Luther and Sloane should of had a family in s4 both because i think Luther and Sloane deserve happiness but also because it would have been a fun parallel to Diego and Lila.

Where Diego and Lila are struggling, Luther and Sloane are thriving. Diego's in a job he hates while Luther is, I don't know, a security guard at a zoo and loving it. Lila chases what her life used to be while Sloane is thrilled to give it all up to instead chase her dreams.

Diego gets to look at Luther and wonder what happened that he is doing the family guy thing with no issue but he's struggling. How does he seem to have it all.

This then would lead to them actually talking things out, Luther providing advice and sharing struggles that Diego didn't get to see. Sibling bonding on a neutral ground - how can i be a better father? how can I still be myself while in this role?

1. Zoo hails birth of 'one of world's rarest animals'

“[Jasper] the Persian onager was born to mum Azita after a year-long pregnancy. […] Conservationists at the zoo said there are less than 600 surviving wild onagers[, … which] only survive in two small, protected areas in Iran, a Chester Zoo spokesman said. […] Mike Jordan, animal and plant director at Chester Zoo, […] said Jasper is "doing very well" and added that "mum Azita is doing a fantastic job of nurturing and bonding with her new charge". "He’s full of energy and enjoys playfully kicking up sand as he races around his habitat", Mr Jordan added.”

2. Charity creates 50 community orchards in city

“Community orchards are returning to Birmingham, with the aim of teaching people how to grow their own food and be part of the solution to climate change. […] Once established, the long-term aim is to distribute the produce to those most in need, but local people are also invited to pick the odd bit of fruit. […] By planting trees and plants and encouraging biodiversity back to these areas the charity is also doing its bit to help climate change. They even use locally sourced wood chip which helps to put carbon back into the soil. […T]he hope is that these edible landscapes can also be enjoyed by local people for years to come.”

3. Farmer-led badger vaccination could revolutionize mission to tackle bovine TB

“[… T]he results of a four-year pilot badger vaccination program co-managed between farmers, scientists, and conservationists […] show the percentage of badgers testing positive for bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in the study area dropped from 16% to 0%[….] While most bTB incidents in cattle are caused by transmission between herds, transmission from wild badgers plays a role in the persistence of the disease. […] Blood sampling showed that the proportion of badgers with bTB fell even though overall badger numbers remained high[….]”

4. Every Colorado Anti-Trans Ballot Initiative Fails To Collect Enough Signatures

“Anti-transgender politics are becoming increasingly unpopular in polls. […] A recent LA Times/NORC poll found that 77% of voters believe elected officials use transgender debates to divert attention from more pressing issues. The poll also showed significant opposition to forced outing policies. […] A Gallup poll published in June revealed that while Americans have mixed views on the morality of transitioning, the majority oppose bans on gender-affirming care for trans youth. […] “The fact that they could not get enough signatures, barely half, to be placed on the ballot shows they lack support from everyday voters.”

5. In a fight to save a rare bird, Indigenous communities in Guyana are winning

“The partnership [between Indigenous communities and Smithsonian researchers] sparked a decades-long community-led conservation movement that has protected the red siskin and helped locals reconnect with nature. [… T]he South Rupununi Conservation Society […] established one of the country’s first conservation zones to protect the species, covering 75,000 hectares (185,000 acres) of Indigenous land. […] To plant the seeds of conservation, they’ve implemented an after-school program in more than 16 communities, [introducing children] to ecological research and surveying, and also [teaching] about Indigenous culture and tradition, including fire management skills.”

6. North Adams hospital gets federal designation which pays for health care in rural areas

“[The hospital] received a federal designation on Wednesday that is key to its long-term financial stability. […] The designation pays for staffing regardless of the number of patients[… and] “works to resolve stark inequities in rural and underserved communities as it relates to our nation’s health system."”

7. Andrea Vidaurre: Leading the clean transportation revolution

“Thanks to Vidaurre’s relentless advocacy and strong community support, these regulations introduced the first national standards for train emissions and set a groundbreaking goal for all freight trucks to be zero-emission by 2036. This initiative promises cleaner air for Californians and paves the way for a zero-emission vehicle future across the country. Studies predict these measures will prevent thousands of respiratory illnesses and save countless lives in the coming decades.”

