Conservation is mostly concerned with populations of animals, not individuals. I know that, and I can tell myself that all day long, but it didn't make the night I found this civet any easier.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We were in a village surveying for herps and the villagers told us they had a mongoose in a bag, but getting a mongoose out of a jute sack was going to be risking some skin. Wasn't looking forward to it, but when I got to the bag there was no snarling mongoose, just this adorable baby civet. Turns out it was abandoned, most likely because the mother was killed somehow and it immediately imprinted on us. Attempts to release it were met with a scuttling, crying, incredibly lovable ball of fluff running after us and climbing up my leg. I was smitten. What could I do though? There weren't any rehab centers around, I'm getting really tired of being accused of poaching things, and there was no way it was going to survive on its own. I tried to feed it to no avail, but it did take some water. I walked around for a while with it perched on my shoulder like a parrot, trying to find it's mother but all I found were 2 jungle cats waiting for me to release their next meal. This little girl fell asleep in my arms. She trusted me. She deserved better than to be ripped limb from limb by a pair of jungle cats. But I was left with no other option. I couldn't risk bringing it to the city and have another ignorant asshole try to get the arrested. So I had to leave her. I climbed a tree and put her in a nest of leaves to wait out the night, shed a tear, and hoped for the best.

This species isn't threatened, predators need to eat too, and this juvenile individual is going to be part of the cycle of life either that night, the next day, or 4 years from now. I shouldn't cry over it, but I'm human. I know what's right and I did exactly that, but that was one of the harder things I've had to do. When something or someone completely puts their trust in you, it's tough for logic to override what makes me human. But I've found that's just part of being a conservationist. This job requires thick skin.
As consumers, we have the power to decide on what succeeds and what fails. The things we buy, trends we follow and actions we take all have influence on others and force larger companies to look at how they are doing business and what needs to change. Before buying something, do your research, think about where it came from, what’s it made of and who made it? Ask yourself if supporting this business and it’s ideologies is contributing to a better world with healthy, happy people or not? It is the choices we make today that directly effect our tomorrow.♻️ #pickrepublik ⠀

Algunas personas somos veganas porque queremos un mundo sin jaulas, donde ningún
individuo tenga que sufrir la discriminación, la violencia, la explotación, la opresión, y donde les humanes podamos recuperar nuestro lugar en la naturaleza, junto al resto de nuestras compañeras y nuestros compañeros de cuatro patas, de alas, de aletas. Queremos restablecer el equilibrio, curar la herida. Cualquier otra salida nos parece simplemente insuficiente. Aceptar otro desenlace para esta guerra es claudicar.
Sobretodo todo cuando por el camino se han quedado tantes compañeres, que dieron sus vidas por acercar un poquito más ese mundo que nos dijeron imposible, y a les que creemos que les debemos, como mínimo, lealtad, memoria y perseverancia.

Happy first day of summer and first day of @slowfashionseason!!! A bunch of you guys, myself, and over 10,000 other people are going to go 3 months without purchasing any new clothes, and instead mend, borrow, swap, thrift, and simply use what we already have. Together we are going to save so much water, energy, and textile waste and I am so so pumped about it. I tagged all of you that reached out the other day, and if you didn’t reach out but want to join, please do! Let’s inspire each other by sharing our creativity, big wins, little wins, and maybe even losses - we’re in it together! ❤️❤️

To celebrate here’s a pic of me in my thrifted sweater and shoes, swapped shirt and pants, and the prettiest stoop I’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting on

"But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything" #alanwatts "Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods" #Johnmuir
A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise. #Aldoleopold
