We don’t get to apologize to a species after the last one dies. On September 14, a U.S. rule took effect removing the Endangered Species Act’s regulatory definition of “harm.” That definition included habitat destruction that kills or injures protected wildlife. Think about what’s actually at stake. The forest where an animal finds food. The shelter where it sleeps. The place where it raises its young. Destroying those places can kill just as surely as a weapon. Other ESA protections remain. But conservation groups warn this change could leave endangered animals more exposed to habitat destruction. "AP reporting" (apnews.com/article/endangere…) That should matter to every one of us who has ever watched an animal and felt something. Mars brought us together. Through @marsprojectusa, we have a chance to turn that love into a voice for wildlife. The love cannot end when the video does. These animals have lives beyond our screens. They need somewhere to eat, somewhere to raise their babies, somewhere to EXIST. Please read the rule. Share the facts. Contact your representatives and ask them to restore protections against habitat destruction that kills endangered wildlife. Support organizations protecting those habitats. We have a voice while these decisions are being made. We have a chance to speak while there are still animals left to protect. Let’s use it. Conservation > extinction.

GMars 🦛🌍 A world without pygmy hippos? We’re not willing to shrug and accept that. If you feel the same, you’re Hippo Army. Follow @marsprojectusa and tag someone who belongs here. Let’s build the community this fight deserves.

What a cutie 🥰

GMars 🦛🔥 Extinction is permanent. Our commitment to wildlife needs to outlast a trending post. Hippo Army, let’s keep showing up. Quote this with why the Mars mission matters to you. Give someone a reason to join us. @MarsProjectUSA

GMars, Hippo Army 🦛🌍 Mars gets people’s attention. Let’s make sure his species keeps it. Repost @MarsTheHippo and tell people why you’re here. We want a future with pygmy hippos in it and we can’t wait until they’re gone to care.

Conservation at its finest! 🥹 I hope @MarsProjectUSA gets to support projects like this as we get bigger!

Can someone explain how a “nonprofit” health insurance company brings in $66.8 BILLION in one year, reports a $1.9 BILLION loss, and STILL has roughly $22 BILLION in reserves? That's Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois' parent company, HCSC. Meanwhile, Americans are struggling to afford premiums, deductibles, and medical bills. Nonprofit doesn't mean no money. But shouldn't it mean putting patients before building massive financial reserves? Healthcare shouldn't feel like a luxury. @BCBSIL @HCSC @BCBSAssociation @AnthemBCBS @BCBSMA @BlueCrossMN @FLBlue @Highmark @BlueShieldCA @BCBSLA @BCBSND @ArkBlueCross Where is the affordability you keep promising?

GMars 🦛🔥 Come for Mars. Stay because wildlife is worth fighting for. We’re building the Hippo Army, and we want you in it. Introduce one friend to @MarsProjectUSA today! Extinction isn’t waiting. Let’s get more people giving a damn.

GMars, Hippo Army 🦛🔥 Wildlife doesn’t need another quiet supporter. It needs people willing to show up, speak up, and bring others with them. Follow @marsthehippo. Share the mission. Help us build a movement that refuses to look away.
