The problems humanity faces today demand a positive mental attitude and a sense of compassion for others. I firmly believe we can solve the majority of our problems by developing a sense of universal responsibility—wanting to do something for others without a selfish motive.

This is really bad. @MO_HOTELS brands themselves as a world-class hotel chain. But their parent company is tearing down orangutan habitat, and bringing the tapanuli orangutan - a species of just 800 - to the cusp of extinction.
Well done ⁦@horton_official⁩ and ⁦@Telegraph⁩ for uncovering this important story. There are so many good British efforts to turn the tide - and then there’s this. telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/09…

Habitat loss & fragmentation threaten #migratoryanimals globally & make spillovers of pathogens between wild animals & humans more likely. Healthy, well-connected ecosystems are vital for migratory species & help reduce the spread of infectious diseases. bit.ly/3e5W5vJ
