Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm the animated storyteller. This makes storytime fun ... errm but not always, especially when the kids are so tired and they just want to go to bed. And sometimes, I'm also a rule breaker π This happens when I'm reading to my toddler and there are too many words on the page, so I improvise to speed up the process.

World Wildlife Conservation Day is an occasion to be aware, reflect, and take action when it comes to issues that are threatening the planetβs wildlife biodiversity balance. Driven by the demand for illegal animal parts and products on the black market, humans have been hunting, poaching, and slaughtering several wildlife species to the brink of extinction. Here are some not-so-fun facts to mark this day π₯Ί As of now, there are 41,415 species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature red list and 16,306 of them are extremely endangered species. π₯Ί Javan Rhinos are the most critically endangered species β only 67 of them remain! π₯Ί In the last 500 years, human activity has forced 869 species to extinction. π₯Ί Indonesia, China, and India are among the countries with the most threatened mammals and bird species. π₯Ί In a shocking survey, it is found that the wildlife population size dropped by 68% between 1970 and 2018. . . #barkibooks #BarkiTheBrave #barkiandtheforestfire #worldwildlifeconservationday #wildlifeconservation #protectouranimals #animalprotection #wildlifeprotection
