A few days ago the Department of Conservation released photos of two men shooting Black-billed gulls at their colony in Rotorua - a colony that hasn't managed to fledge chicks for some years now. These birds are critically endangered. They're unique to New Zealand. They have the unenviable title of the world's most endangered gull species. If they had been kākāpo, there would have been uproar. But no one seems to care much about our endemic seabirds. Why? They're just as endangered, and just as precious. ⠀ ⠀ #conservationphotography #seabirdstory #seabird #endangeredspecies #conservation #nzwildlife #nzbirds #yearofthebird #raw_birds #your_best_birds #birds_brilliance #birds_adored #extinction #wildlifecrime #nikonnz #conservationbiology #wildlifeconservation #seabirdscience #wildlife_photographer #birdstagram #aotearoa #newzealand #gull #birds #birdstagram #extinctionisforever https://www.instagram.com/p/Bttx3j2BNbM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1by4tu3avzkmj

Dr Jane Goodall meets 'Tears of the rhino' in support of the One Fight Unite 'Say No' poster campaign, saving endangered species. It's our responsibility, so let's unite against wildlife crime! With the loss of Sudan, yet another species gone from this world we need to step up our game. Extinction cannot be reversed.... Creating this painting was a turning point in my life. When Jane Goodall signed the poster I felt my rhino had found his voice. A voice so much more powerful than anything I alone could offer. The rhinos soul reached out and touched me in such a profound and powerful way. #rhino #conservation #wildlife #wildlifeart #wildlifecrime #passion #fineart #activists #myart #arte #endangeredspecies #endangered #extinction #extinctionisforever #africanwildlife #myart #mypassion #stop #sad #profound #arts #artist #artistsoninstagram #tears #save #onlinegallery #conservationist #onlineart #southwest #art #arte #followme (at Dunsborough, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BBJC-PZk1fr/?igshid=8ng8r9yniy52

Grupo que luta pela preservação de rinoceronte é outras espécies na África do Sul, a caça desses animais ainda é bem comum.... Queremos agradecer e reconhecer nossos veteranos dedicados por seu sacrifício de ficar longe de suas amadas famílias enquanto protegem rinocerontes em extinção na África do Sul. Por favor, ajude nossos veteranos a proteger a vida selvagem africana com uma doação. Mesmo $10 já ajudaria nesse longo caminho. (mas não há limite sobre o quão pouco ou o quanto você pode doar) para nos ajudar a proteger o rinoceronte e elefantes também. Ajude-nos a fazer o nosso mundo um lugar melhor. #Repost @vetpaw • • • • • This Thanksgiving Holiday we want to thank and acknowledge our dedicated veterans for their sacrifice - being away from their families and loved ones whilst protecting the innocent and endangered in South Africa is not easy. Please help our Veterans protect African wildlife with a donation. Even $10 would go a long way (but there is no limit on how little or how much you want to give) to helping us to protect rhino and elephant, whilst providing meaningful employment for US Veterans, allowing them to do the work we all wish we could do.
