Gilded Buzz

🦇International Bat Appreciation Day reminds us of the crucial roles bats play in our daily lives: pest control, pollination, forest regeneration 🌳, and more. Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats from human activities: deforestation, mining, and irresponsible tourism, to name a few impacts. Gilded Buzz encourages you to learn more about this amazing group of flying mammals. 🦇

Gilded Buzz celebrates 🎉 National Dolphin 🐬Day to raise awareness and promote conservation efforts for these intelligent mammals. Dolphins need healthy oceans and rivers 💧to thrive. From threats such as plastic and other pollution to climate change, we must protect their marine and freshwater homes.

A WIN FOR WILDLIFE: Florida’s legislature just passed a bill banning the intentional release of balloons - one of the deadliest forms of plastic pollution for ocean wildlife. 🎈

Oceana applauds Senator Nick DiCeglie and State Representative Linda Chaney for their commitment to protecting Florida's shorelines and ocean life. 🐬

Balloons and their plastic ribbons, tie-off disks, clips, and other attachments can be easily ingested and swallowed by endangered sea turtles, seabirds, and other ocean wildlife. In fact, studies show balloons rank among the deadliest ocean plastic for key wildlife and are the deadliest form of plastic debris for seabirds. https://oceana.ly/48Ngfqu

Every year, this global event celebrates the beauty of these massive bears and raises awareness about the threats they face in the Arctic.

Polar bear numbers are quickly declining due to several factors, including climate change, mineral and energy resource explorations, pollution, tourism, disease, parasites, unsustainable levels of hunting, and a depletion of their natural food supplies.

All of these problems are linked to human activity. We have the power to solve these issues and help protect polar bears for future generations. We can reduce our energy use, promote clean transportation, contact government representatives to advocate for policies to combat climate change, and support organizations (like Polar Bears International) making a change.
