Sad news

This is really sad and depressing news. Reports of Congolese Rebels eating Mountain gorillas. This article also contains a graphic image that may disturb some.

Also more bad news, 30% of Fish Species in China’s Yellow River are Extinct. Due to overfishing and pollution among others.

Bad news for orangs

This is not good news for orangutans. Intentional forest fires in Indonesia killed up to a thousand orangutans this year. If this continues, they may be extinct within the decade.

Rhino

The West African black rhino is now feared to be extinct, announced the IUCN last week.
