A force..a visionary, who's life's work has been devoted to truth & justice...truth being that human beings are animals & part of the natural world...& justice...that we have ethical, moral, now legally constructed obligations to protect it. #SirDavidAttenborough is a life force.

Several beings in need of my personal attention...Australia's fire-fighters get behind the koala awareness & protection. Australia without them...specifically koalas...is unimaginable to me. #Koalas #ConservationMatters 💚🙏

Heartbreaking scenes from California..ultra-extreme conditions have culminated in this wildfire event..just beyond tragic for people, environment & animals. I can only offer my heartfelt condolences to all who are suffering right now. Australia understands the pain. 😓🙏
WATCH: Heart-breaking footage of a deer running through Altadena as a wildfire burns over 10,000 acres in Los Angeless, California. #CaliforniaWildfire #LosAngelesWildfires

We sometimes encounter beings in our travels, whom make an impression on us, at the time, and afterwards...why? Is it that moment, a look, a feeling?...nothing spectacular, but just a moment...💚🙏

Meet the Lemon-scented sun orchid🍋 Its common name is fairly self-explanatory but its genus' scientific name carries a little extra zest, named "woman's hood," in reference to the centre of many of its species' flowers. Talk about a pocket full of sunshine!😉 📸R Sinclair/AWC

This baby elephant in Tesso Nilo National Park probably showing how he feels about humans. The Park in Sumatra is home to iconic and endangered wildlife and incredible biodiversity, but lost 87% of its primary forest cover between 2002 and 2022, mainly to oil palm plantations.
