Poi Dogs anuenue - NEWSLETTER/ EXTINCT IS FOREVER.... by 2020 2/3rds of all of our wildlife will be gone forever... EXTINCT! We can stop this culling globally and we can protect the Endangered Species Act.. created to protect all animals, including our marine life and all of their habitats. Please sign the petition included, we are their voice and when we speak they listen... Mahalo

"Globally citizens are deeply concerned by scientists warning that ecosystems is critical to sustaining life on Earth and can and could collapse in our lifetimes.  We need to meet existing targets to protect biodiversity, forge a new agreement so that at least 50% of our lands and oceans are protected and restored, and ensure our planet is completely sustainably managed.  We all need to stand together, and collectively sign the petitions, and share them.  We are also fighting for our lives to save from extinction our Endangered Species Act..... We must stand together as we are in the fight for all life.. Mahalo 

  We must Save our ecosystems and 80-90% of all species.. sign the petition

Scientists say we’re in the midst of the next great extinction, humanity is taking a chainsaw to the tree of life. But an ambitious new plan to protect 50% of our planet would heal our home, and governments are about to meet to discuss the crisis. They will only deliver if they hear a giant chorus behind this plan. Add your name -- before our Earth falls silent: 

SIGN THE PETITION 

our oceans

over fishing endangered

our wolves endangered

our bears endangered

our polar bears and their habitat

our lions endangered all wildlife

By 2020, two-thirds of wild animals will be gone. Life is being extinguished as fast as when the dinosaurs disappeared -- and it’s happening because humanity is taking a chainsaw to the tree of life.

Unless we stop this tragedy, the Earth’s delicate biodiversity could completely collapse, leaving our planet deathly silent and uninhabitable for humans and all life. But there’s hope - top scientists are backing an ambitious plan to put half our planet under protection and restore harmony

Governments are meeting in days to discuss how we address the crisis. If we bring a resounding chorus of human voices behind the 50% plan, we can push governments to stop the next mass extinction.

Join the global chorus, before the Earth falls silent

We’re testing the boundaries of our planet’s ability to sustain us and all life, but the biodiversity crisis still isn’t high on the political agenda! If enough of us engage now, we could change that. 

Scientists say our best chance to save our ecosystems and 80-90% of all species is giving them enough safe space to thrive, then nature uses its wisdom to regenerate. The 50% plan sounds ambitious, but in fact it’s totally viable, and likely the best way to sustain our intricate web of life.

But to get this off the ground we have to show our governments now that people overwhelmingly want to protect 50% from deforestation, dirty energy, and industrial fishing and agriculture. Let’s start today with a massive petition for 50%, and keep building the pressure until we win!

Join the global chorus, before the Earth falls silent

It is a great unwisdom of our species that we have become so disconnected from our natural world. But it's not too late. We have the capacity to grow wiser. Our hope for change built this massive movement, and we won the Paris climate deal. We are within sight of protecting 50% of our planet. Let's come together, lead, and restore the harmony between humans, animals and our home.

I hope everyone does sign this petition, as we are now fighting to save all species of animals, as well as our own.. We have become a species of tunnel vision, wearing blinders so we do not see, nor do we care to see how we as humans, have become the most destructive and dangerous species on our EARTH...  We are declaring WAR on every species, including our own.
