The piercing blue eyes of a #snowleopard in China. Snow leopards are crepuscular (most active during dusk and dawn) cats whose eyes shimmer during the hours of the night. Is this the most beautiful #SelfieSunday we've ever posted in support of wildlife conservation?

Environmental Destruction by current government involving Rajapakshas. It took 3 days to complete the 60 feet long mural. Environmentalists, Artists and nature lovers created this amazing mural in #GotaGoGama to express their remonstrance towards environment #GotaGoHome2022

With a delicious #bushmeat curry in front of you it’s easy to forget what else went into
the making of that meal. Not only the boar or deer but a whole array of other wild and
sometimes #Endangered species that die as bycatch in #snares everyday.

It has been proven that the noise, and a resemblance to aerial predators, cause great anxiety to these birds, If they leave, they will never come again, a high price to pay so that the privileged few from Colombo can get their kick #bird #ethicalphotography

Indian porcupines are about the 7th largest rodent in the world, though weight sampling could reveal them to be 6th or more … Seen in pairs or singly at night. Quite common in semi wilderness and destroyed as pests. Huge female and cub observed this evening. ~18kg

Say NO to bushmeat! Check out @smallcatadvo’s social media campaign to educate the public on the adverse effects of consuming wildlife and how the indiscriminate nature of snares is putting wildlife populations at risk!

The #leopard was captured the previous day near a village in the #Zakho area, in northern Iraq near the border with #Turkey. Local officials say that the animal was injured by a trap placed after local villagers complained of attacks on sheep and two persons.

Tiger brought from Corbett to Rajaji rips off collar and escapes its range.
Relocation is disturbing for cats with homing instincts - and Rajaji is being eaten at by railway lines, forest cutting (Thano) and highway. Hope the tiger can survive us. eastmojo.com/national/2021/0…
