I agree that founding of actual protection plans and doing them would be beneficial.
But thise efforts don't make headlines. This might raise some awareness for the cause.
Tho I have no idea why you would want a tiger and not something more benign - like thise mini elephants.

Just cause a previous effort failed, doesn't mean this one will too.

Just remember that the scientists are very knowledgeable, and most of the time, failures are due to funding, not effort.

When it hits humans, at least you lot will have a vaccine. It's going to rip through the US and kill millions, while our leaders tell us to see a chiropractor.

That is an issue a well, but landfills are supposed to have layers of liners, heavy plastic, layers of waste, more plastic, so they don't leak as such.

Longer term better solutions could be a masonry shell of some kind that would be more durable.

Edit: Also landfilling releases much smaller amounts of the chemicals, while burning releases ALL of them, and all at once. Nature can often absorb smaller amounts over time, but get overwhelmed by too much at one time, ie previous extinction events like that siberian volcanoes for thousands of years until one of the kharsts hit massive coal deposits that flooded co2 faster than the earth could absorb it. End edit.

There aren't any good solutions, but landfilling is less bad. The only good solution is to stop making it and that won't happen because entrenched interests prevent us from improving anything in this foul year of 2026.

This is a grave problem. Landfilling releases the same chemicals into the soil life and into waterways which affect the food that many life forms depend on. So, poison whichever way we look at it.

If there are alternatives that you can see or have read/heard about please let us know.

As to the comment about recycling being supported by the public. Yes, but not ever with plastic. Landfill it.

There are myriad untold chemicals in plastic that get released into the air when it's recycled, he resulting product is virtually worthless, and only taxpayer subsidies pay for it.

There is also just massive massive new plastic manufacturing that has come online the past 20 years. 10 years ago a study said something like 90 percent of all plastic every produced had been made in the prior 10 years, or something like that.

Massive new productions have come online since, it's a problem, but recycling is more expensive for a worthless product.

I've heard the same thing dozens of times over the past 20 years, it never eventuates.

There's a limited pool of money for environmentalist causes, all projects like this do is take that funding away from other projects that could prevent endangered species from going extinct.

Is there any way to stop them?

Labor has clearly sold out to some american corporate

The ever-increasing cost of inaction is already being carried by us all. That's the point, right? That's what the laws were suppose to address.

As the great Bliss n Eso once said, labor or liberal, they're the same as the criminals.

They've also found overseas that degraded land used for solar farms can be seeded with local wild herbs and flowers. I don't know if this would work in every case but it's been successful in the reported projects. Of course the invertebrate life has grown and with that birds and other animals like lizards, etc. Seeing as insects have been hit so hard everywhere this should be done in many more places imo. Also growing plants would keep the soil in place and even contribute to it.

Oh sure they can. Just like everyone else does.

Particularly rough for him since Rod Hull died trying to fix the TV aerial.

I'd guess that having access to plentiful shade and shelter from rain, year round, makes life a little bit less stressful for the sheep

Not being in the sun or poor weather all day probably leaves more resources/energy for the body to use on the wool.

Do sheep dream of electric humans?

Apparently, yes.

And also a happy father's day to the least dedicated of Aussie dads, the bush turkey.

But an unhappy father's day to the plover (idk if it was the father or mother) that was protecting the diagonally opposite corner of the roundabout from its partner and baby and threatening me when I just wanted to go past on my run…and even switched sides specifically to avoid baby.

Yup! Mother's Day varies by country too, though to a much lesser degree.

TIL different countries celebrate Fathers' Day on different days. HFD to all hard-working dads out there!

That's what I'm doing at my place. Little by little I'm seeing wildlife I had not seen before. With springtime the sounds of courting little birds is increasing. I love it!

I am sure you know this but I am writing it here for everyone because of the gardening theme: don't forget to put out shallow bowls and bird baths for birds and also on the ground for reptiles and small mammals. The temperatures are already hot and who knows what sort of summer we're ging to have.
