Don't Let Go! With 45% of Marine Conservation Society beach cleans finding balloon litter in 2023 we still need to raise awareness and see policy action to bring this percentage down. We have run the Don't Let Go! campaign for years to help raise awareness of the danger to the environment from balloon and lantern releases and we have had some related success with single use plastic balloon sticks now being banned across the UK. However more action is still needed - at the moment over 100 councils across the UK are banning intentional releases but not every council and this doesn't cover land not owned or managed by Local Authorities - check to see if your council is on our list: https://lnkd.in/enNbjtf2 You can share our updated Position Statement with your council to drive change locally by asking them to ban balloon and lantern releases: https://lnkd.in/e9V3aM2P So remember - Don't Let Go! And help give our ocean a voice by raising awareness and asking for change.

This red-tailed hawk, like many of its species, hunts roadside grasses for voles, mice, and other prey. The unfortunate byproduct of this adopted niche behavior is that #birds occasionally get hit by passing traffic. They use powerline poles as perches and have a keen sense of sight to go with those talons. But when focused on #hunting, they pass low and sometimes get struck by cars or trucks. I've taken injured #hawks to rehabilitation centers. Most don't survive. #evolution sometimes plays games of chance with #wildlife, and the raw fact is that the birds most adept at avoiding #collisions will be the individuals that pass their #genes to the next #generation. Modern circumstances. Ancient truths.

Scorpions, Nature's Tiny Excavators Today, I came across a fascinating video that showcased the incredible strength and speed of a scorpion's legs. In the clip, the scorpion was rapidly clearing sand with its middle legs—an impressive display of its natural engineering! Scorpions use their legs for much more than just movement. These powerful appendages are designed to handle tough tasks like digging burrows, escaping predators, and hunting prey. Their ability to clear sand with such precision and speed highlights their resilience and adaptability in harsh environments. This reminds me how nature often provides ingenious solutions to challenging problems—sometimes in the most unexpected ways. #Scorpions #Wildlife #Adaptability #NatureIsAmazing #AnimalStrength #NaturalEngineering #WildlifeWonders #ResilienceInNature #InspirationFromNature

𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 🐺 💚𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐟 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 Wolves are known for their deep bonds with their mates, often forming lifelong partnerships. Over time, these pairs grow and develop together, supporting each other in hunting, raising pups, and defending their territory. Their relationship is built on mutual trust and cooperation, allowing them to adapt and thrive in their environment. 💚𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 : As they face challenges together, their connection strengthens, highlighting the importance of teamwork and loyalty in their survival. 🌲🐺 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 : The relationship between wolves and humans has evolved significantly over time. Historically, wolves were both feared and admired, but today, many people see them as symbols of wilderness and strength. Conservation efforts and research have fostered a deeper understanding of these animals, leading to increased respect and efforts to protect their natural habitats. 💚𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 :Wolves have also inspired various cultural and spiritual symbols, reflecting a profound connection between them and human societies. 🌍🐺💚🌲 #loyality #safety #wildlife #wolfpartnership

Now sure, you might see one of these short-legged furry fellas, say ‘aww’ and get into a cuddling mode but make no mistake! These are fearsome creatures who may appear adorable and docile but can fight back when provoked. Apart from being adorable but fierce fighters, badgers are also extremely important for the ecosystem and play an important role. 🦡🦡 The eclectic badger can be found all across the United Kingdom — with most of them being in south England. In North America, they live in the Great Plains region. Most badgers are members of the weasel family, Mustelidae, and mainly live in areas that are a mix of woodland and open country in a network of underground burrows and tunnels called ‘setts.’ American badgers are powerful and mostly nocturnal animals that capture their prey by rapid digging. Usually solitary, they feed mainly on rodents, ground squirrels, pocket gophers, mice, and voles. Other prey includes insects, reptiles, and eggs of ground-nesting birds. ⁉: Did you know? The den of an American badger can be as deep as ten feet, with more than 30 feet of tunnels along with a large area for sleeping. #NationalBadgerDay #BadgerDay #ZempelInsurance #LakeMillsWI #LakeMillsOffice #LakeMillsInsurance #StateFarm #BadgerState #BadgerAwareness #WildlifeProtection #BadgerHabitat

How much can one photo tell a story? This great blue heron pic says quite a bit. First, the bird is sitting above a #wetland where water levels had returned after a period of years when levels were low, and little #wildlife was around. Large cottonwood #trees died when their roots were submerged and #woodpeckers drilled holes in the trunks, which you can see in this photo. Dozens of dead trees rife with such holes now provide nesting cavities for #woodducks #swallows and other species, including #starlings. Flocks of #birds attract apex #predator species such as #coopershawk and #kestrel, #redtailedhawk and #greathornedowl. This #heron fishes for #frogs in the #swamp and #marsh, and even hunts #mice and #voles on nearby uplands. #Muskrat and #mink, #weasels and #snakes all live here too. Regal on its perch in the morning sunlight, the heron symbolizes a healthy #environment and vital #habitat for dozens of living things including #turtles, #salamander and #dragonflies, #bats and #gulls, #terns and #ducks, #geese of four kinds and #swans, #eagle, #osprey and #kingfisher too. All because the #wetland wasn't drained and #insects thrive and drive the #foodchain. Photo ©ChristopherCudworth 2024

#hunting #fishing #sport #enculturation #mindset #ethos #exploitation #speciesism #anthropocentrism #killing #cultureofdeath #interconnectedness #biophilia #life #love #reverenceforlife #loveofJesus My dear friends, humanity continues in its lethal (and utterly unwarranted) fallacy that we possess some right to exploit God's other creation, to subject that creation to untold suffering, pain, and ultimate slaughter for three of the basest purposes; namely, our diversion, our gluttony, and our avarice. This is so clearly manifested in a proclamation to commemorate a day next week as National Hunting and Fishing Day, an occasion to laud, well, you can read for yourselves: "Outdoor recreation (sic) isn’t just a pastime or tradition, it’s an important part of our state’s economy,” said [state official]. “Hunting, fishing and shooting sports (sic) create jobs for thousands of [residents]. When folks take part in these activities they are creating a more prosperous future for us all.” Well, not for all! This ethos of sanctioned killing must be supplanted by one of ingrained nurturing. We must supersede our arrogant attitude of unbridled domination to one of incessant stewardship. That is the goal of my first book, and I proffer you yet again a snippet from the introduction: "Now to the task at hand. Our passages, prayers, and arguments will touch on the varied and many forms of harm and degradation inflicted upon animals. I will address (as if it really needed such clarity) why such harm is bad and in which human activities the harm is most injurious. I will argue and seek to demonstrate that a reverence for life, admittedly imperfect as it is, constitutes the best hope and brightest aspiration for human thought and action as regards all other life on this fragile planet. It’s my overriding wish that every reader will be persuaded of the usefulness and efficacy of a reverence for life, that every reader will sign and commit to the ethics set forth in the pledge at the end of Part 1, that every reader will wish to continue on the journey to the more practical aspects of a reverence for life, and most importantly, that every reader will become a zealous proselyte and proselytizer for that ethos of all consuming loving kindness." Cum meo maximo amore!
