Animals are my friends ... and I don't eat my friends. ~ George Bernard Shaw

Healing the planet includes healing ourselves. Slowing down, reconnecting, and letting go of stress are acts of care for yourself and for for all life. We all know time spent in nature is good for us. It's also good for nature because we become attentive. #SlowLiving #SelfCare #HealingNature

Nature's poetry...

Nature’s brilliance—every color, every pattern speaks to someone, somewhere. In our intertwined world where beauty has many beholders, every hue has a purpose—to attract, warn, or simply to dazzle. In nature, beauty isn’t just for show; it’s a language all its own. 🌿✨ #AnimalCommunications

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. ~ Vincent Van Gogh #nature #beauty

Last month, two dozen captive-bred eastern quolls were released onto a large-scale regeneration property in Tasmania's Midlands as part of a conservation program to help bolster populations. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03... #Quolls #Rewilding #SaveOurHabitats #Regeneration

“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.” ― C. S. Lewis It is not wrong to run from the cliff of consumerism, greed, habitat destruction. #Caring for the #environment & each other is essential, right and needed.

“Why did I feel I was owed a stable wilderness, a certain snapshot of the earth?” Colonial erasure of time has given us a false sense of security, an inability to cope with Earth's constant changes. A beautiful piece, worth a read when you have a moment. emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-fa...

In a world where everything now has a price tag, nature's spaces threaten those who profit off our exhaustion, our stress, and our disconnection. National parks don’t just protect nature. They protect us, restore us, reconnect us. #ParksMatter #WellBeing #Nature

Enoughness, multispecies justice, and ecological well-being are deeply connected—because enough for humans should also mean enough for other species, rather than taking more than our share. #MultispeciesJustice #Thoughtful #CareForPlanet

Social justice doesn’t stop at human borders. If you believe in social justice, you also believe it's time to extend justice to all sentient beings. 🌍🐾 🐖🐓🐄 #MultispeciesJustice www.counterpunch.org/2025/02/27/i...

🌳 What if we stopped thinking of land, water, and animals as resources to own—and instead as relationships to honor? #MultispeciesJustice #Interconnected

Whales sing after they've had a good meal. This research shows listening to whales is much more than a rich sensory experience. It’s a window into their lives, their vulnerability, and their resilience. #MultispeciesJustice #Whales #Ocean theconversation.com/whales-sing-...

🛠 #Kindness isn’t passive; it’s a form of resistance. In a world that prioritizes profit over care, every act of compassion is a step toward a different future. #Interconnected #Compassionate

Birds do not own the sky. Rivers do not hoard their water. So why do we believe we must always gather more—to be safe, to be worthy? All life is precious. Recognizing that is the greatest gift we will ever have. #Enoughness #MultispeciesJustice #Interconnection

🦜 Sentient-centric thinking asks: What does this life experience? What does this being need? Instead of “What use does it have for me?” #Sentience #MultispeciesJustice #AnimalCentric #Care

We’re taught that happiness is something to ‘get’—from things, promotions, or achievements. We're taught to do, do, do instead of be, be, be. Nature teaches us that true peace doesn’t come from seeking more, but from embracing what already is. #ReconnectWithNature #Enoughness #JustBe

Wait for the ears 😊 Releasing a Greater Bilby (Macrotis lagotis) back into the wild after we caught it as part of a monitoring survey earlier this week. 📍Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, Badimia Country #WildOz

This Crimson Rosella was clearly ready for its close-up! #birds #birdphotography #wildoz

A wolf moves through the forest, keeping deer on the move. The trees flourish. The rivers change course. The landscape transforms. Not just because of the wolf—but because of the relationships between all things. Life isn’t separate. It’s interwoven. #MultispeciesThinking #Rewilding

Yikes. Is it really that hard for the powerful & super covetous to leave space for the majority of life on this planet? Biodiversity isn’t a luxury—it’s survival. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Animals are autonomous beings. They are not commodities. They are not "live stock". They are thinking, feeling, living beings. They have lives of their own, relationships that matter, and interconnections with us that we barely acknowledge. It’s time we did. #MultispeciesJustice

Emails, meetings, coffee runs - often done without thinking. But our lunch choices have a bigger impact. No one needs meat for a midday meal. Try a plant-based lunch. It’s better for the planet, better for animals, and really, who wants that post-lunch meat slump? 🌱💡 #LunchWithoutHarm #Vegan

That time all the different parrots showed up.

