Your one precious planet

A little behind the scenes tour of what my Friday looks like and the crazy progress happening everywhere at Happy Doggo. I wanted to make this video with no editing or planning just to show you what things are really like. With Rocky appearing at the end ❤️

Si, monsieur le Ministre. D’autres alternatives existent. Nous n’avons simplement pas fait le plus évident : Gérer nous-mêmes ce dossier ! 🇨🇦 Canada : Nous avions prévenu le Ministère dès le départ que ce projet n’était pas une option viable. 🇬🇷 Grèce : Le projet a été saboté par un lobbying intense de l’industrie de la captivité. 🇮🇹 Italie : Aucune place disponible pour accueillir les dauphins français. C’est précisément pour cette raison que nous ne l’avons jamais présenté comme une solution. 🇯🇵 🇺🇸 Japon / USA : Les spectacles et la reproduction commerciale y continuent. Et ce sera aussi le cas en Espagne, comme Loro Parque l’a toujours fait, même après avoir promis l’inverse. 🇫🇷Et quid de la FRANCE ? Sur notre propre littoral, ou ailleurs en Europe, c’était à la France de porter elle-même ce projet. La loi donnait 5 ans à l’État pour préparer des alternatives. RIEN n’a été fait ! L’inertie politique est responsable de cette situation. Une autre voie est encore possible. 🌊 Un sanctuaire marin en Europe. 🌊 Sans spectacles. 🌊 Sans reproduction. 🌊 Sans exploitation commerciale. Avec 180 000 km de littoral, l’Union européenne a les moyens de faire mieux que ça. Sea Shepherd France continuera à se battre pour empêcher ce transfert et offrir un avenir digne à Wikie, Keijo et aux dauphins du Marineland. ✍️ Prenez 2 minutes pour eux. 🔗 Signez la pétition : lareleveetlapeste.fr/petitions/non-…

Born Free is deeply disappointed by South Africa’s new Biodiversity Management Plan for Black & White Rhinoceroses, which signals plans to pursue trade in rhino horn. Policies that risk fuelling demand for ivory are a dangerous step backwards. Read more: bit.ly/3REg51K

I talk about the brain damage from COVID and the need to mask from a neuroinvasive biohazard every day. Where the fuck have you been?

Harrison Ford, "Humanity is a part of nature, not above it" "We have an essential mandate to protect 30% of the world's land and sea by 2030, to prevent the mass extinction, to slow the warming of our planet" "We are still losing nature to profiteering, corruption, conflict, including land that is already protected on paper. These efforts matter but they're not enough" "We need cultural change" "We need to extend social justice" "We need to respect and elevate the indigenous people that are being marginalized, and in many cases, killed in cold blood" "These communities have long understood that the trees, the mountains, water, soil, are not commodities, they are relatives to be cherished for following generations to embrace and protect" "We can all play our role in embracing that wisdom in our day to day lives by loving the planet" "By honouring nature's authority, her generosity, the bounty she affords us. The justice of her example" "Because the world you’re stepping into, the world my generation left you, is a real mess”

Minnesota pays residents to rip out their lawns and replace them with native wildflowers and pollinator habitat. Since 2019, nearly 10,000 projects have turned over 11 million square feet of ecologically barren turf into habitat across all 87 counties. Homeowners and renters can get up to $400 back. This is what it looks like when a state decides pollinators are actually worth protecting. Why isn't your state doing this?

If we switched to #renewableenergy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because they're just carrying coal & oil & gas!! buff.ly/dpTrSpO We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #climate #energy #GreenNewDeal

🚨 Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust. Called it a war crime. Said it is “not solving anything.” Then told Americans directly: call Congress. End this war. The same Pope Trump called weak on crime. The same Pope Trump fabricated a nuclear quote from. The same Pope whose brother received a bomb threat after Trump attacked him. The same Pope Speaker Johnson lectured on theology. 1.4 billion Catholics heard their leader call this war a crime.

Réduire nos dépendances, produire davantage en Europe, protéger nos concitoyens : l’agenda que j’ai porté à Versailles en 2022 se traduit en actes. L’accord trouvé par le Parlement européen et le Conseil de l’Union européenne sur les médicaments critiques est une avancée majeure pour réduire nos dépendances stratégiques et renforcer notre souveraineté sanitaire. Ce qu’il change : → Préférence européenne dans les achats publics avec obligation de favoriser le « fabriqué dans l’UE » à au moins 50% dans les marchés publics en cas de forte dépendance à un pays tiers. → Des projets stratégiques industriels pour stimuler les capacités de production en Europe. → Des marchés conjoints pour assurer la disponibilité et l’accès aux médicaments. On avance !

