A starving, emaciated polar bear rummages through trash in search of food, picking up a piece of foam from a snow mobile seat and attempting to eat it. Filmed by Paul Nicklen, nature photographer and National Geographic contributor for nearly two decades, on Baffin Island off the coast of Northern Canada.

“This is what starvation looks like. The muscles atrophy. No energy. It’s a slow, painful death. When scientists say polar bears will be extinct in the next 100 years, I think of the global population of 25,000 bears dying in this manner. There is no band aid solution. There was no saving this individual bear. People think that we can put platforms in the ocean or we can feed the odd starving bear. The simple truth is this—if the Earth continues to warm, we will lose bears and entire polar ecosystems. This large male bear was not old, and he certainly died within hours or days of this moment. But there are solutions. We must reduce our carbon footprint, eat the right food, stop cutting down our forests, and begin putting the Earth—our home—first.”

And when it comes to eating the right food:

Meat consumption driving global species extinction

UN urges move to meat and dairy-free diet

UN’s report on environmental impact of animal agriculture

Animal waste causing ocean dead zones

60% of global bioversity loss due to meat based diets

Beef production linked to deforestation

Global meat production and consumption continue to rise

Animal agriculture water use unsustainable

Between 65% and 88% of the deforestation of the Amazon is due to cattle ranching

7 million pounds of excrement produced by animals raised for food in US per minute

Farm with 2,500 dairy cows produces same amount of waste as city of 411,000 people.

2.7 trillion marine animals pulled from oceans each yeah

For every 1 pound of fish caught up to 5 pounds of unintended marine species caught and discarded as by-kill

2 billion pounds of bycatch pet year

300,000 small whales, dolphins and porpoises caught in nets per year

Thousands of seals being shot to keep salmon industry going

A sandfall! This is amazing. What might be going on is when it rains in the desert the water isn’t absorbed quickly and mixes with the top layer of wet sand which can form moving sand rivers and waterfalls. (Source)
