The rare "Wallace's hawk-eagle" is one the smallest eagles in the world at about 46 cm long. Due to habitat loss, it is listed as "vulnerable" (IUCN)
It can be easily confused with Blyth’s hawk-eagle, and Jerdon's Baza looks very similar, too.
Conservation status (IUCN): VULNERABLE

Maiapio, Pua pilo or Hawaiian caper
Capparidaceae (Caper family)
Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (found inland in dry areas on all the main islands and on Midway Atoll (Pihemanu), Pearl & Hermes Atoll (Holoikauaua) and Laysan (Kauō) in the Northwest Islands)
Status: Vulnerable
Kalaeloa, Oʻahu
Hawaiian Names:
The Hawaiian name maiapilo means "bad smelling banana," likely referring to the scent of banana on some parts of the plant and especially the fruit. The flowers, though, have a wonderful lemony fragrance!
The early Hawaiian common people on Niʻihau referred to the native caper as pilo or puapili, while the chiefs called it maiʻa a Maui, literally "banana of Maui." But, perhaps the most recognized name today is maiapilo.
Maiapilo was apparently used medicinally for healing fractured or broken bones by early Hawaiians. The whole plant would be pounded and applied to body joints, never to the injured area. The milky sap mixed with other ingredients was applied externally to treat boils.
Etymology
The generic name Capparis is from kappari (kάππαρη), the ancient Greek name for this evergreen shrub.
The specific epithet sandwichiana refers to the "Sandwich Islands," as the Hawaiian Islands were once called, and named by James Cook on one of his voyages in the 1770s. James Cook named the islands after John Montagu (The fourth Earl of Sandwich) for supporting Cook's voyages.

Being vulnerable is not about showing the parts of you that are polished; it's about revealing the unpolished parts you would rather keep hidden from the world. ❤

After our first mission to Wadi Ahmed area in the capital Sana'a in which we have seen vulnerable families and IDPs living there in a very bad condition.
We got back to that area again but this time with much more blankets in an attempt by monareliefye.org to help people there.
In our today's mission we could deliver 140 families blankets funded by an anonymous Kuwaiti donor.
Pictures here showing you the real situation of families there.
Facts about Wadi Ahmed area
Wadi Ahmed in the capital Sana'a is located in eastern Sana'a and it is the most populated area in the capital Sana'a.
This area is a full of many vulnerable families and IDPs, who fled from Sa'ada, Taiz and Hajjeh governorates to this area. Most families there are under the level of poverty line, they don't have enough food, or clean water and they don't have any kid of furniture such as beds or blankets, children there are in dire need for everything, they don't have clothes or shoes to wear as most pictures showing you the real situation of families there.
In brief, the Wadi Ahmed area is a full of diseases and most children there don't receive any kind of health care services or any kind of education. I have seen many disabled who living in a very bad situation.
Mona Relief's volunteers conducted a survey for most needy families and IDPs, when we could entered to most houses in that area we shocked for the situation of families there.

This pair is so hard to get photographed together. this shot is a nice record but the distance away (requiring huge cropping) and the against the light situation means it is not great technically.
A pair of wild native falcons have, for the third year in a row, found their way to the innercity wildlife sanctuary Zealandia and are nesting there.
New Zealand's only endemic falcon and the only remaining bird of prey endemic to New Zealand. Other common names for the bird are Bush Hawk and Sparrow Hawk. A member of the Falconidae bird family, the New Zealand Falcon is mainly found in heavy bush and the steep high country in the South Island and is rarely seen north of a line through the central area of the North Island. A small population also breeds on the Auckland Islands. Although protected since 1970, it is considered to be a rare and vulnerable species. Heather and Robertson (Field Guiode to the Birds of New Zealand – Penguin) describe regional variation in the New Zealand falcon “ . . .three forms that differ in size colour and habitats: the ‘Bush Falcon’ of forests of the North Island and Northwestern South Island; the ‘Eastern Falcon’ of the open country of the eastern South Island; and the ‘Southern Falcon’ of coastal Fiordland, Stewart Island and the Auckland Islands”. From this I assume these birds are “bush falcons” and they certainly seem at home flying at high speed through the trees to flush their prey and capture it mid-air. An aggressive bird that displays great violence when defending its territory, the New Zealand Falcon has been reported to attack dogs as well as people.
With a wingspan of about 45 cm and weight rarely exceeding 450g. The male is about two thirds the size of the female.
The New Zealand Falcon nests in a scrape in grassy soil or humus in various locations: under a rock on a steep slope or on a rock ledge, among epiphytic plants on a tree branch, or under a log or branch on the ground, making chicks and eggs vulnerable to predators.
Spring is the season for the Mule Deer Buck to shed his antlers. I watched as this buck crossed the pasture. His head was still bloody from the shed of the antlers. He was very wary of the other deer around him. It seemed as if he was feeling very vulnerable at this moment.
The photo was taken on the road between the Navajo Bridge and Lee's Ferry, just south-west of Page Arizona. I don't like the feeling that the rock is pointing out of the picture, but perhaps that's just me.
As always, if you like the image, please let me know why. Helpful suggestions are always welcome.
In Djibouti, UNEP together with the Ministry of Urbanism, Habitat and Environment and several other partners are reducing the vulnerability to climate change by restoring various types of ecosystems, along with their associated benefits, such as water sources and flood protection. This project is regenerating degraded Acacia woodlands and mangroves, while building infrastructure to combat floods and droughts, including boreholes in dry areas and a dyke in a flood-prone urban zone.

Vulnerability and the fear of showing the true self. Maybe for fear of rejection or perceived weakness.
"I should be strong all the time", "I should be perfect", "I shouldn't let people in".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental_Small-clawed_Otter
The Asian small-clawed otter has a large distribution range, extending from India in South Asia east ward through entire Southeast Asia up to Palawan (Philippines) and Taiwan and southern China in the north (Mason and Macdonald 1986, Wozencraft 1993, Hussain 2000). In recent years, in England it has established itself in the wild after escaping from captivity (Jefferies 1990 and 1991). In India it occurs in the Himalayan foothills of Himachal Pradesh (Kulu), West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh as well as in southern Indian hill ranges of Coorg (Karnataka), Ashambu, Nilgiri and Palni hills (Tamil Nadu) and some places in Kerala (Pocock 1941, Prater 1971, Hussain 2000).
