Malgré l’engagement du gouvernement à protéger davantage de milieux naturels, la biodiversité continue de subir des reculs, surtout en raison des activités humaines qui nuisent aux écosystèmes et qui menacent notre capacité de faire face à la crise climatique. www.ledevoir.com/actualites/e...

Le Québec tiraillé entre protection et destruction de la biodiversité

Le gouvernement veut conserver plus de territoire tout en autorisant des projets qui nuisent à la nature.

Thousands of threatened lemurs are killed by specialist hunters every year to feed a lucrative urban market for their meat in cities across Madagascar.

While rural subsistence hunting is seasonal and opportunistic, the year-round urban luxury trade for lemur meat threatens large-bodied species.

Urban appetite for lemur meat piles pressure on iconic primates

ANTANANARIVO — Ninety-five percent of lemur species are threatened by habitat loss, hunting and climate change. The direct threat is often understood to result from the actions of poor rural…

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 7d

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

That chimpanzees are Endangered tells you everything about our species and about what made her so exceptional.
