Let’s save the wildlife – Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) – Myrela

The world’s sea turtles are under serious pressure as a result of human impact, with poaching, pollution, habitat loss and climate change all taking a heavy toll. In December 2023, however, a team of conservationists in Cambodia uncovered nine green and hawksbill turtle nests along the coastline of a remote offshore island, after almost a decade of searching. The discovery of hundreds of eggs offers renewed hope for Cambodia’s threatened sea turtle populations and, as the year unfolds, it is hoped that further nests will be discovered.

This should be yet another warning to The Global Majority. Overturning the 1964 Civil Rights Act has always been the primary goal of the white nationalists. Overturn that, and they can 100% reinstitute ways that curtail our vote and every other civil right.

When we say they’re coming for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, it’s b/c of cases like this. What does the world look like when white racists can ban you from their stores, schools, banks, hospitals, etc? They’ve been planning this longer than they planned to kill Roe. So get ready.

The law was put in place to protect former slaves from discrimination. Edward Blum, an opponent of affirmative action, has argued its text means that race can’t be considered at all in contractual relationships. Private funding blocked by the courts. NOT TAX DOLLARS.

Let’s save the wildlife – Eastern lowland gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri) – Myrela

Eastern lowland gorillas, also known as Grauer’s gorillas, are found only in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and are critically endangered, threatened by increased contact with humans. Of the four sub-species of gorilla, all of which live in equatorial Africa, the eastern lowland gorilla is the largest. It’s estimated that there are just 6,800 individuals living in DRC’s Kahuzi-Biega and Maiko National Parks. In 2023, for the first time, Fauna & Flora captured footage of lowland gorillas in the community forests bordering Maiko National Park, where locally-led biomonitoring patrols are helping to monitor and protect them.
