Greece and Turkey do share the South Mediterranean with Egypt.
But Egypt has the deeper South Mediterranean and also the Red Sea.
Two epic coasts. Let’s hope Egypt can keep them that way. 🤞🫡

This massive sea mammal was hunted to extinction in the 18th century.

A critically endangered Diademed sifaka hanging on for dear life—but losing grip on existence in this world.
Madagascar is stricken with extreme poverty, so hunting these large sifakas for bushmeat has soared, even in protected areas. Slash-and-burn for timber and sugar cane plantations for illegal rum is destroying their food trees.
Touchingly, they diligently patrol their territory every morning, carefully scent marking their trees to protect it—but they are defenseless against the ravages we inflict on them.
Long-lived and slow-to-reproduce, now also with high infant mortality (50%), wasting in adults and stunting in immatures as we systematically remove their means to exist.
The tiny, isolated groups in the fragmented reserves may already be genetically non-viable long-term.
It will take a miracle—or someone with enormous wealth— to save this spectacular species from extinction within my lifetime.

The Northern Bald Ibis is perhaps Morocco’s best bird conservation success Geronticus eremita or Old Man Hermit or Old Man of the desert was Critically Endangered but recent reintroductions in Turkey & Morocco have made it Endangered. A fascinating red headed monk! #birding

The problem:
Healey says "we are not safe, Defence needs more money. Trust me".
Keir says "we are safe as houses. Defence has enough money. Trust me".
Note: Keir told us that for our security we immediately had to give away Chagos & shed loads of money or we would be in danger.

An expert warns the Trump administration is treating the ocean like a gas station and dump, dismantling vital monitoring while pushing deep sea mining expansion and looser fishing regulations that threaten marine ecosystems.

The total amount since January is 137 kilos.
It’s Auschwitz level amounts of hair from just two days of slaughtering innocent Iranian women.
This is why we never saw piles of female bodies in the morgues. They were harvested.

South Africa is well on the way to eradicating cheetahs outside of protected areas.
Jun 11
New census of free-roaming cheetahs in South Africa reveals the population outside protected areas has plummeted, down 70% from previous estimates. Just 83 mature adults and 36 cubs remain across vast farmlands. In the four years of the study, 20% of the adults (17 individuals) were lost to shooting, snaring and vehicle collisions. Zero successful prosecutions. iol.co.za/weekend-argus/news…

Earlier today, the Polish parliament observed a moment of silence in memory of the murdered Henry Nowak and all victims of anti-white racism.
You can always count on Poland.

Why bother with just three by-elections next Thursday why not add another 647 and see what happens as we can’t be in a worse position than we are now.

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit
