Go join the ZoosSavingSpecies. The professional zoo community is making a huge push to up their educational work on social media and that’s a great place to learn from.

Worth reblogging.
Holy hell. I’ve seen golden lion tamarins a couple of times in zoos and somehow I wasn’t aware there were so few of them. The idea that they could have gone extinct already is bewildering.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
