This morning we all gathered at the Perth Zoo. Kids were busy running between short spells of watching and admiring the animals and birds in the lovely surroundings they have there now.

And it was good to remember and honour the many wonderful and amazing creatures with whom we share this planet. So many animals like the little capuchins and big orangutangs are under extreme threat to survive as a species, so at least they are safe and cared for here even if conceptually they should be in the wild. But their “wild” is being cut down and destroyed daily…

It amazes me sometimes that the earth still allows us humans to continue to dominate this lovely planet!
