De eerste hommel in de tuin! Geen zorgen; het zijn biologische krokussen π
Zo diep triest...
Of the thousands of stepwells that have fallen into disrepair, only a small number have been restored for their original purpose: providing water for domestic and local use such as washing, cleaning and gardening; fewer still provide drinking water.
Zo jammer, maandag hadden vrijwilligers de paddenschermen weer neergezet maar ze vinden toch een weg er doorheen.

Vanochtend op weg naar Hoevelaken..... 10 hazen, 2 ooievaars, 1 fazant, 1 pimpelmezen inspectie van een nestkastje, 1 zwaan die over me heen zoefde zodat ik leuk zijn voeten kon zien, heel veel vogelgekwetter, 2 citroenvlinders en helaas ook de eerste overreden pad van dit seizoen...
The front of the head, including the forehead, eyes, nose, and tusks, was removed with a sharp weapon. The trunk was also detached.
Authorities suspect poachers cut away half the head to extract tusks exceeding one meter in length. #IllegalWildlifeTrade

During the late Holocene period climate changes, habitat loss, overhunting, and human activities caused rhinos to disappear from NW India.
NE India stayed more stable with less human pressure.
This allowed rhinos to migrate eastward and concentrate in Kaziranga, making it their last great refuge.
Snap heel goed dat je zo'n grappig kuiken gekocht hebt. Rare mensen hoor dat ze het niet gezellig vinden als jij langskomt...

Bushfires that ignited across Victoria in January have since torn through more than 435,000 hectares of land, as back-to-back heatwaves pushed fire danger to extremes, and caused thousands of flying foxes to perish in the worst mass mortality event since black summer.
Heel veel sterkte lieve Nienke en een aai voor Beau. xx
Snow is disappearing, so we manufacture it at enormous energy cost.
With diverted water.
On damaged soils.
To keep pretending the climate hasnβt changed.
The Winter Olympics are becoming a case study in denial.
Long-tailed macaques at export facility, Mauritius; Cruelty Free International
Hundreds of long-tailed #macaques - destined for testing labs - exported from #Mauritius endure a 28 hour transport ordeal to USA on #SkyTaxi. Stopping @JFKairport before final destination - #Miami @iflymia. This is a relentless and brutal trade in monkeys' lives.
Fake footage distorts public understanding of animal behavior, making dangerous encounters seem normal or portraying wildlife as greater threats than they really are.
Residents in Australia rescued a koala as wildfires raged through their farm in the state of Victoria. A record heatwave has sent temperatures soaring and fueled blazes in the country.
The dead gannet chicks are eaten as a local delicacy. It's so cruel and needless. We're in 2026, not the middle ages!
The rescue took place on January 28, 2026, along the DΓaz Ordaz-Entronque Sabancuy highway. Law enforcement officers from the National Guard, while conducting patrols, discovered the monkeys being transported in cramped conditions inside a cardboard box on a tricycle. #IllegalWildlifeTrade
