When someone asks, 'What's wrong with your face?' But this is how your face normally looks.

Wetlands are one of the most productive and biodiverse habitats in the world. Although they cover only 6 percent of the Earth’s land surface, 40 percent of all plant and animal species live or breed in wetlands. #WetlandsMonth

Tag a friend. If they don't reply in 5 minutes they owe us all one neat nature fact.

The Endangered Species Act was enacted in 1973 to prevent the loss or harm of endangered and threatened species and to preserve the places they live. The ESA is one of the most effective wildlife conservation laws ever, and that is cause for celebration. #EndangeredSpeciesDay

Listed as endangered in 1967, only 23 CA condors existed in the world by 1982. In the first 10 years of the CA Condor Recovery Program hundreds of condors were hatched & raised at CA, OR & ID zoos & released into the wild. Today more than 300 free-flying condors live in the wild.
