My favorite kind of characters are those goofball, comic relief characters that are very happy and nice. then we learn bit by bit about them and their underlying traits, maybe some self esteem issues, maybe why they’re so happy and optimistic. they get some character development here and there and maybe a bit of subplot revolving around them

and then we see them break

Europe Once Had Bison, and now They’re Making a Comeback
           

Just like their American cousins, the bison needed help after their numbers were decimated by habitat loss and hunting

by Marissa Fessenden

The iconic bison of the American plains
isn’t the only large hoofed beast humans have hunted to near
extinction. Wild European bison, also called wisent, are returning to
the lands they dominated in the Pleistocene, thanks to conservation
efforts, reports Jeremy Hance for Mongabay.

Poachers killed the last wild European bison (Bison bonasus)
in 1927, leaving only a handful of the animals in zoos. Today, however,
more than 5,000 bison living in Europe, including 2,300 free-ranging
animals, Hance reports. Historically, the animals have ranged from
France to far into Russia, from Scandinavia to perhaps as far south as
Italy.

I can’t not reblog.

I care too much.

reblogging this to remind myself to donate when I get my purse 

reblogging this because I really want them to live like we do.

A MUST TO REBLOG

PLEASE REBLOG. I don’t care if it’s truth or not. But it may be, and you have to understand that this is REALLY important. When you get your hands dirty you just go to the bathroom and clean them. Well this people can’t, and they can’t shower either. And they need that water to drink it, and to stay alive. There’s people out there suffering, and just by reblogging you can help them. So please, I don’t care if this doesn’t fit your blog, this is actually worth it.

theastrarium:

“This feeling of being lonely and very temporary visitors in the universe is in flat contradiction to everything known about man (and all other living organisms) in the sciences. We do not ‘come into’ this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean ‘waves,’ the universe ‘peoples.’ Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe. This fact is rarely, if ever, experienced by most individuals. Even those who know it to be true in theory do not sense or feel it, but continue to be aware of themselves as isolated ‘egos’ inside bags of skin.

The first result of this illusion is that our attitude to the world ‚outside’ us is largely hostile. We are forever ‚conquering’ nature, space, mountains, deserts, bacteria, and insects instead of learning to cooperate with them in a harmonious order.”
