Protect Amboseli #Elephants! please s/s this petition to help ban trophy #hunt imports into the #US. The #US is the primary importer of #Tanzanian #elephant trophies. And at least one of the 5 male #elephants recently lost was killed by a #Texas #hunter! act.biologicaldiversity.org/Q4q8aqcqzESI7n…

#Blondie, a well-known, collared pride male #lion in #Zimbabwe’s #Hwange area, has been trophy #hunted after being lured into a #hunting area with bait in what many are calling a deeply unethical #hunt africageographic.com/stories/trophy…

It's #RhinoFriday, let’s get horny!🦏😉 Every #rhino in this video has their horn a rare & beautiful sight in today’s world. May this become the norm again. A future where #rhinos can roam whole, without fear. Where the killing stops & horns stay on #rhinos, not on black markets!
Don’t let facilities fool you. Captive breeding of lions and other predators has nothing to do with conservation. #betheirvoice
This says it all! While the world scrolls by #rhinos r being gunned down for their horns! They’ve survived for > 50M years. Now, they’re vanishing! This isn’t just a #conservation issue. It’s a war for survival & silence is complicity! If we lose them, we lose part of ourselves.

A mother’s love… a calf’s trust… a bond as old as time. This is what we are fighting for. But in a world scarred by #poaching, even this most sacred connection can be cruelly broken. Every #rhino life saved protects not just one, but generations. Let’s give them a future.....

Wildlife crime = Organized crime. A Congolese diplomat + 2 others caught with 206kg of cocaine in Bulgaria en route to Turkey. Same routes used for ivory, pangolins, drugs , guns & humans. #DRC is a rising hub of transnational crime. We must connect the dots.
Are irradiated #rhinos the solution to stop #poaching? This method would be better at protecting #rhinos than dehorning them & stockpiling their horns to sell. This procedure will render the #rhino horn useless, essentially poisonous for human consumption - a win-win for #rhinos
