As someone that cares about the nature and wildlife in our country this administration is pure evil.
"Washington—Today, President Trump announced and signed two proclamations to dramatically shrink the boundaries of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments by nearly three million acres.
In 2017, the first Trump administration attempted to reduce both monuments’ boundaries in a move that was widely challenged in federal court."
This move is an attempt to unravel America’s legacy of conservation. For more than a century, Republican and Democratic presidents have used the Antiquities Act to protect lands with profound cultural, ecological, and historical significance from the Grand Canyon to the Statue of Liberty. These are the places we hold in trust for future generations. "

"For decades, the government defined harm broadly to include encroachments on places with threatened and endangered animals. The change announced Friday would allow oil and gas drilling, mining, logging and and other development on critical wildlife habitats so long as the animals themselves aren't killed or injured.
Environmentalists warned the move could cause some species to go extinct by opening the door to habitat destruction. Industry representatives and their Republican allies have long argued the landmark 1973 environmental law is wielded too broadly, to the detriment of economic growth."
I recently stumble a very interesting and educational website about every animal on our planet including those that are endangered or extinct so i sure hoped you will find this website very interesting if you want to learn more about certain animals.

Saola, meaning “spindle horns”, is a bovine that was listed as critically endangered by the IUCN Red List in 2015, and is believed to have less then a hundred individuals left, if any at all. They are often called the “Asian unicorn” because of their rumored gentleness and rare sightings. The saola was only first documented in 1992, when a skull was found in a hunter’s home. There are currently none in captivity, but when there was, they never lasted long due to stress and health complications, making any breeding programs difficult.
Saola are only found in the forests of the Annamite Mountains in Laos and Vietnam. Human encroachment into their habitat, especially from the construction of roads, cuts into their already little territory . Hunting is another big concern for them. Snares, even if not meant for saola, are often placed within the protected areas and can trap them as easily as any other creature unfortunate to come across them. There is also quite a bit of commercial hunting for saola because of their rarity.
You can donate to the Saola Foundation at https://www.saolafoundation.org/ to help save the Saola.
Thank you angel for this commission of a juvenile gharial!
Gharials loose their band marking as they age and mature, males growing a bump on the edge of their snouts.Gharials are going extinct due to sand mining, overfishing, gill nets, poaching, and pollution.
There are only 200-650 reproducing adults in the wild
The gharials are going extinct, only 200-650 reproducing adults in the wild.
Sand mining, overfishing, poaching and pollution is taking these majestic creatures away from us. These are the non aggressive(still don't provoke them!) Crocidilan. Their snouts are designed to eat fish, and little else!
विलुप्त जीवों की परिभाषा
विलुप्त जीवों से तात्पर्य उन जीवों से है जो अब पृथ्वी पर अस्तित्व में नहीं हैं। जब कोई प्रजाति, चाहे वह पौधा हो या जानवर, अपनी अंतिम शेष संख्या तक पहुँचती है और फिर पूरी तरह से समाप्त हो जाती है, उसे विलुप्त माना जाता है। यह प्रक्रिया धीरे-धीरे हो सकती है या अचानक भी हो सकती है, और इसके पीछे कई कारण होते हैं।
