THEIR LAST STAND

Sumatran Tiger

Mountain Gorilla

Blue Throated Macaw

a few animals from the critically endangered list

Treat the earth well.
It was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,
we borrow it from our Children.
~ Ancient Indian Proverb ~

Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.
~ Chief Seattle, 1854 ~

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth find resources of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.”

Rachel Carson

Like the ripples of water our effects are felt everywhere. Everything is connected and one must tread lightly so as not to shake the web of life. Thanks for sharing. Hugs Carrie

Eddie, Its so sad that these wonderful species are in danger.. And man has put them there.. We need to understand that that we are connected to all creatures and what we do to them we do to ourselves..

Wonderful photos.. sending you a thought or three at the beginning of a new week.

  Sadly this list grows longer Dreamwalker. There are many difficulties in today’s world.
  Many may never be seen until they are urgent. Can we save them?
  The most important question each needs to answer…”what do you want”?
  
  thank you very much for your kindess dear friend, Eddie

    I can only answer for myself Eddie, I want a world of Peace, where we can live in balance and harmony with each other and with our wild life.. Where we take only that which we need, and give thanks for all we take.. I want to see a world of freedom where no man is slave to another.. I want no child to go hungry or suffer.. I want clean waterways and pure air.. I want so much..
    Maybe I just want a NEW EARTH… and Maybe Eddie we have to Trash the old one before we see it..
    So so so Sad.. my heart bleeds… And yet I know that we are here at this time of turmoil, in order to help prepare others and ourselves for that time of transformation..
    Chaos often has to happen in order for Peace to follow… Although it may take a few more life times to achieve…
    Love and Blessings my dear Eddie..
    Well you did ask.. ” What do you want?” hehe..
