Well,maybe not.Located on 10th St and Waverly Place The Three Lives and Company bookshop may live to see a third life,but just not at this location.The building the quaint,little shop is found in is up for sale and the owners have opted not to renew Three Lives' lease.The company may have to look for a new home if they can't work out a deal with the building's new owner.Three Lives moved to the Waverly Place location in 1983,thirty-three years ago.Moving again could prove to be challenging this time around with way the real estate market has changed in the area in recent years.www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160615/west-village/three-live...

Das Bienensterben geht weiter. Denke nun bitte niemand, es habe etwas mit dem Menschen und seinen wohldurchdachten Aktivitäten zu tun. Ich war froh, als ich diese summende Sammlerin fand.
If we don't counteract, the last bees will soon disappear.

These old farmhouses from before 1800 have stood through the forces of nature for decades of time. I surly hope they will stand forever.
NS TripleCrown Roadrailer 256 heads into downtown Lafayette, Indiana on the former Wabash. With the operating costs, age, and continued used of largely proprietary parts to service the aging trailers on these trains, Ford has decided to officially end the last two remaining Roadrailers on July 1st, 2023, a true end of an era for this region. But at the end of the day, it’s also really hard to believe these trains managed to last for as long as they did (5/9/23).

The African Bush Elephant is the largest known land mammal on Earth, with male African Bush Elephants reaching up to 3.5 metres in height and the females being slightly smaller at around 3 metres tall. The body of the African Bush Elephants can also grow to between 6 and 7 meters long. The tusks of an African Bush Elephant can be nearly 2.5 meters in length and generally weigh between 50 and 100 pounds, which is about the same as a small adult Human. African Bush Elephants have four molar teeth each weighing about 5.0 kg and measuring about 12 inches long. As the front pair of molars in the mouth of the African Bush Elephant wear down and drop out in pieces, the back pair shift forward and two new molars emerge in the back of the African Bush Elephant's mouth. African Bush Elephants replace their teeth six times during their lives but when the African Bush Elephant is between 40 to 60 years old, it no longer has teeth and will likely die of starvation, which is sadly a common cause of death of Elephants in the African wilderness.
Amboseli National Park, formerly Maasai Amboseli Game Reserve, is in Kajiado County, Kenya. The park is 39,206 hectares (392 km2; 151 sq mi) in size at the core of an 8,000 square kilometres (3,100 sq mi) ecosystem that spreads across the Kenya-Tanzania border. The local people are mainly Maasai, but people from other parts of the country have settled there attracted by the successful tourist-driven economy and intensive agriculture along the system of swamps that makes this low-rainfall area (average 350 mm (14 in)) one of the best wildlife-viewing experiences in the world with 400 species of birds including water birds, pelicans, kingfishers, crakes, hammerkops and 47 types of raptor. The park protects two of the five main swamps, and includes a dried-up Pleistocene lake and semi-arid vegetation.
240 kilometers (150 miles) southeast from the capital city Nairobi, Amboseli National Park is the second most popular national park in Kenya after Maasai Mara National Reserve.
The park is famous for being the best place in the world to get close to free-ranging elephants. The park also offers spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
I don't understand why people do not understand the urgency and gravity of us facing extinction.

Doing things differently
Perhaps some of you may recognize that this is one of the shooting scenes in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction
Long after man has gone the Earth will rise up and take back the Land and make it beautiful once more.
These are the ruins of the barracks used by the slate quarry workers.
Anyhow I'm hoping to outlive Extinction Rebellion. The way they are going they are going to kill themselves off.

Facing extinction. Of everything going on in the world - this is the subject that truly astonishes me that we are not talking about how we are facing extinction.
Dracaena draco, also known as the Dragon Tree, is a truly remarkable plant native to the Canary Islands and nearby regions. With its thick trunk, spiky leaves, and umbrella-like canopy, this tree is easily recognizable. One of its most fascinating features is the red resin it produces, famously referred to as "dragon's blood," which has been valued throughout history for its medicinal properties and use as a dye.
This highly drought-tolerant plant thrives in arid environments and well-draining soil, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor settings. Its cultural significance in the Canary Islands cannot be overstated, as it symbolizes longevity and resilience. Some Dragon Trees, such as the renowned Dragon Tree of Icod de los Vinos, are believed to be centuries old.
The Dragon Tree is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN, meaning it faces a high risk of extinction in the wild due to habitat loss, over-exploitation, and climate change.

Street and reportage photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Taken in in July 2019 when an Extinction Rebellion protest closed roads in a few major cities including here, at Tollbooth Steeple in Glasgow. Irrespective of your opinions of the actions of the Extinction Rebellion group, their motives should be a rallying cry for us all. We are living through a mass extinction era that is almost entirely man-made and we still have the power to stop the worst of it from coming to pass - if we act now! *
We share one world, one tiny planet in the vastness of space, where each ecosystem is delicately balanced with the next. The more we screw up the greater the knock-on effects will be. Every day is Earth Day.
#EarthDay #ClimateEmergency #ExtinctionRebellion
* I am not a member of Extinction Rebellion and I do not condone unlawful protest, I am just a photographer documenting life in the city. I do, however, see and understand the irrefutable science behind our climate emergency.
75 Percent of Animal Species to be Wiped Out in ‘Sixth Mass Extinction’
Under the most conservative estimate possible, development, disappearing habitats and climate change will exterminate animal species within just three human lifetimes, a new study finds.
THE SIXTH EXTINCTION
Commentary by Sea Shepherd founder Captain Paul Watson
So now it’s official.
This is the age of the Anthropocene.
The Sixth Extinction.
Finally the Scientific Community has recognized officially what they have known for decades.
We’re all responsible. If you have a birth Certificate you’re guilty. We’re all hypocrites by varying degrees of complicity.
The question is; what the hell are we going to do about it?
The choices are to continue to ignore reality as we continue to amuse ourselves or actually get down and dirty to do something about it.
There are only two kinds of humans on this planet. The Anthropocentrics that believe this world was created solely for humanity to be used in any way we desire, that we are the only species that counts, and whose guiding instincts are selfishness, arrogance and an amazing ignorance of the laws of ecology.
And there are the biocentrics that understand that we are a part of nature, that we need and that we are interdependent with all other species, that we are not superior to them and that we are subject to the laws of ecology.
We biocentrics are the minority but we are the only hope for the future because if we are going to survive as a species, we will only be able to do so if biodiversity itself survives.
The diminishment of biodiversity diminishes humanity.
If the Forests die, we die!
If the bees die, we die!
If the Ocean dies, we die.
If we compare ecology to a baseball game, the situation is this.
It’s the 9th inning and humanity has just played their last play. The score is tied. Nature is up to bat now and their bases are loaded and Nature’s equivalent of Babe Ruth has just stepped up to the plate.
It does not look good.
But then again miracles can happen.
