Human actions have led to the deaths of more than 100,000 Bornean orangutans since 1999, mainly for crop protection, bushmeat or the illegal wildlife trade.

For the first time in 15 years, researchers surveyed residents of Kalimantan, the Indonesian section of Borneo, to find out why people kill the great apes and whether conservation projects help protect them.

Killings of Bornean orangutans could lead to their extinction

Only about 100,000 Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) remain, less than half of their original numbers.

A post I made on FB about my favorite animals led to a whole lot of people realizing that pink fairy armadillos are an actual thing, and it is delightful to watch 😆

I guess I'm now spreading the gospel of the pink fairy armadillo. They are real, y'all.

#armadillos #animals #nature #cute

Pink fairy armadillo. A small, tube-shaped creature with soft beige fur on the underside, and pink sectioned armor on its back. Small black beady eyes, tiny pink nose, large pink digging feet. The butt is flat, and serves as a plug when the armadillo burrows into a hole.

The media frenzy about shark bites is always over the top, given the very low risk, but this is a new one: the headline simply says "shark spotted near swimmers at Florida beach." In other words, the shark was swimming at home, bothering exactly no one. https://news.sky.com/video/shark-spotted-near-swimmers-at-florida-beach-12916154 #sharks #fish #animals #animalwelfare #animalrights

Shark spotted near swimmers at Florida beach

Footage taken by a beachgoer shows a shark swimming in shallow waters at Navarre Beach, Florida. Swimmers can be seen rushing to the shore but no one was injured.

Unacceptable. Public pressure DOES help, I really believe, and the octopuses deserve that from us. "The farm in Spain's Canary Islands would raise about a million octopuses annually for food, according to confidential documents seen by the BBC." https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-64814781 #octopus #cephalopod #Spain #animalwelfare #animalrights #plantbased #animals

Methods used on the Spanish farm would be "cruel" to such intelligent animals say experts, as details emerge.
