Occasional reminder that thereโ€™s no, โ€œitโ€™s too late, its overโ€ for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesnโ€™t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Who shot the cheetah kittens? I remember having this thought fifteen years ago when visiting the Field Museum. I understood the rationale for taking specimens for science, but stillโ€”look at those little faces. Who could make specimens of them?

Turns out there's an answer. (CW: animal death) ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿงช

Sulphur-crested Cockatoo emerging from its treasured, thermally perfect nest hollow that literally took 100s of years to form. A reminder to fight the bull-dozing of large, old-growth trees. Did you know that 300โ€“400 species (10โ€“31% of all vertebrates) in Australia need hollows to survive?? #WildOz
