Earth matters

A thread for environment/green subjects.
I'll start it off with the news which came out yesterday about giraffes now being added to the endangered species list.

Too soon ?

Yes,you sicko, that's the sort of pic Fliposchitz would post. Bad Carlus, bad.......

The least she could have done would be to not wear sneakers and a t-shirt.

I'm a sick bastard.


What happened to the Giraffe numbers that they are now going extinct.

What happened to the Giraffe numbers that they are now going extinct.

Only heard a short bit on the radio today. Numbers are down to about 100,000 mostly due to loss of habitat. Not because of American dentists shooting beloved animals.

What happened to the Giraffe numbers that they are now going extinct.

Survival of the fittest. No shortage of dogs. At least in the countries that don't eat them.

Assuming you're using the IUCN red list, the giraffe is vulnerable, not endangered.

Thank you Otern, that distinction is important if none the happier reading.
I was half awake this morning when I heard so I missed that. I think they said the population had dropped by 75% in the last couple of decades.

Also, there are flaws with the IUCN, although they're one of the better conservation monitoring groups.

Anything coming from WWF or Greenpeace can be thrown straight in the trash.
