From 30,000 feet above (my last Blog)to 100 feet below or more...
the ugly things I have to shoot sometimes.

We are again at the end of the year, wow how fast this one past... but then not as fast then the disappearance of our animal species.

The species extinction rate has increased to one species a day.
Lets make the coming years more greener and protect our environment.
Think!
Mother planet is showing us the red warning light. Be careful, she is saying.
To take care of the planet is to take care of our own house.

Confiscated shark fins... eating the soup...yuk...
when the slurping stops... the killing will too.


Embryo shark... mother and child got killed... for?
Nothing!

An endangered animal or plant is a species that is considered in immediate danger of becoming extinct. Its population is very small and it needs active protection to survive. In many countries, hunting of endangered animals is not allowed. Neither is importation of their meat, fur, tusks, blubber, or other products.

Extinction has happened throughout history, but in modern times the rate has increased dramatically. There is a link between the increase in the extinction rate and the growth in human population. The worldwide human population was 1 billion in 1600, 1.5 billion 100 years ago, and is over 6 billion today. At the same time, the species extinction rate has increased to one species a day. If this continues, it will cause a dramatic drop in the diversity of life on our planet, which will most certainly have serious effects.
