Tell the Phoenix Zoo: Stop Waiting for Indu the Elephant to Die—Release Her Now!
Phoenix Zoo Ends Elephant Exhibit as Indu Faces Uncertain Future
The Phoenix Zoo has been thrust into the spotlight after being ranked among the worst zoos in the country for elephant care.
According to KJZZ, the advocacy group In Defense of Animals listed Phoenix Zoo as the 10th worst in North America for elephant welfare in 2024. This designation follows years of criticism regarding the treatment of Indu, the zoo's sole elephant.
​
Indu's Struggle in Captivity
Indu, a 59-year-old Asian elephant, has been at Phoenix Zoo since 1998. Her enclosure, shared intermittently with a rhinoceros, has been criticized for being too small and lacking adequate social interaction.
In a statement, [Courtney Scott, elephant consultant](https://www.idausa.org/about/team/) for In Defense of Animals, said, “At 59 years old, isolated Indu could still have many good years ahead if released to a sanctuary where she can experience friendships with other elephants, roam larger spaces, forage freely and have a chance to reverse her premature decline.”
Zoo's Response and Plans
In response to the criticism, the Phoenix Zoo has announced that it will shut down the elephant exhibit once Indu passes away.
“We are not planning to exhibit more Asian elephants in that current space. We are going to be converting that to greater one-horned rhinoceros, which lives solitarily, and they are going to be occupying those exhibits,” Dr. Gary West, Senior Vice President of Animal Health and Living Collections at the zoo, told KJZZ.
Despite these plans, the zoo disputes the claims of poor welfare.
“The Phoenix Zoo remains dedicated to providing a safe and enriching environment for all of our animals while providing the highest standards of care,” a spokesperson for the zoo told , AZFamily. They also highlighted that the exhibit size was doubled before the 2024 ranking, expanding to six acres, though critics argue this remains insufficient for elephants.
The Pacific coastline along the U.S./Mexico border is steeped in rich multi-cultural identities, contains immense biodiversity, and contributes high economic value to both countries. Yet, this region is plagued by severe pollution in the Tijuana River Watershed - homeland of the Kumeyaay Nation - that threatens public health, limits coastal access, hurts ecosystems and wildlife, and jeopardizes local economies and national security.
​
We urgently appeal to President Trump to fulfill his commitment to protect the environment, clean water, military personnel, national security, and public safety for all people.
Every day, millions of gallons of untreated sewage, industrial waste, and trash flow across the U.S./Mexico border, impacting 20 miles of international coastline and millions of people who live in, work in, and visit this region. The toxic flows cause beach closures in South San Diego County and widespread illnesses on both sides of the border. Some beaches have been closed for over 1,200 consecutive days and counting! This is a grave public health crisis and one of the most significant environmental catastrophes in the United States.
Please take a moment and sign the petition below to call on the Trump Administration to declare a national emergency to provide the interagency coordination, funding, and resources needed to address this crisis and provide relief to the affected communities.
Yellowstone’s Bison: Gunned Down & Sent to Bloody Slaughterhouses
Right now, iconic, sentient wild bison who have roamed this land for thousands of years are being rounded up and killed in Yellowstone National Park. This is not “management.” It’s a killing operation that sacrifices wild animals for the interests of the cattle industry. Urge Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte and Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly to end this cruel plan and protect wild bison from slaughter.
Stop Drax! Millions of Animal Forest Homes Slated for Wood Pellets
A monstrous deforestation project is afoot that would obliterate 1.7 million acres of precious forests in California and Oregon — destroying millions of wild animal homes and releasing more pollution than coal. We must act now to stop Drax’s project before it begins!
If you see me in your garden, give me food and water.
Raw meat without salt, ground beef, I also eat chicken nuggets or canned meat but not fish.
Don't give me milk because it gives me stomach problems and I will die of dehydration. I am naive and as soon as I see milk I drink!
Don't throw pesticides and don't set traps..... I am NOT a DANGER for you but for the spoons and snakes in your garden!
I am your garden helper, because I eat all the insects that attack your vegetables.
If you see me on the road, don't run and kill me REMEMBER I am also easily frightened and I am also hurt by your blows.
Help me cross the road safely and find a field or plot.
My species is disappearing. Help me to survive... Be kind and help me.
This heartbreaking image shows Joseph Wachira comforting Sudan, the world’s last male white rhino, in his final moments on Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy.
The photo, which later won the People’s Choice Award in the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, speaks volumes.
Sudan, who died of age-related complications, was not only the last of his kind, but also a symbol of humanity’s impact on the planet.
Ultimately, his death marked the heartbreaking end of an entire subspecies. Let Sudan’s death be a wake-up call. Conservation is not just about saving animals, it’s about preserving our shared future. Image via the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.

