Happy Thursday everyone! Here’s an amazing shot reminding us of nature’s beauty 😍 📸 by @RoxyZoologist
As individuals, we can have great impact. If we want to reverse the climate crisis, we need many individuals coming together and making small changes to change the bigger picture.
Today is World Lion Day 🦁 Did you know that there are approximately 20,000 lions around today, yet their populations are still threatened by climate change, poaching and habitat loss? They are classed as vulnerable and are greatly affected by climate change.
Today’s IPCC report has worrying predictions for the future, including a temperature increase of 1.5C by 2040. It is clear that we won’t meet the Paris climate targets unless we cut carbon emissions and reach net zero.
Did you know that the Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered, with a population of 14,000? They are all almost entirely arboreal - they live among the trees of tropical rainforests and rarely travel on the ground. 📸 by bchphotography_ on instagram

If the government approves the Cambo oilfield plans, the impacts on the environment will be catastrophic. If we want to meet climate targets, the plans cannot go ahead. Follow the link to sign a petition to help #stopcambo. act.friendsoftheearth.uk/pet…
Did you know that coral reefs are home to about 25% of all the world’s marine life?🐠Over 4,000 different species of fish are dependent on coral reefs. They began forming about 240 million years ago, but most established coral reefs today are between 5,000 and 10,000 years old.

Nobody will escape the effects of climate change, so we all need to act now.

Did you know that climate change has resulted in an increase in animal hybridisation? Changes to landscapes forces animals to roam further and mate with different species, which threatens species and ecosystems. Whilst once sporadic and evolutionary, it has become more common.
