#SaveForests + #SaveCoralReefs

Following up on my post last night, I just want to remind you all that the orangutans are not the only species that need our attention, love and support.


The Sumatran tigers, the elephants and the rhinos are among the most critically endangered species on the planet. The tigers, especially. There are only 400 left in the forests of Sumatra.


And MOST IMPORTANTLY, saving species is not about taking them home, feeding them and cuddling them (try to cuddle an adult tiger, I dare you!) It's not even about putting them through a rehabilitation program. It's about SAVING THEIR HOMES.




The forest.


That's all that they need.




And saving forests is NOT about planting a million trees. It's about - first and foremost - preserving all the forests we have left.


And preserving forests that we have left is NOT about putting barb-wired fences around them, but about MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES in our everyday lives.


What we buy, what we eat, what we drink, how we travel, where we travel, what kind of lifestyle we choose - these are the simple everyday decision that will decide whether all the remaining trees in our forests can or cannot stand proud and tall for generations to come.


So do make the right choices. I don't need to elaborate further, because we all can google. :-)

LOST THERE, FELT HERE

when rainforests get slashed and burned

it releases tons of carbon into the air we breathe

it changes our climate

it hurts...

every bit of rainforest that gets ripped out over there

really hurts us over here
