I can't stop crying and I must because crying is no use.
Finally the national news is reporting our drought that is drying up all our lakes/wetlands. Wetlands are absolutely crucial
The biggest lake close to me is Bibra Lake where dozens of long necked tortoise (only come from there and no where else on the planet) live. The Western Long-neck Tortoise..
The photos and story is on the link but our summer in Perth never disappeared. WINTER IS only a couple of weeks away and winter is no where in sight where we live.
FOR PEOPLE who don't know, I am an extreme die-hard animal lover and that includes ALL ANIMALS except sharks and crocodiles who I believe their protection is actually destroying the environment, not contributing to its preservation of other species. I am one that realizes that too many apex predators are bad for the environment but that is a story for another day.
Right now our lakes/wetlands are drying up.
Climate change might not be happening everywhere but it is definitely really bad in Perth... or maybe it's just our turn for a catastrophe... either way, there is a huge knot in my stomach continually.
I AM WORRIED.
