#worldwildlifeday

From storing carbon and supporting ocean ecosystems to sustaining biodiversity and balancing life in the sea, marine wildlife plays a vital role in keeping our ocean—and our planet—alive. 🌊

Yesterday was #WorldWildlifeDay, a moment to recognize just how much we rely on nature and the species that keep our world in balance. And nowhere is that more powerful than in the #ocean—the lungs of our planet and home to the life that makes it thrive. But more than a day of appreciation, what marine life needs most is for us to show up for them every day.

Let’s keep fighting for a future where marine wildlife isn’t just surviving, but thriving. Because a healthy ocean means a healthy planet—for all of us.

Did you know : Lionesses are the primary hunters in a pride. They work together in coordinated groups to stalk and take down prey, often targeting large animals like zebra, wildebeest, and buffalo.

Wow. apparently today is World Wildlife Day. With so many other distractions, it almost got completely by me.

Sadly (and given that photography is more of a hobby and not a career) I don't have time for a really great post about all the joy that the other inhabitants of this wonderful planet have brought to my life. But I can share my favorite Wildlife Day in the last year.

How about some Elephant Seals?

A couple of wildlife photos, in honor of World Wildlife Day.

Wildlife should matter to everyone, and does whether they realize it or not. Our environment is a system of systems, and those natural systems interact with human built ones in a multitude of ways large and small. Wildlife are the ambassadors for those systems. Healthy abundant wildlife means healthy wilderness, which makes those points of contact with human systems healthy. If you like clean air and clean water and the things that rely on them (hint: it's everything), wildlife and wilderness play a big role in those things existing. Defending them is self-defense. We're not separate from them in any meaningful way except physical distance.

Frequently not even that! The photos in today's post were taken in a town park (the elk), and on an afternoon whale watching tour.

Wildlife is closer than you think. Go see some! You'll enjoy it.

3 March is #WorldWildlifeDay
The international event celebrates the importance of #animals and #plants.
It also aims to raise awareness about the importance of protecting #wildlife which has seen a huge fall in numbers over the past 50 years, according to a recent report from the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF).

Factors like #climatechange and human activities like #deforestation, #fishing and #farming have all had an impact on nature's ability to thrive.

The joy I get to experience by being in the jungle and getting to see these majestic creatures is incomparable, but also to be in the jungle experiencing different landscape and coming across any wildlife calms my soul.

I'm really glad that such experiences, albeit a bit expensive, is still somewhat in our reach and more people could connect to it and help save it for our future generations!