In March, EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers announced plans to weaken which types of waters are protected under the Clean Water Act.
Our new paper focused on drinking water explains why protecting all our water resources—including streams and wetlands—is essential to safeguarding our drinking water.
In 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Sackett v. EPA decision removed up to 63% of protections from wetlands and thousands of miles of streams. Now polluters and developers want to weaken these protections even more.
But science tells us that all water is connected. Protecting streams, wetlands, and other water bodies is a commonsense way to safeguard downstream drinking water sources.
Preventing the pollution and destruction of wetlands and streams doesn’t just help the environment, it improves source water quality, protects public health, and lowers costs for water systems and their customers.
​
Here’s what you can do:
Right now, EPA is accepting public comments on which bodies of water are protected under the Clean Water Act. Urge EPA to do more to safeguard our drinking water by protecting essential streams, wetlands, and other water resources.

The American red wolf, the rarest wolf species in North America, is facing a high risk of extinction. With only about 35 individuals remaining in the wild, primarily in North Carolina, they are considered the rarest large carnivore in the United States. Their survival is threatened by habitat loss, vehicle collisions, and human-related issues.
Elaboration:
-
Critical Endangered Status: The American red wolf is the most critically endangered wolf in the world.
-
​
-
Small Wild Population: Only a small population survives in the wild, confined to the coastal areas of North Carolina.
-
​
-
Historical Range: Historically, they were found throughout the southeastern United States.
-
​
-
Threats: Habitat loss, vehicle collisions, and human-related issues, such as poaching and killings, are major threats to their survival.
-
​
-
Conservation Efforts: Organizations like the Endangered Wolf Center and others are working on captive breeding programs and reintroduction efforts to help recover the species.
​
-
Political Instability: Red wolves are also facing political threats, with some groups pushing for their de-listing from the Endangered Species Act, which would severely jeopardize their future, according to Mission:Wolf.
​
-
Wildlife crossings are crucial for saving red wolves from extinction because they provide safe passage across roads and highways, which are a major cause of red wolf mortality. Vehicle collisions are a leading cause of death for this critically endangered species. By constructing wildlife crossings, we can reduce the risk of these collisions and help the red wolf population recover, as noted by Environmental Action.
​
Why Wildlife Crossings Matter for Red Wolves:
-
Reduced Vehicle Strikes:
-
Vehicle collisions are a significant threat to red wolves, especially in areas with high traffic and limited habitat.
-
Improved Habitat Connectivity:
-
Crossings help connect fragmented habitats, allowing wolves to move between breeding territories, forage, and access resources.
-
Increased Genetic Diversity:
-
By facilitating movement between populations, crossings can promote genetic exchange and reduce the risk of inbreeding.
Support for Recovery Efforts:
-
Wildlife crossings are a key component of the red wolf recovery program, working in conjunction with captive breeding and habitat restoration.
-
Taking Action:
Support Wildlife Crossing Projects:
-
Advocate for the funding and implementation of wildlife crossings in areas where red wolves and other wildlife are at risk.
Contact Elected Officials:
-
Encourage your representatives to support legislation and policies that protect red wolves and their habitat.
Donate to Conservation Organizations:
-
Support organizations that are actively working to conserve red wolves and their habitat, such as the Red Wolf Coalition and Defenders of Wildlife.
Spread Awareness:
-
Educate others about the plight of the red wolf and the importance of wildlife crossings.
Examples of Wildlife Crossing Initiatives:
-
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Pilot Program: The FHWA has established a program to support the construction of wildlife crossings across the country, including in North Carolina, where red wolves are found.
-
North Carolina DOT Project: A $25 million federal grant is helping the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) build wildlife crossings along a critical stretch of U.S. 64, a known hotspot for red wolf vehicle collisions. Note: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is collaborating with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) on several wildlife crossing projects, including a $25 million project on US-64 through Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, with a focus on protecting the endangered red wolf. This project, part of the Federal Highway Administration's Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program, will involve building 11 wildlife underpasses and fencing to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and improve habitat connectivity.
