The largest
owls on the entire planet are one step away from extinction.
Residing in Russia and Japan, fewer than 1,900 individual
Blakiston's fish owls are left alive in the world, and only
around 400 living completely wild. These creatures are an
awesome sight to behold, with an adult wingspan around six
feet wide — the height of many adult humans! These sweet
animals match up in pairs for life, and they call
back-and-forth to their mates in beautiful "duets" that last
for hours on end. But now, their duets could go completely
silent.
Climate change and
logging-induced habitat loss have been ravaging this species.
Their main homes are inside dead trees within old-growth
forests. But such forests are prime chopping spots for logging
companies eager to gobble up as much timber for profit as
possible. That's why experts are begging government officials
to take action to curb logging in old-growth forests now!
Otherwise, the Blakiston's fish owls will be the world's
largest no more. Tell authorities in Russia and Japan to protect
the critically-endangered Blakiston's fish owls' habitat and
save them before it's too late!
Thank you,

P.S. The
remaining 1,000 or so of these winged creatures could truly be
the last of their kind. Sign the petition to demand that the governments
of Russia and Japan step in to protect the Blakiston fish
owls' habitat now! |
