Not a trending topic but just another straw on the file is im still randomly worried about israel being sanctioned by the EU.
Im not even going to argue against it in general Im just so fucking worried for what thats going to do to the conservation breeding efforts.
Why are zoos even included in that thing to begin with? You think a critically endangered species is going to just wait for humans to figure out their shit? We're fighting for viable genetic diversity here and those few individuals in an Israeli zoo fucking make a difference.
Of all things I can't believe Im losing sleep over human politics potentially cockblocking a leapord but here we are.
i love sharks <3333 not a special interest but rather forcefemming myself into hyper fixation <3333 also ban trawling cause fuck that shit <33333

Silly adopt time. These guys are based on some endangered species, and I think it would be super cool if you all went and searched how to help these guys and other endangered species <3 They're all $15 a piece, through paypal only! First come first serve of course <3 Just comment or DM me to claim! Adopt 1 - Guam Kingfisher - these guys are marked as critically endangered, and extinct in the wild. There's less than 200 of them left in the world. They became extinct in the wild because of the invasive brown tree snake! Adopt 2 - Sunda Tiger - also known as the Sumatran tiger. These guys are the smallest subspecies of tigers! They are marked as critically endangered, and there are less than 600 adults left in the wild. The biggest threats to the sunda tiger are habitat loss and poaching. Adopt 3 - Javan Rhino - these guys are marked as critically endangered, with less than 100 of them remaining in the world. The biggest threats to the javan rhinos are habitat loss, poaching and illegal trade, and disease. Adopt 4 - Saola - these guys are marked as critically endangered, with none held in captivity and an estimated 750 exist. Though it has only been documented in the wild four times by scientists since 1992. Their biggest threat is poaching. Ways to help endangered species - Educating yourself is always the first step! Visiting websites such as WWF (world wild life) allow you a glimpse into learning about each species. - Looking up how you can help your local wildlife is an easy step into conservation, as each state has its own diverse wildlife! This can range from native plants, bugs, birds, and more! - Advocating for conservation! An online presence can make the world of a difference for so many different organizations. Finding local ones to support and even ones for the other side of the planet! If you can't donate, spreading awareness helps just as much. Any help these animals can get is a step in the right direction <3
So, New Zealand is currently holding a vote for Bird of the Century, and local TV show host/madman John Oliver has launched a HUGE campaign to have the Pūteketeke elected as the winner. There are now billboards encouraging people to vote for the Pūteketeke all over the world, from India to France. He and his team even set up a little webpage for the occasion.
Being the easily-amused person I am, I of course went with the funny British man and put the Pūteketeke down as my number one choice. However, even if you don't want this particular bird to win, it's still worth it to look at the rest of the competitors. There's plenty to learn about New Zealand's native wildlife, and you might just find your perfect Bird of the Century champion if you browse around enough.
Voting closes at 5:00 p.m. NZDT on November 12th (about 26 hours from now as of typing), so if you want to participate, do it now!
