Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThe reason the world is in such a state when it comes to the environment is simple - we have become disconnected from the source of life – the planet which sustains us. Since 1970, two-thirds of global populations of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish have been lost on average, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Environmental destruction - caused by deforestation, unsustainable agriculture and the illegal wildlife trade - is a leading factor in the decline. These numbers can be overwhelming and make us think, what can I do? Well, how we spend our money matters, and my friend Vicki Kiely encourages us all to reconsider visiting zoos and aquariums, because she believes it is inhumane to treat animals this way. An activist for many years, I have such great admiration for the work Vicki does and encourage everyone to really think about this and then act. If you care about nature, speak up and if you have the courage that Vicki does, get involved where it makes sense to you.Thank you so much Vicki for being a voice for the voiceless. I admire you tremendously and I know the work you do is not easy. I will always have your back.You can get in touch with VickiVK Performers Studio, teaching adults & children age 3-18yrsVicki Kiely | LinkedInArticles to readMini Monitors Return to The Cove | Dolphin ProjectZoos are outdated and cruel – it’s time to make them a thing of the past | The Independent | The Independent Zoo battles to save dozens of species from extinction by cryogenically freezing genetic samplesTo get in touch with me, Andrea EdwardsWebsites https://andreatedwards.com/ and https://uncommon-courage.com/ My book Uncommon Courage, An Invitation mybook.to/UncommonCourageAnd the workbook mybook.to/UncommonCourageActionAnd my Facebook Group Uncommon Courage https://www.facebook.com/groups/442905877003333 #UncommonCourage #VickiKielyTo get in touch with me, all of my contact details are here https://linktr.ee/andreatedwards My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
