A pair of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in Manitoba, Canada.
by Sean Crane
We are fucking up this planet beyond belief and killing everything on it.
Polar bears feeding at a garbage dump near the village of Belushya Guba, on the remote Russian northern Novaya Zemlya archipelago, a tightly controlled military area where a village declared a state of emergency in February after dozens of bears were seen entering homes and public buildings. Scientists say conflicts with ice-dependant polar bears will increase in the future due to Arctic ice melting and a rise of human presence in the areas.

Fuck this is a sad photo.
Someone posted a photo like this a few weeks back, one of the bears had a straight up used needle in its arm. It was so bizarre and sad.
Comment:
The other day I was rinsing out my tub with bleach and I was a little sad. Where’s the bleach going? What animal does it hurt? Looking into the thousands of cleaners out there when really how many do we need? We talk about capitalism and profits but at what point is too much? How many people do we really need in the world? Why are we so dependent on plastic for everything? Where’s our reusable glass products? It’s frustrating not to have enough answers and solutions.
(Answer: Use white vinegar to disinfect and baking soda to scrub. Natural and breaks down quickly and gentle on animals.)

Really close friend of mine that I grew up with, talked about how she wanted to be a marine biologist since we were kids. She did everything right, became a master diver and researcher at a top university. She started doing research with professors in exotic locations. When she came home and we talked each trip she looked more and more depressed about shit. She started talking about how fucking devastated the oceans already are right now and how bleak the future looks for all ocean habitats, especially the ones she was studying. She got so disillusioned she changed her major and stopped diving entirely. Something she loved so deeply for 2 decades. She switched to doing normal biology research projects. It was hard to see that look in her eyes when she’d talk about it. It was like she had ptsd from it seeing the utter devastation of something she loves so deeply.
She would go into detail about the collapse and it was tough to see the pain she clearly felt seeing it first hand.

I can’t imagine the pain of having grown up with the splendor of nature, especially as an indigenous Hawai’ian and seeing it all corrode away in such a short time. It breaks my heart
Comment:
My first ever trip to the islands was in ‘92 to Kauai. I remember lagoons brimming with the different variety of fish and sea life. I went back for the first time since in 2017 and was astonished how much it was different from what I remembered. I almost feel like it was my younger self’s imagination in play during my first visit…
Comment:
My family had a beach house in an tiny island between PR and VI. During the 80s the color and variety were great. Then my family sold the house around 1991. I went back in 2010 and snorkeled my old areas that I used to know very well. I couldn’t recognize it at all. All bleached or totally dead. Hardly any fish variety.

I went on vacation to Cozumel several years ago and there’s this weird beach/lagoon area that’s some kind of national reserve. (The lagoon is full of gators and nobody is certain how the heck they even got there because they aren’t a native species) On the beach at the reserve after you walk past the light house there’s a bar and I asked the bartender(and owner) what it was like growing up on the island while I snacked on some fresh conch ceviche.
He said that as a child the sea was so thick with lobster they would roll in with the tide and you could pick them off the beach for dinner. That there were so many fish in the bay you didn’t need to bother swimming the half mile to the coral reef further out and there were nesting turtles every other week.
I dunno if it was hyperbole but just asking him the question made him pretty dang upset. I had never seen a reef before and thought what I got to see with all the barracudas and puffers and parrot and rando-fish was amazing but I really wish I had been able to experience what this man saw during his childhood.
When I hear stories like this I really worry that my children are going to miss out on what the world was like before we fucked it all up.
Comment:
I’ve lived in Florida almost my entire life. Fishing used to be plentiful, water clean and wildlife everywhere. Now the fish are drastically reduced, water full of algae blooms and red tide, manatees and sea life washed up dead on the beaches. It’s tragic and I’ve watched it happen. I’m not even that old and it’s happened before my eyes.
Comment:
I boat in the pacific. It’s pretty bad. You can’t go even maybe a few hundred feet without seeing a balloon floating.
I don’t know how many times i’ve had to jump out and pull balloons and water bottles out from my impeller or plastic bags and other trash.

Penguin
BY NICHOLAS HESS
Huddling etiquette is a survival skill all young emperor penguins must learn. Instead of waiting their turn to reach the warm center, impatient chicks will often jump right in. “It’s just a big mess,” photographer Stefan Christmann says. “But a really cute mess.”

When it comes to parenting images, animal dads are often overshadowed by doting moms. But some males sit on eggs, feed their young, and carry kids on their back. Male emperor penguins (one shown above at Snow Hill Island in Antartica) produce crop milk, which they feed to their chicks by regurgitating it from a pouch located in their throats.
