I am not a cat. I sure love them, though!
I love animals, nature, history, music (to listen to, I'm not a musician) and human rights. I have three adorable cats. I live in northern Alberta, Canada and work in remote sensing of the environment. See my nature (and cat) photos at pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/…

Water pollution in DRC attributed to Chinese mining company

While areas rich in rare minerals may be a blessing for the country’s economy, they can also be a curse for the local populations in the DRC.

Whiter day today- still just a few cm/couple of inches, on top of the modest remnants from last week's minor snow. It will likely mostly stay for a while, as it is forecast to be a bit colder for a few days- a couple of nights around -20c/-4F- that's not extreme for this time of year nor is it early. Next week warmer again. Meantime, a flashback to early October! Native Cornus sericea/Dogwood catching afternoon sunlight

Um, what?

Alberta MP Shannon Stubb's press release appears to come from an alternate universe. I might like that one better.

That said, best wishes to MP Shannon Stubbs' recovery from the jaw surgery. I don't like her politics but she runs a great MP's office that will really help constituents with problems.

A look at how environmental crimes are prosecuted in the Dominican Republic

The functions of three institutions, linked by the common denominator of environmental protection, complement one another in the pursuit of environmental crimes which, though frequent, are also more frequently reported.

Second day of boycotting YouTube is going well 😊 turns out there's lots of other things I can do instead!

It's kind of like how my life was before YouTube existed. I just did other things.

Google is in the middle of a six-month, $45 million contract to amplify propaganda with Netanyahu’s office. The contract describes Google as a “key entity” supporting the prime minister’s messaging.

Just 2 days left to vote for #Gaza's Saeed AlErr!!

worldwide-vets.org/goldenstara…

Superb org that has rescued and treated pets, livestock and wild animals, but has fed and provided necessities for the people of Gaza.

While other animal advocates have stayed silent, Saeed and his family and volunteers have worked at great peril to themselves. Their main vet #DrMuath was murdered by Israel at the beginning of the "ceasefire".

Thank you.

This silvery gibbon was seized from the checked baggage of a passenger travelling from Malaysia via Thailand, at Mumbai International Airport, India. The gibbons are endemic to Java and are endangered, with less than 2,500 remaining in the wild. One of the ones recovered from the baggage was dead, while the other, in a video shared by Indian Customs, was seen cradled in the arms of an officer, softly hooting before covering its face with its arm.