Key aspects of the project:
Focus on Red Wolf:
The project specifically aims to protect the critically endangered red wolf, with several red wolf deaths reported on US-64 in recent years.
Funding:
The project is funded by a $25 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration's Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program, with additional potential for leveraging funds from other sources.
Specific Location:
The project is focused on US-64 through Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, an area identified as a hotspot for wildlife-vehicle collisions.
Type of Crossings:
The project will involve constructing 11 wildlife underpasses of varying sizes and installing fencing to deter animals from crossing the highway.
Benefits:
The project aims to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions, improve habitat connectivity, and ultimately contribute to the conservation of the red wolf and other wildlife species
-
By working together to protect red wolves and their habitat, we can help ensure their survival and restore them to their former range, says the Center for Biological Diversity.
The Decline of Forests in the United States Over Time
This historical map visualization illustrates the dramatic reduction of forest cover in the United States between 1620 and 1920. The green areas represent forested regions, which significantly shrink over time due to colonization, industrial expansion, agriculture, and urban development.
1620: Before European settlement, much of the U.S. was covered in dense forests, especially in the East, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest.
1850: Deforestation accelerated due to westward expansion, timber harvesting, and land clearing for agriculture.
1920: By the early 20th century, large swaths of forests were lost, particularly in the Great Plains and Eastern regions, as industrialization and farming reshaped the landscape.
While conservation efforts and reforestation programs have since helped restore some forests, this map serves as a stark reminder of human impact on natural ecosystems and the need for sustainable environmental practices.

Can you hear me?
I’m just a bee—one of the few left. I used to dance through fields of lavender, sunflowers, and wild daisies, weaving between color and scent. But now… the flowers are gone. The silence is growing. Every morning, fewer of us return.
I wasn’t meant to cry. Bees don’t weep. But if we could, we would flood your streets with tears of petals and pollen—for all we’ve lost… and all we still might lose.
You may not notice when we disappear. We’re so small. But your trees will notice. Your fruits, your gardens, your future will notice. And your children will ask, “Why is it so quiet?”
Please… don’t let that happen.
There’s still time. I’m still here. Some of us are.
Plant something wild. Leave your soil messy. Let the weeds bloom. Talk to your friends. Change just one thing. Because even the smallest act of kindness might become the last reason we survive.
I’m not asking you to save me for me. I’m asking you to save us—for you.
We were never separate. We never will be.
Save the bees…
And you might just save the last flower worth remembering.
If you see a bee of any description on the floor or not flying other than on a flowering plant, it is STARVING! You can help.
We are currently well into the 'June Gap' - the time between when the Spring flowering plants stop and the Autumn flowers start producing pollen and nectar.
You can help by mixing two parts sugar to one part water and offering the syrup to the bee. She (and they are mostly ladies) will happily drink from a teaspoon. You'll see her little black tongue as she drinks. It will take about 10 minutes for her to convert the syrup to energy, but she will fly away if you've helped her in time. The feeling you get on seeing her recovery and flight is well worth your time.
PLEASE NOTE - This is a temporary measure and 'First Aid' only. The Bees need diversity in their diet and need to pollinate plants in their search for food. I'm not suggesting we feed sugar to Bees as a regular thing.
NO HONEY PLEASE - Disease can be spread easily from colony to colony through this practice and you will do more damage than good. White sugar and water only please x
They can't thank you, so I will on their behalf.
Thanks a million xx
Scientists have unveiled a new food source designed to sustain honey bee colonies indefinitely without natural pollen.
This innovation contains all the nutrients honey bees need. It's expected to become a potent strategy for combating the escalating rates of colony collapse and safeguarding global food supplies reliant on bee pollination.

