massive changes to our behavior over the next twelve years, the damage we’ve done to this planet will be irreversible.

#Regram #RG @iantmcallister: Highly intelligent, social and critical to maintaining ecosystem function for both flora and fauna, wolves continue to be managed as vermin by the BC government. Wolves like this coastal one have been found to be genetically distinct partly because they have evolved in an ocean influenced environment but also because they have not been persecuted to the extent that wolves across the rest of North America have. Imagine if every year someone came to planet earth and removed 30-50% of the human population - conservative estimates for wolf mortality where there are active cull and extermination programs occurring. It would not be long before we saw the loss of language groups, races, skin colour - we would become a homogeneous species lacking cultural and genetic diversity. Unfortunately, government wildlife managers do not recognize the importance of genetic diversity with wolves and as each evolutionary significant population is killed through hunting, trapping and other cull programs an irreplaceable living part of this planet is lost forever.

#Regram #RG @unenvironment: Populations of Asian pangolins are estimated to have declined by up to 80% in the last 10 years. As they become harder to find, traders are increasingly moving to Africa to meet the growing demand. More than 50,000 killed pangolins have been discovered in 2 seizures one week apart. Pangolins, the world’s only scaly mammal, are solitary and nocturnal. They roll up into a ball when threatened - making them very easy for poachers to catch. In 10 years, over 1 million pangolins have been illegally taken from the wild due to demand in China \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf3 and Viet Nam . It is the most illegally trafficked mammal on the planet. Their meat is considered a delicacy, while their scales are used in traditional Chinese medicine as they are believed to treat a range of ailments from asthma to arthritis and difficulty with lactation. Double tap and share this with a friend to raise awareness and stop the demand for pangolin parts! ? Lisa Hywood #wildforlife

#Regram #RG @nrdc_org: Pebble Mine threatens Alaska’s pristine Bristol Bay—home to the world’s greatest wild salmon fishery. If fully developed, the massive proposed gold and copper mine could produce up to 10 billion tons of toxic waste. Even worse: That waste would then be held behind earthen dams in a region prone to big earthquakes. A big enough quake could send toxic sludge into the interconnected rivers and streams—contaminating the region’s prolific salmon runs.

#Regram #RG @grist: In case you missed it: The U.S. Senate confirmed David Bernhardt, a former oil lobbyist, as secretary of the Interior department on Thursday afternoon in a 56-41 vote. . . His work as a longtime lobbyist for the oil and gas industry has led to concerns about conflicts of interest. And as the head of the department, there is a high chance that Bernhardt will oversee businesses he once lobbied for. .