8. Boston announces a new climate resilience office

“Through its Climate Ready Boston initiative, the city has worked to […] design creative adaptation plans with community input[, …] includ[ing] everything from redesigning waterfront parks and planting more trees, to modernizing the city’s underground sewer system[….] The Office of Climate Resilience will be in charge of coordinating work across city departments and with community groups[….]”

9. Combining Green Thumbs and Sustainable Fashion in a Swap Event

“This unique plant and clothing swap event in NSW is championing both environmental and fashion sustainability through native plants and preloved clothing. […] To participate in the plant swap, attendees brought their environmental weeds in a bag to the Council stall and exchanged them for free native plants. […] The event sparked valuable community conversations about the benefits of plant and clothes swaps, the impact of textile waste[, …] support a circular economy and combine a love for nature with practical, eco-friendly practices.”

10. Growing Green Spaces to Protect the Endangered Regent Parrot

“On Schools Tree Day, celebrated on 26 July, students from a local NSW school planted trees and shrubs to create crucial forage habitat for the endangered Regent Parrot, enhancing local biodiversity. […] Approximately 50 [… plants of] native species were chosen for their ecological benefits, helping to attract native birds, bees and butterflies while providing essential habitat and food. […] They [also] raise awareness about the regent parrot, encourage conservation efforts and emphasise the importance of protecting local wildlife. Additionally, conserving [the regent parrot] supports the health of their ecosystem by helping with in [sic] seed dispersal and maintaining plant diversity.”

Day 27: JOMPBPC: Rainbow Books 🌈

I love Moo Deng, so here's a helpful reddit thread about her care, the zoo, and her primary keeper:

https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/1fo58c5/is_anyone_else_kinda_worried_about_moo_deng/

excerpts:

"TLDR: She’s man-handled only 1-2 hours a day by an expert who has been taking care of hippos for 8 years."

"Also, this isn’t the keeper’s first hippo, he took care of many before (8 years, 10 hippos IIRC from an interview), including the mother, which is why the mother isn’t aggressive toward him. I’ll believe his expertise over random tumbler user any day."

Hey y'all! What are your favorite masks that have ear straps instead of around the head straps? I currently use my asthma mask (a cloth mask with a disposable filter) underneath a disposable mask, but I've got family visiting in a few months and I want a better mask to wear around them. I'm asking in advance so I have time to try different options and find the one that works best for me

in other Zoo Tycoon news - i am enjoying this every bit as much as I did in 2003 - now that I am an adult and Seasoned Gamer i notice what the guests are actually doing, not that it is all clear to me. like besides the specific instance of them ignoring Bigfoot and going crazy for the eels, it turns out if I had any of the marine animals, the guests all stampeded over there and didn't come NEAR my land animals. Which was of course causing me to lose money in most of my zoo and also just was unpleasant for the emptiness. Guess i could get around this by spreading out the marine exhibits, but that's a real dipshit way to lay out a zoo and i like my heavily themed biome zones marked off by the decorative walls and archways and whatnot

so i guess you dipshit guests just don't get ANY marine animals. or at least not until after the land zones are all built. i always have a problem getting guests out at all to the later-built areas, but this instance was just the rest of the park being ABANDONED so they could crowd the marine area. why are they programmed to do this, did the developers also have bad taste in zoos? I never played much with the marine animals and even less with the dinosaurs growing up because I think that shit's boring and i just want nice normie animals:(

sonoran-inspired zoo i've been working on.... this courtyard has all the staff buildings and a fairly private habitat for some oryxes (or is it just oryx?)

[apathyandmischief]

Every day, that's all I tell myself, just gotta get through the day. So tired, so burnt, so over it.

But just gotta get!!! Through!!! The day!!!! =)

grasslands dlc is 9.99 usd but for the low low price of 0.00 usd i can ignore the new dlc once bought and just build a raccoon exhibit solely for my guests to stand at it from the wrong side and complain about how they can’t see the raccoons