Bees can recognize human faces, thanks to their remarkable visual processing abilities.
​
Studies have shown that they can learn to distinguish different faces, even recognizing their beekeepers, and remember these faces for several days, according to a report from Science | AAAS. They achieve this by using a form of "configural processing," where they piece together the arrangement of facial features to form a recognizable pattern, similar to how humans do, according to a report from The New York Times

Ladybugs vs. Pesticides: A Garden’s Tiny Heroes Need Your Help!
Did you know that ladybugs are like nature’s pest control squad? These spotted superheroes munch on aphids and protect your plants—for free! But when we reach for chemical sprays, we might accidentally harm our garden’s best allies.
Here’s the buzz:
The Good: A single ladybug can devour 50+ aphids a day! They’re a gardener’s secret weapon for keeping plants healthy.
The Bad: Harsh pesticides don’t just target pests—they also weaken or kill ladybugs, disrupting nature’s balance.
Why It Matters
- Chemicals can leave ladybugs disoriented, sick, or unable to reproduce.
- Fewer ladybugs = more aphids = unhappy plants!
- Healthy ecosystems thrive when we work with nature, not against it.
Garden Smarter, Not Harder:
Skip synthetic sprays – try neem oil, soap solutions, or introducing more ladybugs!
Plant diversity – herbs like dill and cilantro attract beneficial insects.
Embrace a few aphids – they’re ladybug food! A balanced garden self-regulates.

A Mother’s Love Shouldn’t Be Poisoned
THIS IS THE HIDDEN COST OF “FAST-ACTING” RODENT KILLERS.
A mother robin’s instinct is to feed her chicks—not poison them. But rodenticides don’t stop at rats. They climb the food chain, turning beetles, worms, and even birds into innocent victims of our war on pests.
The Silent Chain of Harm:
- Rats eat poison, but rarely die instantly—they stagger outdoors, becoming easy prey.
- Birds, foxes, and pets then eat toxin-laced rodents or insects.
- 1 dose can kill an entire nest of chicks… or a family of owls.
“BUT I ONLY USED IT IN MY GARAGE!”
Poison doesn’t stay put. It seeps into ecosystems, turning gardeners’ good intentions into unintended tragedies.
Safer Solutions for Gardeners:
Snap traps (check daily, dispose responsibly).
Secure compost bins to deter rodents naturally.
Plant mint or daffodils—rodent-repelling greens!
Support barn owls with nest boxes—they’re nature’s pest control.
Break the cycle. Let’s protect all lives in our gardens—not just the ones we see.

