As a documentary filmmaker, I donated the use of my movies to several organizations for educational purposes and fundraising. Results include: more than 4K sea turtles rescued, more than 100K students reached (from 9 different countries), and funding research. I never made a dime. ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

You know, another subject that people are truly in the dark about is the laundering of imported small primates under the guise of biomedical research. There are thousands of monkeys brought in through the "backdoor" that end up sold, bred, or both for the pet trade

It truly is. Rule of Law, Due Process and measured debate won't end this. It's gone far beyond "just wait 'till the midterms"

It's a shooting war... in progress.

A piece I wrote about having a nature deprived childhood.
There donโ€™t seem to be enough articles about working class childhoods which were just a bit dull because you didnโ€™t get out much , and family members were not very enthusiastic.
But you did have picture books of stuffed birds.๐Ÿ˜Š

If long-tailed macaques are using a curb to rub seed pods against to get to the seeds inside, is it kinda like tool use?

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life whoโ€™s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takeiโ€™s โ€œThey Called Us Enemy.โ€ My oldest couldnโ€™t put it down.
