National Wildlife Day was Sept 4th! Let's celebrate the wild wonders that make Earth spectacular. From elephants who fight climate change to squirrels secretly running the forest economy, wildlife has some seriously amazing superpowers. | | African forest elephants chow down on small, low-carbon trees. By clearing them out, they make space for giant, carbon-rich trees to grow–helping the planet fight climate change just by snacking. How to help: Support sanctuaries like Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where orphaned elephants are rescued, rehabilitated, and rewilded. | | A brand-new species of butterfly was recently discovered, showing us that Earth still has secrets up her sleeve. Even more amazing–species once thought extinct (like certain geckos and frogs) are being rediscovered. Translation: there's still hope when we protect wild places. How to help: Donate to groups like Rainforest Trust, which safeguards habitats where these rediscoveries happen. | | Squirrels bury thousands of nuts every fall–but forget where they hid up to 70% of them. The result? Entire forests spring up thanks to squirrel "oopsies." Nutasha swears this is not forgetfulness, but a calculated reforestation strategy.
How to help: Plant native trees in your area or join a local habitat restoration project–be the human version of Nutasha. | | Tiny ocean microbes actually eat methane (a potent greenhouse gas), preventing tons of it from reaching the atmosphere. Wildlife doesn't just survive–it keeps the planet balanced in ways we're still discovering. How to help: Support marine sanctuaries like Oceana that protect ocean ecosystems (aka microbial buffets). | | Every sparrow, pigeon, and hawk you see? A living dinosaur. Birds are direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs (the group that included T. rex). So yeah–next time a goose chases you, remember it's channeling Jurassic Park energy. How to help: Support bird sanctuaries like The Raptor Trust, which rescues and rehabilitates injured wild birds. | | Here's how you can make a difference: Support wildlife sanctuaries and rescue centers - Plant native flowers and trees
- Reduce single-use plastics
- Share wildlife facts to spread awareness
| | And that's our lil Weekly Nut, friends! Nutasha and I are heading out to plant some oak trees (accidentally, of course). Remember: every snack you forget could be a forest tomorrow! We squirrels may be small, but our paw prints leave a big impact. So if you've got hands, paws, or even flippers, use 'em for good--plant, protect, and celebrate the wild world we all share. Nutasha says if we all pitch in, we'll have enough trees for future squirrels and humans to climb. And maybe even a few extra branches for our wedding venue.
Oh, and fun fact–Nutasha swears squirrels actually invented National Wildlife Day. The humans just…
took the credit.
Your Friend, | | The "Accidental tree planting" Squirrel | | Wait… Really? You're already looking for the Unsubscribe. button? Well, just know we have a pigeon army, and they WILL find you. But go ahead… Hit that button and see what happens.