“French parking lots could soon generate as much electricity as 10 nuclear power plants” buff.ly/cb83Fus We have so many solutions. Stop the delays and implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #GreenNewDeal

I saw an add on tv last night Promoting the spraying and killing of Dandelions treated as a pest that must be removed No concern that Bees will be poisoned or that one of their main sources of food will be gone or even the health hazards for humans themselves

CLIMATE CHANGE HAS INHERENT DANGERS THAT OUR CHILDREN WILL INHERIT. #ClimateCrisis

More footage of the first documented cougar family in Minnesota in the past century. Volume up for the full experience. More to come soon! Our goal is to learn as much as we can about these cougars in the coming months. But we could really use some help covering costs associated with this research. For instance, we collected 9 scats at this kill and they are on their way to a lab for genetic analysis to try to get individual genetics and determine what western population the mom and dad originated from. Genetic samples cost ~$55-70 per sample, depending on the type and quality of the sample. Your support helps us cover costs like this, and gives us the ability and resources to study these individuals, and any others out there we might learn of. By donating at the link below, you directly support this research. Plus, the support helps us have the capacity to send in any samples we collect in the coming months.Once we have results, we will share with everyone! Notably, we also analyze the genetic samples from every adult wolf we collar, pup we tag, or dead wolf we come across. That work has been supported ENTIRELY by folks donating to our project, and the results have provided a wealth of information on wolf pack and population dynamics. And this work will only continue if generous folks continue to support our work. E.g., a $70 donation ensures we can get the genetics of a wolf. So please donate to our annual fundraiser to support our research, help us cover these costs, and keep this research going! Donate here: crowdfund.umn.edu/campaigns/VWP2…

🌳 Did you know that a single mature tree produces enough oxygen for 2 to 4 people every single day? Forests aren't just scenery; they are the world’s lungs. Without them, our basic survival is at risk. #Sustainability #EcoFacts

When you welcome an animal into your heart, they quickly become family. So when orphaned newborn hippo Bumpy couldn’t sleep, Keeper Simon did what any parent would do: he lay down beside him and welcomed Bumpy in for a cuddle in the crook of his arm. Minutes later, the little hippo was fast asleep. Thus passed our first night with Bumpy. Meet Bumpy: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/bumpy

Awesome footage of a wolf pack erupting in a howl on top of a frozen beaver lodge this past winter! You can hear the howls of the adults and the yipping of the pups, which sound kind of like coyotes. Literally, the only way we keep our 350-400 cameras going year round, capturing footage like this, is via donations. So, if you enjoy our trail camera footage, please donate to our annual fundraiser at the link below—we use these funds to purchase more trail cameras, buy batteries, SD cards, locks, mounts, etc. The trail cameras not only capture cool footage we can share but also provide us with invaluable data to study and understand pup survival, pack dynamics, and many other aspects of wolf ecology. You can support our work here: crowdfund.umn.edu/campaigns/VWP2…

It has been a huge pleasure to watch Rocky grow like this

Take these destroyers to court. What good are all our protections if they don’t protect?

#Birds What do you think about this? British-owned beef giant CPC has been granted a permit to poison and kill 20,000 native galahs and little corellas at one of their vast cattle stations in the NT, Australia. In its permit application, CPC admits its practices created the problem: “grain production, on-site storage, and cattle feeding have provided an artificial food source.” Ornithologist Dr Lilleyman was "shocked" to learn of the NT government's decision to grant the permit. She said that Birdlife Australia is concerned about the potential for secondary poisoning of non-target species occurring close to "an internationally significant wetland". CPC has ten cattle stations on about 9 million acres. They supply cattle and beef to Asian markets, domestic feedlots and processors, and export live cattle. The company is owned by Guy and Julia Hands through the Hands Family Office. They live in Guernsey after leaving England to avoid UK tax. CPC has also applied for massive water licenses for irrigation projects to grow grain sorghum and other crops which will inevitably attract even more birds. So what happens then? Even wider-scale poisoning of native wildlife?
