It still makes me sad that I see mentions of Steve Irwin everywhere in animal circles, all the time, constantly, and yet almost never see anyone talk about Jeff Corwin. I know why Steve is so beloved, that dying early kinda boosted the whole hero thing, plus his family continuing his work, which keeps them in the spotlight and all.

But just!! Jeff started around the same time, I loved his original show even more at the time tbh, and he's still around and doing lots of conservation and education work!!! I just never see him brought up anywhere, or his TV shows or books or anything! And it's weird!

Anyway, I have finally been seeing a bit about him lately bc of this Jr Ranger Rick contest, which is so cool & little-me would have absolutely DIED over. I know a couple people with kids entered & I'm excited to see the outcome regardless of who wins!

The first in a series of animal themed art. I actually finished this one a while ago, but I haven’t had the chance to start on my next one because of school. All the animals in this series will be pulled straight from the IUCN Red List.

The Malayan Tapir (T. indicus) is listed as Endangered, with populations decreasing. It is the only tapir species to be found outside of South America, and also the largest known tapir species. They live in tropical areas of Southeast Asia and live for about 30 years. They suffer from a number of harmful effects such as habitat fragmentation and deforestation for the purpose of establishing palm oil plantations. They also fall victim to hunting and trapping.

The cultural dimension is key in conservation and should be integral part of conservation strategies

Clean Earth Fun Facts

It's December 27th, 🐼 National Visit the Zoo Day in the United States! The earliest type of zoo, the menagerie, dates as far back as 1500 BCE in Ancient Egypt. Egyptian Pharaohs and famous kings such as Alexander the Great, Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar, and Moctezuma also kept menageries. Menagerie ruins have also been found in China and throughout the ancient Roman Empire. 

The first modern zoo was built in 1793 in Paris. Soon other cities all over the world followed. By the 19th century, science and geography had joined religion as central pillars of society. People naturally desire to see exotic animals from all over the globe and study their anatomy and behavior. These early modern zoos were like museums of living animals kept in small display areas. 

Today's 2,800 zoos and zoological parks across the planet attempt to function as natural habitats for the species they house. They educate and entertain six million people each year, while also furthering scientific research and the conservation of species and their habitats. 

Zoos are necessary because they educate the community, provide an understanding of the interdependence of animals and their habitats, and conduct conservation programs of animals in the wild, including breeding programs designed to reintroduce endangered species back into their natural environments. Enjoy your visit today and every day! ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Wisconsin Nature Conservation Pop-Up Exhibit

It’s Pop-Up Days at the Golda Meir Library!

Stop in the American Geographical Society Library @agslibrary and the UWM Archives to see some really unique archival items and maps related to the history of Nature Conservation in Wisconsin.

Working for a better environment is not new. Tremendous efforts were made by people like Wilhelmine La Budde in the 1930s and Aroline Schmitt in the 1940s. The materials shown are an inspiring display. Keep in mind that you will see just a small part of much more extensive collections so if you get inspired and want to see more just ask.

The materials will be on display starting today April 24 through Friday, April 26 from 8am to 4:30pm. But if you can’t make it don’t worry, the UWM Archives are available to all during our walk-in hours, you just need to ask!

The Special Collections Department @uwmspeccoll will also be sharing materials during Pop-Up Days during their walk-in hours. They are recognizing Poetry Month and showing Poetry in Early and Special Editions with works you will be able to peruse and handle.

Maizey the corn snake has been with us for a couple of months and this was the first time I'd found her out and about instead of hiding under her newspaper. I think she's finally warming up to us.
