number of endangered species的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

Thanks to #AustraliaWildfireFund partner Aussie Ark, there’s renewed hope for the Endangered Manning River Turtle, a wildlife species hit hard by the wildfires in Australia. The team recently launched an emergency mission to move a number of adult turtles from their dried-up habitat to larger waterholes, and also rescued 12 eggs that will now be incubated at Australian Reptile Park and then released back into the wild after they hatch. In addition, the team collected three turtles to establish the first-ever Manning River Turtle conservation breeding center for the long-term survival of this special freshwater species. #TurtlePower

When traveling you always expect to visit that place that will blow your minds where you would say “I must come back!”
Yesterday I did a one day trip on Ladyelliot Island , a true coral cay island located at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. Only accessible by small plane, this place is a little treasure. I was lucky to observe some massive #humpback whales from the diving boat, a gorgeous manta ray and snorkeling in the lagoon with a young #Hawksbill turtle, a critically endangered species.
You have the possibility to stay over night on the island by booking in advance as there is a limited amount of rooms to control the number of visitors and protect this little paradise. A must place to visit. 🇦🇺🐋🐠

【為何重視離島街貓TNR】
馬祖的原生鳥類。馬祖民風純樸，地理位置及氣候很適合很多候鳥，再加上馬祖有一個溼地並在列島海域中有豐沛的魚產引來很多不同鳥類在此。而東引的街貓會獵鳥獵魚，但這並不是貓的問題，這是求生本能。而鳥類，也不能因為街貓過多而導致滅亡。我不想見到因為街貓過多後的馬祖會決定捕殺街貓，所以TNR 是唯一可行的辦法。希望可以讓馬祖的原生種鳥類與街貓都可以在不相干擾下生存。(擷取自原文)

為何重視離島街貓TNR
馬祖的原生鳥類。馬祖民風純樸，地理位置及氣候很適合很多候鳥，再加上馬祖有一個溼地並在列島海域中有豐沛的魚產引來很多不同鳥類在此。據我所知，東引的街貓會獵鳥獵魚，但這並不是貓的問題，這是求生本能。而鳥類，也不能因為街貓過多而導致滅亡。我不想見到因為街貓過多後的馬祖會決定捕殺街貓，所以TNR 是唯一可行的辦法。
讓我們一起努力，可以讓馬祖的原生種鳥類與街貓都可以在不相干擾下生存。

【The Cat Paradise Matsu Island TNR Project】
The Cat Paradise Matsu Island TNR project aims to humanely reduce the number of feral cats decimating the wild bird population on the island.

It is estimated that there are 100 or more in the 1st village and volunteers will travel to the Matsu to TNR (Trap Neuter/Spay Release) the cats to prevent them from breeding. The volunteers aim to TNR at least forty of the estimated one hundred feral cats over a four-day period.

★Round 1: Dec 27-31, 2017
3 vets/5 volunteers/23 cats fixed and TNR

★Round 2: Apr 14-17, 2018
5 vets/9 volunteers/target 80-100 cats

Background on Matsu and the feral cat issue:
Matsu Islands are named after the goddess Matsu and are located between Taiwan and China and consist of five major islands and 19 islets. Matsu islands are famous for their historical sites and beautiful scenery. In 1990, the Matsu Islands Bird Sanctuary was created in order to provide protection to thirty species of birds, some of which are critically endangered but threats to their survival remain. One of the threats to the birds in this sanctuary is the high number of feral cats who hunt the birds.

The government has dedicated few resources to reduce the number of feral cats and is opting to reduce their numbers by culling. Culling results in needless killing of cats and alternative methods of population control exist. The humane alternative is to TNR the cats so they are unable to breed thereby resulting in a lower population of cats and reducing the number of birds killed by cats.

If you are interested in this project and would like to learn more or volunteer your time or money, please contact JoAnne at The Cat Paradise.
