2 months agoI’m sad for the ecosystem and for the pink dolphins. They’ve been dying in startling numbers due to increasing temperatures and drought. I’m glad I got to see them in person during a trip to the Amazon. But it was saddening just thinking there’s a good chance they’ll become functionally extinct within my lifetime.
It’s bad. I remember reading how scientists are rushing to preserve coral samples now and hopefully regrow them at a later time.
