It's December 28th. 🦋 On this day in 1973, US President Richard Nixon signed the Endangered Species Act into law. This act is considered to be one of the most significant and influential environmental laws in American history. At first glance, it appears to be no more than a federally-maintained list of animals on the brink of extinction, but it goes much deeper than that. This law supports federal agents, activists, and everyday people in their efforts to save endangered species.

The Endangered Species Act provides for the conservation of threatened and endangered plants and animals and their habitats – from iconic creatures like the Bald Eagle to lesser-known critters like the Island Night Lizard. The US Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency charged with enforcing the Endangered Species Act, currently lists nearly 1,500 endangered and threatened species in the US. The law requires all federal agencies to ensure that their actions don't jeopardize any endangered species or their habitats.

There have always been conflicting views of the Endangered Species Act, and the Supreme Court has often had to intervene to settle disputes. Conflicts have often involved non-governmental conservation groups like Greenpeace and their tireless efforts to block potentially damaging actions by real estate developers, fossil fuel companies (oil spills, strip mines, pipeline routes, fracking, etc.), and the military (national security issues such as Navy sonar vs. whales).

The US currently suffers from growing political extremism. The Endangered Species Act is barely strong enough right now to safeguard our animal and plant populations. We need to make sure it's able to continue protecting our biodiversity and natural habitats into the foreseeable future because the danger of mass extinctions is real and looming.

We can do this. We succeeded in bringing the whooping crane, gray wolf, monarch butterfly, grizzly bear, American alligator, and so many more species back from the brink of extinction. This isn't our first rodeo. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Endangered Species Week Day 2 - Vaquita Vaquita are small porpoises that only live in the northern area of the Gulf of California. They are also known as desert porpoise, Gulf Porpoise. Vaquita is also Spanish for “little cow”. They are known to be the most endangered cetacean with only being about 9 of them left. The main cause of this is from fisheries using illegal gillnet to catch totoaba (also critically endangered) because of the value of their swim bladder. Mexico keep banning these nets but it still carries on regardless unfortunately. #endangeredweek #endangeredspeciesweek #illustration #vaquita #graphite https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EF-UYJBap/?igshid=17cj4ncxazmfx

- Endangered Animal Art Week - . // Saola // . I love how the are being called Asian Unicorn 😘 Saola is discovered in 1992 and little is known about since it’s discovery. It has two long parallel horns with sharp ends. It can reach 20 inches in length and found in both male and female. . Saola is threatened by hunting, illegal wildlife trade and habitat loss. The actual size of the population is unknown. . Help share and raise awareness on the Saola ❤️ I actually never knew about this animal until this endangered week. I’m thankful for the creators for creating this Endangered Art Week and it definitely raised some awareness on them.

𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐲 🐒 🌱 The last July 29, 2019 was the day of the world overtaking, meaning humanity spent all of its resources that the Earth can regenerate in one year. 🌱 Since 1970, the date of the day of overtaking has deteriorated. In 1998, it was held on September 30th. In 2019, it arrives two months earlier: July 29th. This date is marked this year by a new increase in CO2 emissions. 🌱 To meet the needs of humanity, it would actually be 1.75 Earth. 🌱Solutions exist to push back the date of the day of the overtaking! 🔺Halve your animal protein consumption will save us 15 days a year. 🔺Reduce your food waste by half would push back the date of the day of the 10 day overrun. 🌱Each year, the date of the day of the overrun moves inexorably. Let's take action to reverse the trend! Source @wwf Material used : Ink Colorex @pebeo 🐒

Endangered Species Week Day 3 - Amur Leopard Amur Leopards are a subspecies of the leopard that live in the Amur region which resides in North China and Russian borders. They look bigger than most other leopards because of their fur to handle the colder climates. They are considered to be the most endangered cat species in the world where there were about 30 of them left in the wild but numbers have increased to about 90 individuals. Their cause of decline is mainly through deforestation and poaching - similar to its neighbour: the Amur Tiger. Like most predators, they are most needed in the ecosystem to control the deer population. #endangeredweek #endangeredspeciesweek #illustration #traditionalart #animalart #amurleopard #leopard #bigcat #watercolor #ink https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JW7-XpXv-/?igshid=1nmshrsrxx40g

- Endangered Animals Art Week - . // Bornean Orangutan // . super bad at animals drawings 😭 especially hairy animals . Orangutan numbers and distribution have declined rapidly since the middle of the 20th century, due to human activities like hunting, illegal logging, mining, and conversion of forests to agriculture. . Orangutans have an extremely low reproductive rate because they have single offspring and they take a long time to reach sexual maturity. . Having Orangutans are beneficial to our environment as they help to disperse seeds and keep the forest healthy. . Help share and raise awareness before we lose our orangutans :( You can read up more about them on WWF’s website. . . . . . . . . . . #endangeredweek #endangeredanimalsweek #endangeredspecies #wwf #wwfsg #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #drawforwildlife #wildlifereserve #animal #mammals #procreateart #sgartist #borneanorangutan #orangutan #savetheorangutans https://www.instagram.com/p/B5NTfeUDW9q/?igshid=5n8ivqjdky1j
