I'm a woman, a teacher of English in Portugal, and I've been away for quite a long time because of my father's health. Unfortunately he died from Covid19 a few months ago. Now I felt it was time to restart my activity in this and other blogs I owe. I've recently created a new one in a partnership with a street photographer, Mr. Daniel Antunes. He's fabulous! https://pandpbydandd.blogspot.com I'd like you to visit it and, who knows, become our followers. The poems, chronicles and thoughts are all mine. Thank you so much! Kisses :-)

World's great predators in decline

Wolf

Three quarters of the world's large carnivores, the likes of lions, wolves and bears are in massive decline, according to a new study.

Scientists studied the world's 31 biggest meat eaters and found three in every four were at risk.
They found animals were worst affected in the Amazon, south-east Asia, and southern and east Africa.
"Globally, we are losing our large carnivores," said lead researcher Professor William Ripple from the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society at Oregon State University in the US.
He said: "Many of these animals are at risk of extinction, either locally or globally."
The scientists say the decline is due to the animals losing their habitat, being hunted by humans, and not being able to find enough food.