We often think of the world as something humans build, shape, and own. But what if we saw it differently? Beavers engineer wetlands. Wolves shape forests. Trees communicate via fungal networks. The world isn’t made for us—it’s made with us, for all species. 🌍🌿 #MultispeciesWorlding #MoreThanHuman

#Capybaras are the world’s largest rodents—curious, deeply social, and so cute. They can sprint as fast as a horse on land and glide effortlessly through water. But they rely on healthy rivers, lakes, and wetlands to survive - another pressing reason to protect waterways. 🌿🌊🐾 #AnimalFacts #Wildlife

The Earth is not infinite. The forests cannot regrow as fast as they are cut. The oceans cannot heal while we keep taking. The animals cannot rebuild the nests, dens, and burrows of lost habitats. #Enoughness is the pause that lets the world breathe. #Earth #Healing #Nature

A lovely article here on local people working hard to reduce human-wildlife conflict in Snow Leopard Territories. #GoodGreenNews

Rabindranath Tagore, a saintly poet, whose love of humanity and the interconnectedness of all life shines in his works. #Spirituality #Poetry #Nature

Next time the news cycle feels overwhelming, take 10 minutes to watch a bird, touch a tree, or learn one fact about your local ecosystem. The world is still here, waiting for your attention. #SelfCare #Reconnect #Attentiveness

🌍 If not now, when? We’ve passed 420 ppm of CO₂. We’re watching glaciers vanish, oceans warm, ecosystems unravel & habitats disappear & shift. On this precipice, what more do we need to see before we move decisively? #IfNotNowWhen #ClimateChange #MultispeciesJustice www.co2.earth/daily-co2

A calf, full of wonder, peering through nature’s frame. Every animal is someone, with their own curiosity, their own world. What if we looked back—not with ownership, but with #kinship? 💚🌿🐄 #MultispeciesJustice #Lifeworlds #Sentience

Every plant-based meal is a small act with a big impact—for animals, the planet, and you. Start where you can, and grow from there. 🌱✨ #Vegan #PlantBased #KindWorld

Not all boxes are meant for shipping. Some are just for paws and pondering. 🐾💛 Let’s rethink how we see animals—not as commodities, but as fellow beings who deserve care, respect, and a world that treats them with kindness. #CuteDogs #KindnessforAnimals

Jeff Sebo's The Moral Circle: Who Matters, What Matters, and Why. A philosopher calls for a revolution in ethics, suggesting we expand our “moral circle” to include #insects, AI systems, and even #microbes. #MoralCircle #MultispeciesJustice #AnimalWelfare wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Many sunscreens contain chemical compounds that become persistent pollutants, disrupting marine life by causing coral bleaching and deformities. They're also implicated in reduced fish fertility. Choose a reef-safe sunscreen to help protect ocean ecosystems. 🌊🐠 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🦊 Sentience matters. A life that can feel, experience, and suffer is not an object, no matter the species. Justice is incomplete if it excludes non-human beings. #Sentience #MultispeciesJustice

Mankind’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude toward those who are at its mercy: animals. - Milan Kundera

On #WorldWhaleDay, we honor Indigenous communities & marine life relatives Whales teach us about interconnectedness & need our protection Let's amplify efforts to safeguard them & our planet's ecosystem Founded by Greg Kauffman @MauiPacificWF #OceanConservation

Ecuador's Constitutional Court has ruled that coastal marine ecosystems have rights of nature, which includes integral respect for its existence, maintenance and regeneration. #Legalpersonhood #MultispeciesJustice www.ecowatch.com/ecuador-mari...

Imagine experiencing the world through another animal's senses. How might a dog smell the world? What might a bird see from above? Take a moment to sit in nature and explore the different sensory experiences of the other beings we share our planet with. #AnimalSenses #AnimalPerspective #Lifeworlds

Very proud of this group effort. And open access! www.cambridge.org/core/element...

💚 Don’t despair—repair! The state of our world can feel overwhelming. But every act of care creates ripples and inspires others to #care too. What’s one small act of repair you can make today for the planet? #EveryActionCounts #HopeInAction #RepairCare

Splendid peacock spiders make the most amazing jumps! I always wonder how scientists spot these tiny creatures—it reminds me to pay closer attention to the miniature world around us. Have you noticed any small wonders lately? #AmazingNature #JumpingSpiders theconversation.com/tiny-splendi...

Despite covering only 25% of Earth's land, #mountains host 87% of amphibians, birds & mammals. Protecting alpine ecosystems from climate change means safeguarding countless species—support conservation efforts, reduce emissions & amplify awareness. 🏔️ #ActForNature #Biodiversity #ClimateChange
