Boycott @Danone's dairy products! Their #palmoil is so-called "sustainable" from #RSPO yet it still causes #deforestation

@sanderturnhout Wonderful article, thank you, if lost a bit in my phone translation, but the last sentence says it all: "In this way, the portraits of the dodos show that nature restoration is not only about saving a species, but rather about restoring the relationship between people and nature. And that is urgently needed to prevent us from following the path of the dodo ourselves." #extinction #habitatloss #climatechange #pollution #nature
How do you boycott the endless #greed of large food companies causing massive #extinction
and human #health damage? Go #palmoilfree and boycott Colgate, #Unilever, #Pepsi, Ferrero and others. Fight back and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

Attempts to bring back species from extinction by using DNA is just another way to manipulate animals' genes for further exploitation.

De-Extinction, Jurassic Park’s...
The massive glacial flow in Blatten is a good metaphor, I guess.
"We had been aware of cracks, of pressure; we knew it was serious enough to prepare, but no one expected *this*. Yet in retrospect we should have. Huh."
And someone has to find a new shelter someplace "safer", and look after the kids, and make food on a temporary stove, and deal with paperwork.
And in a superdiverse alpine landscape, a thousand ledges and outcrops and gullies with gentians and mosses and evanescent bulbs...are gone.
But the company that conveniently sold and delivered that stove, and the company that makes diesel diggers rooting through the rubble, and the company that sold cloud computing services to the geological survey department, and the tourist airlines worried about a drop in revenue, and the insurance brokers...they adjust their business practices to deal with any temporary effect on future economic growth and then just market all the harder.
"In retrospect we should have. Huh."
सर्वं दु:खम्। सर्वमनित्यम् । सर्वमनात्मकम् ।
Les espèces migratrices n'échappent pas à l'extinction de masse. Pollution, changement climatique, perte d'habitat, chasse : presqu'un quart d'entre elles sont menacées d'extinction à court terme.

My recommendation if you search for #studies: "BioTIME 2.0 - the largest #biodiversity time-series #database - now spans 12 million records from 553,000 locations, tracking #ecosystem changes since 1874!" https://www.idiv.de/major-update-to-biotime-2-0-worlds-largest-biodiversity-time-series-database/

Two big events shaped the #herbivores during 60 million years but their role remains
- well, until humans started #hunting them to #extinction and replacing them with cattle.
The stunning #GreatOto or #Glasswing #Butterfly flits around #SouthAmerica with almost transparent wings to protect from predators. Yet they face #extinction from #deforestation

«Aujourd’hui, un cétacé sur quatre reste menacé d’extinction»
Alors que la troisième conférence des Nations unies sur l’océan aura lieu à Nice du 9 au 13 juin, la secrétaire exécutive de la Commission baleinière internationale, Martha Rojas Urrego, alerte sur les «nouvelles menaces» causant une forte mortalité chez de nombreuses populations de cétacés.

This elusive possum was thought to be extinct outside Victoria. Now ecologists have made an ‘amazing’ discovery
Leadbeater’s possum spotted in NSW at Kosciuszko national park, at least 250km away from the nearest sighting in Victoria
