#Repost from the Awesome Conservationist and friend... @paulhiltonphoto @download.ins --- It’s not someone else’s responsibility to protect the natural world, it’s everybody’s. We all have to stand up for the trees, the waterways, our oceans, the wildlife, the ecosystems. Yes, we all have to get uncomfortable, because nothing going to change unless we change it. Our governments have let us all down. The Amazon is being bulldozed as I write this caption, Australia’s is cutting so many trees down for livestock, illegal logging is taking out all the old growth trees, in the Congo. Industrial fishing fleets are steeling all the fish, before they can reproduce. Wildlife is being extracted out of the last wild places, for the zoo, pet, theme park trade, with them new viruses will come. I could go on and on. It’s time people to really start speaking out. What happens on the other side of world, effects all of us. Every living species on planet earth feels this. I know you do. Let’s get busy 🌍. @racingextinction #starteith1thing #lovetheleuser #cutconflictpalmoil #earthtreeimages #outtherewithpaulhilton #kalamundaofficial # https://www.instagram.com/p/COpmNE9Jyga/?igshid=v87patvku4hl

Since 1987 , the trust has raised and returned more than 150 elephants to the wild, most of whom lost their mothers to ivory poachers. I really hope Indonesia adopts their rehabilitation model to save the last of the Sumatran elephants of the Leuser Ecosystem. @haka_sumatra @leuserconservationforum @bksdaaceh #lovetheleuser #cutconflictpalmoil #theforgottenelephants #earthtreeimages #photographersagainstwildlifecrime (at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAOXnknhRlE/?igshid=zns0iz9lvtpw

So all we can do right now is look for alternatives, until the palm oil industry improves its deforestation policies. I don’t think we can live without palm oil, but I’d like to see the industry go through some huge reforms. One impressive company that I’ve recently come across that has been Certified Palm Oil Free, eco- friendly is @grinnatural They are a all natural Oral Care brand out of New Zealand, and support @orangutanalliance and certified by. Remember every time you purchase anything , it’s like a vote to support that industry and believe me each and everyone of us can make a difference, one day at a time.

#Repost @paulhiltonphoto @download.ins --- Really now this! SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus behind the COVID-19 pandemic, got its start in a still unidentified animal source before making its hop into humans. Now, as the outbreak continues to grow, experts are beginning to worry that the virus may be poised to make yet another devastating cross-species jump into some of our closest living relatives, including gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees. Already threatened by rampant habitat destruction, poaching and other illnesses, these and other great ape species could be further imperiled by the new virus, which swept across the global human population, sickening hundreds of thousands—and likely more—in a matter of weeks. Though no non-human primates have yet been diagnosed with COVID-19, a team of researchers has put out an impassioned plea for enhanced protections for our kin to forestall such a crisis, Damian Carrington reports for the Guardian. #lovetheleuser #cutconflictpalmoil #theforgottenelephants #outtherewithpaulhilton #earthtreeimages https://www.instagram.com/p/B-VdsiXB5vM/?igshid=7gczpfcpl9ca

Save The Orangutans - Save The Rainforest 🦧🌳🦧🌴🦧🌳🦧🌴🦧🌳🦧🌴 This is an example of why orangutans need protection and lots of rainforest to live in. Continue reading after the credits... • This is a #Repost from Racing Extinction ・・・ Shame on us. 😢💔 Please pray for Hope the orangutan. #RepostPlus Paul Hilton Photographer - - - - - - Orangutan ‘Hope’, shot 74 times with an air rifle undergoes surgery to fix broken collar bone. Dr Ian Singleton, Director of the @Socp.official commented that “The fact that so many people are still wandering around with air rifles and shooting at wildlife is a major problem for conservation in Indonesia. Despite yesterday’s surgery, Hope’s condition is still very serious and the vet team still have a lot of hard work to do if she’s to survive her ordeal. Its always extremely sad to come across cases like this one, but what’s most depressing is the fact that she is not the first to be shot so many times like this. We’ve had several orangutans arrive over the years, still alive but riddled with air rifle pellets. Its hard to comprehend that in 2019 there are still people out there capable of doing this to such and incredible and non-threatening creature like an orangutan, in such a brutal way. Dr. Ir. Hotmauli Sianturi, M.Sc,@bksda Sumatra stated “Orangutans are a protected species under Indonesian law. Its strictly forbidden to kill, catch, keep, injure or trade an orangutan with fines for doing so up to USD 7,000 and prison term #cutconflictpalmoil #lovetheleuser #racingextinction #theforgottenelephants #Oranutans #🦧#SaveTheRainforest #SaveTheOrangutans https://www.instagram.com/p/B95mJ3tAvfc/?igshid=xil7o01pqrgz

Credit © 🎞 🖋 ✅ @paulhiltonphoto Please read caption./Kimbely Why are we still cutting down trees in 2020? Brazil? Australia? Indonesia the lists goes on. Why is everything so hard? I ask myself every day. How did we get here? “For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfil themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree. When a tree is cut down and reveals its naked death-wound to the sun, one can read its whole history in the luminous, inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured. And every young farmboy knows that the hardest and noblest wood has the narrowest rings, that high on the mountains and in continuing danger the most indestructible, the strongest, the ideal trees grow. Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life. ― Herman Hesse, Bäume.