Some interesting facts about bees
Here are 20 interesting facts about the importance of honey and bees:
1. Did you know that honey never spoils? Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible!
2. Did you know bees are essential for growing many of our foods? They pollinate about one-third of the food we eat, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
3. Did you know honey has natural healing properties? It can help soothe sore throats and even speed up the healing of wounds and burns due to its antibacterial qualities.
4. Did you know bees produce a tiny amount of honey in their lifetime? A single worker bee produces only about 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in her entire life, but together they make a lot!
5. Did you know bees communicate through dancing? They perform a "waggle dance" to tell other bees where to find the best flowers.
6. Did you know honey can help your brain? It contains antioxidants that may support brain health and improve memory.
7. Did you know beeswax, made by bees, is used in many everyday products?** It's found in things like candles, lip balm, and even some types of food packaging.
8. Did you know honey can be a natural energy booster? It provides a quick source of energy because it's packed with natural sugars.
9. Did you know there are over 300 types of honey in the United States alone? The flavor, color, and aroma depend on the flowers that bees visit.
10. Did you know that beekeeping helps many communities around the world? It provides income, supports agriculture, and helps improve food security in many regions.
11. Did you know honey can be used as a natural preservative? Because of its antibacterial properties, honey has been used to preserve fruits and other foods for centuries.
12. Did you know that some bees can recognize human faces? Studies have shown that honeybees can remember and recognize human faces, much like they remember different
Bees (Clade Anthophila): One out of every three bites of food we eat is a result of Pollinators like Honey Bees (genus Apis).
Crops like blueberries and cherries are 90 per cent dependent on pollination. Honey bees are so important that farmers often have bee hives transported and then placed on their farm to provide pollination for their crops.
If you look at the plate of food on your dinner table, bees have played their part either pollinating the many vegetables and fruits we eat directly, or pollinating the food for the animals that we then consume. And that’s not all bees do for us - honey and wax are two other important products that come courtesy of bees.
But honey bees are disappearing globally at an alarming rate due to pesticides, parasites, disease, habitat and Biodiversity loss. If these little insects that help provide so much of the food we eat were to vanish, what would we do without them?
Lot of honey bees lose their way at times due to the mobile network towers and other radiation around our residences. The simplest thing you could do is put tired bees onto flowers, where they may be able to find nectar which, unlike sugar solution, contains nutrients they need. In a matter of a few minutes the bee will sip it up and fly back. Try it..!!
Planting locally native flowering Plants around your home or garden if you have one helps provide forage for bees and pollinators.. Words are like bees!!!some create honey and others leave a sting.

The Buzz about BeesHow to Truly Help Bees: A Beekeeper’s Advice
As a beekeeper, I strongly advise against leaving out fruit for bees.While it may seem like a kind gesture, fruit left in the sun or shade quickly develops harmful bacteria, which can be dangerous for bees. If they collect contaminated food and bring it back to the hive, it can compromise their stored honey and potentially harm the entire colony.
If you truly want to support bees, the best thing you can do is set up a proper watering station. Simply place a shallow dish of fresh water with small rocks or sticks inside, creating safe landing spots to prevent them from drowning.
For an even greater benefit, add a pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt to the water. This specific type of salt contains essential minerals that bees naturally seek out. These minerals help bees regulate their hive’s internal temperature, maintaining a steady 90°F—a critical factor for honey production and raising their young.
However, please do not feed bees directly—beekeepers strongly discourage this practice. Bees thrive best when they collect their own food from natural sources, which strengthens their immune systems and supports their overall health.
By providing clean, mineral-rich water, you’re offering bees exactly what they need to thrive—in a way that truly benefits them and the environment!
While furbearer trapping seasons in Wyoming typically end April 30th, badgers can be trapped every single day of the year—and traps don’t read regulations. Every jaw-style or body-gripping trap is blind to species, leaving non-target wildlife (and even pets) at risk.
At Wyoming Untrapped, we believe every creature deserves a chance to roam free and fulfill its place in our wild landscapes. Did you know:
-Badgers are ecosystem engineers, digging complex burrow systems that benefit everything from burrowing owls to amphibians.
-A single American badger can move over 2,000 pounds of soil in one night—talk about a home-renovation pro!
-Despite their fierce reputation, badgers are shy, largely nocturnal, and play a vital role controlling rodent populations.
Year-round trapping of badgers threatens not just them but the delicate web of life they support.

Trophy Hunting: The moral implications of killing animals for “sport”
https://dailycampus.com/.../trophy-hunting-the-moral.../
“The problem lies in considering taking the life of an animal is an “achievement” to begin with. Trophy hunting regards wildlife as a commodity and renders animals as some sort of play-toy to be conquered and thrown around by humans. It’s a highly anthropocentric view of the world — the belief that the purpose of everything in our universe is for the benefit of humans and doesn’t exist autonomously.”
