The world’s worms are being killed off by industrial agriculture.

Modern farming practices have killed off 4 out of 5 worms that once lived on farms.

'If you dreamed up plots to quietly undermine civilization, few could be more diabolical than destroying its foundation — the soil life' we need to grow food.

Reptiles are in great danger of extinction worldwide.

🔺 20% of known reptile species worldwide are endangered or facing extinction

🔺 20% of lizard species worldwide could go extinct within decades (local extinctions could reach as high as 40%)

scientificamerican.com/article/warmin…
What’s causing the reptiles’ decline?

“While habitat loss is the most obvious cause of endangerment, declines are even occurring in pristine areas from threats such as disease, UV radiation and climate change"

Also overcollecting & unregulated hunting.scientificamerican.com/article/reptil…
'Although the amphibian decline problem is a serious threat, reptiles appear to be in even greater danger of extinction worldwide.'

It is the N. American songbird breeding season, AKA time for my annual #bird & #birding PSA:

Don’t kill #cowbird brood parasite eggs/nestlings! It is illegal and likely doing more harm to your birds than good. How? Behold, a mega-thread: 1/37

[all media mine unless indicated] One blue Dickcissel and one speckled cowbird egg in a nest
Before I start, know I’m going to be citing lots of academic articles that are likely behind a paywall. If you want to know more about the articles and can’t access them please DM me! Science should be available to everyone, but that is an argument for another time. 2/37
The Brown-headed Cowbird! A sharp-looking blackbird from North and Central America. Males have black bodies and chocolate-brown heads. Females are sleek and brown. They make fun bubbly noises. 3/37 allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brown-he…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
