The San Diego Zoo is allowing guests to get a rare view into a special place, where some of the smaller multi-legged creatures of the world are rescued. The Arachnid Rescue Center is a section of the Zoo devoted to the care and feeding of invertebrate animals rescued from wildlife trafficking.
“Arachnids face the same threats as all other animals, and illegal smuggling is among them,” said Paige Howorth, San Diego Zoo entomologist. “Most people don’t realize that wildlife trafficking can affect all taxa, including arachnids and other invertebrates.”
The center is home to more than 65 individual arachnids, representing 19 species. Most of the spiders are tarantulas that came to the Zoo after being confiscated from smugglers. Wildlife trafficking, or the illegal poaching and smuggling of animals, plants or their parts, has become a serious conservation issue in the last few years. As wildlife officials work to stem the illegal trade, many accredited zoos, like San Diego Zoo Global, are providing sanctuary for the individual animals that are rescued by authorities.
In addition to tarantulas and scorpions, the center also maintains lesser-known arachnids such as whip spiders and vinegaroons. Guests at the San Diego Zoo’s Children’s Zoo can see the multi-legged residents, and the people who care for them, through large glass windows at the Arachnid Rescue Center.
Bringing species back from the brink of extinction is the goal of San Diego Zoo Global. As a leader in conservation, the work of San Diego Zoo Global includes on-site wildlife conservation efforts (representing both plants and animals) at the San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research, as well as international field programs on six continents. The work of these entities is inspiring children through the San Diego Zoo Kids network, reaching out through the Internet and in children’s hospitals nationwide. The work of San Diego Zoo Global is made possible by the San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy and is supported in part by the Foundation of San Diego Zoo Global.
The 1305 from Bognor Regis is about to complete its journey to Littlehampton on 17th April 2023. Seen arriving into the Seaside town from the A259 Bridge. The 313s will sadly go the same way as the DoDo this time next month

Please, Save This World!
Often an idea that I have or that is suggested to me, is nebulous when I begin photographing it. Yet it "feels right". And often, the full meaning of the concept is not birthed until I begin post-processing it. Then the kneading, the tweaking, the pulling and pushing become almost intuitive and the meaning takes form. The model, the wardrobe, the styling, the lighting, are all crucial ingredients in a confection that truly matures only after it's been completed.
In this image, it's not clear whether the girl is saving the world from extinction or pushing the world into extinction. This raises the question: is man destroying itself or are we being swept away by some unknowable force of nature. What do you think? :)

Mankind is creating the path to its own extinction. Unplanned development, greed, and politics are making it faster and no one is paying attention. Third world countries like Bangladesh is suffering the most, where there is hardly any control and law enforcement from the Governments side and awareness of the people is close to nothing.

The symbol above represents extinction. The circle signifies the planet, while the hourglass inside serves as a warning that time is rapidly running out for many species. The world is currently undergoing a mass extinction event, and this symbol is intended to help raise awareness of the urgent need for change in order to address this crisis. Estimates are that somewhere between 30,000 and 140,000 species are becoming extinct every year in what scientists have named the Holocene, or Sixth Mass Extinction. This ongoing process of destruction is being caused by the impact of human activity. Such a catastrophic loss of biodiversity is highly likely to cause widespread ecosystem collapse and consequently render the planet uninhabitable for humans.

ABOUT THIS SYMBOL
Since its inception the extinction symbol has always been a strictly anti-consumerist project. No extinction symbol merchandise exists, and it never will. The free use of the extinction symbol by individuals in their personal artwork or other forms of expression is strongly welcomed and encouraged, but any form of commercial use of the symbol is completely against its ethos and should therefore be refrained from. Please do not use the symbol on any items that will be sold or for fundraising purposes, nor to endorse any businesses or political organizations. This is an ecological symbol of peaceful resistance. It should definitely not be used for any purposes or ideologies associated with violence, or to promote nuclear energy, GMOs or suchlike, as these things are incompatible with the ethical values of the symbol. There are no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
