Paradoxe Gedanken (4.Teil)
Wale, Schildkröten und Delfine verenden,
weil sie sich dem Müll im Meer zuwenden.
Haben sonst nichts,
denn der Mensch hat bald auch schon den letzten Fisch erwischt.Du denkst, was interessiert es mich,
ich hab eh kein Gewicht.
Selbst wenn ich mich für die Natur einsetzte,
landen noch viele Tiere im Netze.
Jeden Tag wird Raubbau betrieben,
Schweine geschlachtet, Elefanten vertrieben. -

Spring is in the air in the #Mojave! I happened to capture this image of a mating pair of Mojave desert #tortoises (#Gopherus #agassizii) last weekend during a #drone survey - a first! That's an active burrow to the left.
