Study: Most Marine Parks Are Not Protecting Wildlife https://lnkd.in/exZ4uZAk

Want to know how you can protect wildlife and your fur babies? Here are some tips that can help!

Our claim to being the ‘clever’ or ‘lucky’ country rings hollow when we still continue to degrade and destroy natural habitat and ecosystems on such a massive scale, and push more and more species closer to extinction. The buck squarely stops with us. Habitat ‘loss’ it isn’t - this descriptor carries the subtext that it just happens. Natural habitat is not a set of keys one may lose. The unequivocal reality is that habitat is degraded, fragmented, and destroyed by the choices we make. Failing to act decisively now to arrest the destruction and extinctions is nothing short of intergenerational selfishness and wanton irresponsibility. Stepping up and ‘owning’ our responsibility is key. As it in our power through big choices and small, it is equally in our power to stop the rampant destruction, protect native species of fauna and flora, and support ecosystem health and function. Pretending that the health of our environment and ecosystem balance is separate to our own wellbeing is a most ludicrous and destuctive fallacy. #IntergenerationalResponsibility #onehealth Dr Kate Dutton-Regester James Watson Tania Bishop Stephen Van Mil Emily Hatfield Annika Reynolds Emma Hakansson Alix Livingstone Environmental Justice Australia Environmental Defenders Office Jacquie Pohl Jacqueline Pinard, B.B.A. Wendy Cox

Please stay away from the Seals and keep your dogs & children on their leads around any wildlife! If you want a closer look at any wildlife, get binoculars! A few weeks ago, I witnessed three jet skiers, all of an age that should have known better, landing near a large group of seals. The seals fled to the water, scared to try to reach safety from these idiots! We tried shouting at the jet skiers, but they continued to drive around dangerously fast and scared the local wildlife. It made me incredibly sad we couldn't stop them from scaring the Seals & their pups. Isn't it time we banned jet skis? They are always poorly driven, regularly endanger swimmers, especially in anchorages, scare wildlife, are hugely antisocial, and burn vast amounts of carbon. In a world of limited resources, we don't need jet skis! If you want to enjoy the water & wildlife - get a paddleboard and keep your distance! Scaring and chasing any animal, whatever your age, is not cool! #Seals #Sustainability #Respect

Encounters with wildlife can be a thrilling and unforgettable experience, but it's important to remember that wild animals are just that – wild! It's crucial to approach these situations with caution and take steps to protect yourself and the animal! 🦇 Here are some tips for safely handling encounters with wildlife... 👉 Stay calm and still: If you come across a wild animal, resist the urge to run or make sudden movements. Instead, stay calm and still. This will help prevent the animal from feeling threatened and potentially attacking. 👉 Give the animal space: It's important to give the animal plenty of space and avoid getting too close. Remember, wild animals are unpredictable and may feel threatened if they perceive you as a threat. 👉 Make noise: If you're hiking or walking in an area where wildlife is common, it's a good idea to make noise as you walk. This will alert animals to your presence and give them a chance to move away. 👉 Stay in your vehicle: If you come across a wild animal while driving, it's best to stay in your vehicle. 👉 Don't feed the animals: Feeding wild animals can be dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. It can cause them to become habituated to humans and potentially aggressive. #furbusters #mchenrycountyil #lakecountyil #southernwisconsin #wildliferemoval

Did you know that 881 animal species have gone extinct since the year 1500? (Source:Reuters). Every year we hear how a new animal species faces the threat of extinction and a huge chunk of why it happens is due to human greed. Activities such as hunting, poaching and illegal logging pose serious threats to animals around the world. Clearing off land which is supposed to be their home, hunting them for fur and other parts to make fashion items - all of this to satisfy human greed at the cost of animal lives. Let's be more aware of the threats faced by our animals and let us do our part to ensure all species have a place they can call home. #ClearSkiesForAll #taknakjerebu #transboundaryhaze #airpollution #cleanairisahumanright #righttocleanair #hazefreemalaysia #cerahasia #animalextinction #animalrights
