This podcast provides an excellent synopsis or overview of the circular chain of violence, destruction and profit which results from exploiting nonhumans for consumption and thereby making humans sick and profitable. This all will  factor in to our universal extinction unless there is immediate massive change. Resources are listed on the podcast's page for further information. Please share.

Planet: Emergency in the Heavens 🛰📡🛰

The following link goes to a message from Arthur Firstenberg, scientist and author of The Invisible Rainbow, regarding actual and potential serious environmental and public health harm from cell phone electromagnetic frequency radiation and plastic. Mr. Firstenberg is one of the first people to have sounded the alarm. Read more at the website for The Cellular Phone Task Force (www.cellphonetaskforce.org). 

Those in power should worry about how many life forms will be killed and species wiped out when it is all over. The people who govern the city where I live have been advised; regardless, the big tech companies and federal/state government agencies still seem to have we the people in a dark grip. We can stop using cell phones and also sue, but systemic change is vital to life on the planet. Please follow the experts, share info with legislators, sign appeals, donate if you wish to promote in that way, and choose life.

USA: Urgent! Please help! Tongass #Wolves are in grave danger

Subject: Please help: Two deadly threats to Tongass wolves
To: 

As we enter this season of giving, Alexander Archipelago wolves in the Tongass National Forest face two deadly threats: loss of their habitat and people who want to kill them. Their numbers have plummeted from roughly 350 in the 1990's to just 170 last month(1), and with a no-quota kill season now underway, we could lose even more. Today, efforts to allow new roadbuilding in the Tongass could make it easier for people to kill wolves in the short term and could destroy the habitat they need to survive in the long term. Between now and Giving Tuesday, a generous donor has agreed to match any gifts to fight this plan and ensure that Tongass wolves have the wild lands they need to roam. Donate to preserve protections that make our Tongass National Forest a safe place for wildlife. From now until Giving Tuesday, your gift will be matched! Like salmon and Sitka black-tailed deer, Tongass wolves on Prince of Wales Island strongly prefer intact old-growth forest. They den amidst the roots of ancient trees where they feed on deer that the forest sustains.(2) And they avoid roads that bring them into contact with people.(3) This is not surprising; when studying Tongass wolves, researchers identified that wolf deaths from trapping and hunting rose and fell in correlation with the amount of roads in study areas.(4) Roadless areas give wolves the space they need to roam...and steer clear from people. If President Trump succeeds in exempting the Tongass from the Roadless Rule, new roads will allow people deeper into the forest to not only kill more wolves, but decimate the old-growth forest that deer and wolves need for long term survival. On Giving Tuesday, protect the ancient trees and the wolves and deer that depend on them. Donate to protect the Tongass National Forest and help us keep the Roadless Rule in place. Thank you, Adam Executive Director P.S. Did you know that the Forest Service lost an average of $20 million per year on timber sales in the Tongass over the last decade? American taxpayers footed the bill to destroy our own forest. Stand up for our old-growth Tongass and the wolves that rely on this landscape by giving generously today! Your gift will be doubled!

USA: Send comments to stop the slaughter of Bluefin Tuna---and other creatures painfully killed and trashed as "BY-CATCH"

Did you know that the longline fish hooks commonly used by fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico needlessly snare hundreds of sea turtles, tuna, sea birds and sharks that they're not even trying to catch? Then they toss the animals they've unintentionally killed OVERBOARD!

Right now, the National Marine Fisheries Service is considering regulations that would put a stop to these deadly, wasteful longlines – but we only have until July 15 to speak out in support of these new regulations.

Please join me in sending a quick message to stop the slaughter in the Gulf today.

Among the wildlife at risk is the Western Atlantic bluefin tuna, a majestic species that only reproduces in the Gulf. Thanks to longlines and other deadly practices, their population has alreadydeclined by 72% since 1970 and they're heading for extinction.

But we have the power to keep them OFF the endangered species list: please join me in sending your message today and then ask your friends and family to do the same by July 15.

Thanks for your help!

P.S. There is further info at National Geographic Newswatch: http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2012/06/20/the-bottom-line-bluefin-tuna-need-you-now/
which says in part: "After years of ineffective management in the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is considering sweeping changes to the way it manages this species in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. But the agency needs to hear from you."

Turtles

Hi –

You know how turtles and tortoises move very, very slowly? Turns out there's one way they're incredibly fast: moving toward extinction.

More than HALF of all freshwater turtle and tortoise species worldwide are threatened with extinction. If we don't take immediate measures to protect these animals, many could be wiped off the face of the planet. But Congress is actually considering making cuts to the programs that would save them. Yikes!

Congress is still marking up their budget for the next year. That means we have an opportunity to stop our leaders from cutting conservation programs that could save turtles and tortoises.

I'm worried that we're going to lose a ton of important species if they make these cuts, so I sent a letter to my members of Congress to make sure they know where I stand. Will you help me increase the pressure on Congress by sending a letter too? It won't take long, and it'll make a huge difference for freshwater turtles and tortoises.

Here's the link: http://bit.ly/HyAxHP

Thanks! Really appreciate it.

– Liz

Bats

From Center for Biological Diversity:
"It’s estimated that to date white-nose syndrome has killed more than 1 million bats in North America.
Although its exact origins are unclear, there’s strong evidence that white-nose syndrome was originally transported from Europe, where the fungus exists but does not kill bats. The syndrome was first discovered in North America in a cave frequently visited by people in upstate New York in February 2006. Because bats do not travel between Europe and North America, this provides compelling evidence that the fungus was introduced to the Northeast by cavers travelling between continents.
The fungus is passed from one bat to another, but it also likely spreads when people inadvertently carry it from one cave to another on their shoes, clothes or equipment."

From Care2:
"The outbreak is the worst wildlife disease epidemic in North America’s history. Congress recently directed the Department of the Interior to allot $4 million for research and management of the disease."

Click here to see Save Our Bats page where it says:
We need your help to:

• pressure Congress to finally provide $10.8 million in research money to find the best ways to stop this disease;
• pass the Wildlife Disease Emergency Act; and
• persuade state and federal land managers to block all but the most essential human travel into caves and abandoned mines, especially those in the West, where the disease has yet to gain a foothold.
