Tiny but mighty 🐛 With 10 quintillion around the globe, insects are Earth's most diverse and essential creatures. From pollinating plants to decomposing matter, their role in ecosystems is unmatched. 💡 Fun fact: Did you know the oldest known insect fossil was found in Scotland, and it's between 408 and 438 million years old? #EarthCapture by @malbafont_macrophotography 📸 1.

Should bear cubs be slaughtered from a helicopter? That’s exactly what the Alaska Department of Fish & Game is trying to do—again. In 2023, 99 bears were slaughtered from helicopters. In 2024, another 80 were killed. Now they want to bring this aerial gunning program back for another one-month killing spree—shooting every bear they see, even mothers with cubs. This isn’t wildlife management. It’s a taxpayer-funded massacre with no sound science, and it’s happening in one of the wildest, most iconic regions of Alaska. As someone who has spent years guiding bear tours and telling their stories, I can’t stay silent. 🛑 Bears don’t have a voice—but we do. 📣 Submit your public comment before July 7 to stop this cruelty. 💬 Comment “save the bears” and I’ll DM you the link. It only takes 2 minutes—and you don’t need to be from Alaska to speak up. 🔁 Please share widely. ⸻ #SaveTheBears #StopAerialGunning #KatmaiNationalPark #KatmaiBears #BrownBear #GrizzlyBear #BearsOfInstagram #AlaskaWildlife #AlaskaNature #ExploreAlaska #WildAlaska #OnlyInAlaska #AlaskaAdventure #AlaskaTravel #BearWatching #BearGuidePerspective #BearPhotography #NatureConservation #WildlifeConservation #ProtectBears #WildlifeProtection #VoiceForTheVoiceless #natgeo #natgeowild #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #wildlifephotography #ursus
