Wildlife conservation is a pressing issue globally, with habitats and species facing threats from human activities like deforestation and poaching. Recent trends show a growing concern for endangered animals and the need to protect biodiversity. Petitions under the wildlife topic focus on various issues, from banning trophy hunting to supporting conservation efforts for iconic species like elephants and rhinos.
Notable petitions include one calling for a complete ban on ivory trade to protect elephant populations and another demanding stricter laws against poaching to save rhinos from extinction. These petitions highlight the urgency of addressing human-induced threats to wildlife and the importance of preserving our natural heritage.
Join the movement to protect wildlife by supporting these petitions and raising awareness about the pressing conservation challenges we face. Your involvement can make a significant impact in safeguarding the future of our planets precious wildlife.
Very disappointing, a decision made with no forethought, no warning and no justifiable cause. Will undo decades and millions of dollars of efforts to preserve this unique ecosystem. We are the stewards of this land and we are failing it - our children and the rest of the world will look back at these decisions and hate us for it.
Why?for the love of god.... please please tell me why this has even got to this point of us as a human race...having to petition to stop the pain and suffering of living creatures that have a right to be here and are ABSOLUTELY crucial to the ongoing harmony and eco system of our planets very excistence! and that aside...how so mindless we are to not see that the ocean is what gave us our beginning... as a child before i was even influenced or brain washed by people or society or even my parents i was deeply interested in documentaries on our planet... the ocean and everything in it always facinated me so deeply... i use to collect a magazine collection that came out each week at my local newsagent that educated me on sealife and explained and taught me alot.. my first magazine was about sharks and i learned how many hundreds of species of sharks there was in the ocean at that time and was fascinated by the "hammerhead"shark... i was only 11.. i thought to myself "how amazing is that that a creature can push out his jaw and swim so fast and catch his food?!" i remember thinking "i cant swim that fast!"... i then even at that age thought to myself and realised without influence that as human beings we are not that smart...Im so deeply and always have been hurt by mindless unthoughtfull behaviour by people against animals or creatures without a voice...i use to think to myself... "if they could speak what would they say? i would look into the eyes of an animal...and see there pain.. the eyes of anything can tell you so much if you see deeply enough....we are pathetic as human beings, brainwashed by poltics, drama and the love of power...do we think we are immortal? We have become selfish, mindless, and we have evolved as a species not using our blessed power of voice for the greater good of anything or anyone, but our own selfish need for validation as a person or to show power...it hurts to the pit of my stomach that we are so consumed by power, ego, status. When these people in power that can quite easily turn this all around.. realise that the following they will receive for acting with compassion would be more powerfull and in tune with the people more so than the way they do it now...othetwise i hope they realise this...yoir real calling will be when you reach the gates of heaven and you face yourselves, then you will say "oh dear god im sorry i had the power to change these issues but i didnt"...its to late..dont let that be your last calling. Peace and respect by us to all creatures great and small is what will make this world a better place..
I worked many years to conserve the wildlife on and around an island off-shore of the main Hawaiian Islands. The protections of marine protected areas like this one are critical too maintaining a healthy ecosystem in the oceans and on the islands they are adjacent to. There are millions of square miles that remain unprotected and open for fishing. There is no need to strip this MPA of protections other than greed. I urge you to maintain the protections of this MPA for generations to come.
What a short sighted and reckless decision. This will destroy decades of progress and restoration in one of the most biodiverse regions of the Pacific, harming the reefs, islands, wildlife and local communities that depend on this special region of the world. Plus, studies have shown that protecting marine areas from fishing will increase the catch in nearby areas, as the recovering fish populations “spill over” to areas nearby. Even the fishing industry won’t benefit from this decision. We need to expand protections for our oceans, not rollback the few we have.
I live immediately above the park. It is outrageous that as someone who could have effects of this herbicide that I was not notified or given a voice to discuss the issues prior to spraying.
It is absolutely premature and unnecessary to remove, let alone kill, this young beaver from its natural habitat. Please do your research on how beneficial beavers are to the ecosystem and how much they contribute to the biodiversity of the lake, therefore beautifying it rather than harming it. Perhaps Wally can even be a new "mascot" of Kingstowne lake. Educational signs can be added along the trail so that residents can learn more about these fascinating animals, why they need our protection, and how to peacefully coexist with them. It would be absolutely amazing to see a segment on the Kingstonian as well. Children can make drawings of Wally and enter into a contest! Thank you for reconsidering.
We should not see wildlife as a threat but rather a neighbor we cohabitate with. These animals are not looking to make our lives more difficult or challenging we should be blessed to be able to live amongst such beautiful creatures. This is such a shame that they are allowed to harm an animal this way.
I think KROC wanting to kill Wally is disgusting. He isn't causing damage. I love seeing the wildlife on my walks and I'd love to spot this little guy from a distance one day. KROC instead of trying to kill the wildlife why don't you maintain the area we pay you for. He will do more for the environment then you probably will ever do.
We need nature and it's creature's. There is so much beauty in it.
Let Wally be.
