"The chief cause for the impending collapse of the world - the cause sufficient in and by itself - is the enormous growth of the human population: the human flood. The worst enemy of life is too much life: the excess of human life." ― Pentti Linkola #overshoot pic via boredpanda

The world's largest and most spectacular looking #pigeon is the Victoria crowned pigeon of #Papua. They are declining due to #palmoil and #hunting. Help them to survive and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife with your wallet! palmoildetectives.com/2024/05/12/vic… via @palmoildetect

"Never mention Population" – wrong! We *can* talk about population without racist tropes, without repeating falsehoods. *Not* talking about population in regards to #Overshoot is a bigger problem. Thank you Population Balance Nandita Bajaj and Rob Dietz resilience.org/stories/2024-0…

When was the last time you heard BBC CNN ITV CBS ABC talk about Palm Oil As a result talk about Palm Oil to most people and they stare at you and are totally clueless about Palm Oil and the destruction it has caused

Almost every land animal on earth is now a human (8 billion) or a farm animal waiting for slaughter (80 billion). The pets we keep almost outnumber all of the wild animals living in nature. Healthy humans need a healthy planet. There’s nothing natural about the ecosystem that

BREAKING:  fury and disgust as mass media remain silent despite scientists confirming cataclysmic global warming of 1.7-2°C by 2030-2050 is now unavoidable even in best-case emissions scenarios 🧵

A very special herd of elephants has taken up residence in New York City! In situ until 20 Oct, the herd of 100 sculptures includes two elephants representing their African elephant kin (& both based on orphans we've rescued & rewilded)! You will find Chaimu on 9th Avenue + W

"Is the planet's biosphere better off than it was 4 years ago? Are koalas better off? What about penquins, elephants, dolphins, crabs, bees? Is the Amazon better off? F&%king humans." (Prof Eliot Jacobson) #collapse

A special dust bath for a remarkable orphan baby rhino. When she's not using her stub nose to kickstart a spa session, Raha is becoming quite the adventurer: she sets the daily agenda by choosing her own path through the forest & is gradually becoming acquainted with the dung

I need to get off his site for the day. Remember that intact deserts are better than people.

Tom Breaks our hearts seeing such magnificent animals reduced to this … Polar bear habitats have shrunk drastically due to our warming earth, with populations estimated to decline one-third by 2050. 💔 🎥 @worldanimalprotectionus

Today’s reason, if one were needed, to despise humans even more.

This we only learned last night: Chancellor Rachel Reeves accepted £7,500 in donations for clothing but it was registered vaguely as “support” for her office. So much for the promised transparency Deputy PM Angela Rayner accepted clothes worth £3,550 declared confusingly as a

There should be fewer abortions, as a result of adequate provision of contraception and family planning education, but abortion should never be illegal, driving women to unqualified and unregulated sources. It is a matter of women's rights and choice.

Koala habitat is shrinking. Yes, an objective & bona fide scientific organisation would fearlessly name the major cause -population growth due to mass immigration. As well as mining, agriculture, renewable energy. But CSIRO is not a fearlessly objective scientific organisation.

Her tail just won’t stop wagging. She is obsessed with people and very friendly with all other dogs. It’s heart breaking to think of her alone and suffering but a lot has changed in 6 days. Her health is improving by the day (6/8)

2.5/3°C global warming 1.  species extinct: 30-60% 2. fully expected by majority of scientists in 34-68 years without economic system change 3. scientists say there's no evidence humans can survive 2.5°C 4. many scientists say humans won't survive 3°C Mass media? SILENT 🧵

The Biden administration has decided that this biologically rich area is a great place for an open-pit copper mine. This administration is plundering and destroying the Desert Southwest, while calling its policies “green.” (Galiuro Mountains. Southern Arizona.)

67 yrs ago, Laika was the 1st animal to orbit the Earth. She died in space. Alone, frightened. Laika was a stray, stolen from the streets of Moscow, chosen for her light-coloured coat (telegenic) and docility. A victim of human hubris + fantasies of omnipotence. RIP Laika.
