Hey everyone, I’m George!
Did you know? Our beautiful blue planet is like a pop-up encyclopedia of wildlife—but its pages are being ripped away. Every second, a forest the size of 3 soccer fields disappears. And every 15 minutes, a species closes its storybook forever. (Data source: WWF & IUCN)

Luna, a giraffe born in Kenya last year, her family has quietly “shrunk” by 40% over the past 30 years. But this isn’t a weight-loss journey—it means 30,000 giraffes have vanished from the African savannah. (Data source: Giraffe Conservation Foundation)

Pangolins are being poached at a rate of one per minute. Rhino horns are three times more expensive than gold on the black market. And one plastic bottle we casually toss away can trick a baby sea turtle into thinking it’s a jellyfish dinner! Every year, 100,000 tons of plastic invade their feeding grounds, the equivalent of stacking up 800 Eiffel Towers! (Data sources: TRAFFIC report & UNEP)

But the scariest monster isn’t the poacher—it’s our "I don’t care" attitude. While coral reefs are fleeing due to rising ocean temperatures, we’re poisoning them with our sunscreen. Every year, a monstrous army of 24 million tons of plastic waste is stuffing 90% of seabirds with colorful “toxic candy.” (Data sources: Science journal research)

But wait! My 10-year-old heart has cracked the superhero code! If every household skips 1 plastic bag, we’ll save 45 soccer fields of floating ice playgrounds for polar bears! Choosing FSC-certified notebooks is like planting a home for 300 blue-and-gold macaws in the Amazon rainforest!

March 3rd isn’t just another date on the calendar—it’s the last riddle the dodo left us. When elephants raise their trunks to the sunset, when snow leopards press their final paw prints onto the glacier, will we just be silent spectators? Or will we become wildlife detectives, armed with magnifying glasses and toolkits?

Starting today, every time you sort your trash, you’re giving a pangolin its armor. Every time you turn off a light, you’re helping a baby penguin build its icy home.

Remember! Protecting wildlife isn’t a task for grown-ups—it’s the fairytale we are writing right now!
