Biodiversity lost....

Biodiversity is a modern term which simply means " the variety of life on earth". 

Since I was a small child, losing biodiversity has been on my mind. The first campaign I started was not for the cute dolphin or the massive whale but for the ugly rhino. The poor thing is blind, big and yet manages to be sooooo bad-ass! 

How can you resist that combo? How can anyone kill it to grind its horn into a powder to us as an aphrodisiac --I mean if you are that repulsive to the opposite sex to do you really thing ground up toe nails are going to make you more potent? Believe me gentlemen...chocolate is cheaper, tastes a lot nicer and personally is going to make me feel more like jumping you than ground up dead cartilage. Do you think I would be more attractive if I ate my toe nails? What about other peoples? If the answer is no...stop killing rhinos for theirs. Think logically...but that is the problem isn't it.

Do you know that every day something goes extinct? 

Why do we just accept this???? Logically we shouldn't...

We should not stand back and watch while the wonders of this world are sacrificed to carelessness, apathy and short-termism....but will we?

p.s this is a hand painted like an elephant

We are all too complacent. Perhaps because we are tired of listening to doom and gloom about the environment, biodiversity loss, climate change, energy issues and our dwindling resources...issue fatigue is a dangerous curse as we are all over exposed and over sensitised to the extreme where we don't care any more. But can't you care about your own life? your childrens? Do you know what will be the last species to be extinct? Eventually...if things don't change...us.

We are losing the battle by quoting cliches and doing nothing. By talking about vague agreements but not proposing concrete solutions. We need action! We need change! But will it be too late?
