Albino Bell’s false brook salamander (Isthmura bellii)

This false brook salamander is lacking its iconic dark black colour and fiery orange spots. This curiously pale albino salamander was found a few years ago by a local teacher on the pavement in Pinal de Amoles, in the WLT-funded Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, #Mexico.

It's the first known record of #albinism in tropical #salamanders.

First he said #facebook was working w privacy and ethics-by-design. Then, he claimed his platform democratised the world by allowing everybody to shout out, and that #meta was ethical because it gives away it products for free - also to the poor.

Nothing of above is correct, it is cynical PR - they steal the words from those who truely work for humans, democracy and the planet.

Spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus)
Mother keeps an eye out as her cub nuzzles for comfort. The spectacled bear, or Andean bear, is the only bear that comes from Peru.
It is vegetarian, usually dining on fruit, leaves, and honey. Numbers of these bears have fallen rapidly due to hunting and loss of habitat, but WLT-funded projects in South America are working to protect them.
