These beautiful iconic rhinoceros once roamed our planet in huge numbers! Illegal wildlife poaching has reduced these creatures numbers to endangered and will most likely some of their species will be extinct within our life times! One was even killed and horn removed inside a zoo in 2017. We must end the illegal wildlife trade that is devastating our planets animals! @WILDAID is making amazing progress at stopping this needless slaughter by reducing the demand! Let's all work hard at ending these needless killings of our wildlife anyway you can! @jim_abernethy #bethevoice #bethechangetheworldneeds #WILDAID #starwith1thing #stoptheslaughter #stopkilling #illigalwildlifetrade #rhinos #rhinos #conservationist #iloverhinos #6 #jimabernethysscubaadventures https://www.instagram.com/p/B3dQmW-JmMX/?igshid=dt2yaluoyly8

Image by @jim_abernethy // Night diving with a gorgeous green turtle here in Florida really makes the dive exceptional! We are blessed to be able to see five of the seven sea turtles in the world here in Palm Beach, Florida! Sadly, six of the seven species are listed as endangered. The seventh is listed as threatened. Hunting, habitat, plastic consumption and the illegal wildlife trade for shells, eggs and meat have caused these iconic ocean creatures to suffer huge population losses. We must take better care of our wildlife as our own existence depends on it. The biodiversity of wildlife is the key to our own survival, as we are all connected! I'm really looking forward to diving Palm Beach County, all weekend on our live-aboard shark expedition vessel focused on Turtles, Goliath Grouper and sharks! You still have time to jump on board!

Let's celebrate World Rhino day by supporting all those rangers, nonprofits and individuals that are at the front lines of protecting them from the poachers that are killing them for money! @jim_abernethy #saverhinos #savewildlife #illigalwildlifetrade #worldrhinoday #stopkilling #jimabernethysscubaadventures (at Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures & Marine Life Art Gallery)

This beautiful blue & Gold Mecaw is just one of millions of gorgeous creatures that are hunted for the illegal wildlife trade. In Brazil alone roughly 85 million animals are taken illegally every single year for the wild animal pet trade. Roughly 80% are birds that only a small percentage survive the terrible conditions of being smuggled into mostly the United States. Many non-profits are fighting this. My favorite is @WildAID! THERE SLOGAN IS "WHEN THE BUYING STOPS, THE KILLING CAN TOO! We must stop this terrible trade that is wiping out our wildlife! @jim_abernethy #beautiful #whenthebuyingstopsthekillingcantoo #bethechangetheworldneeds #wildaid #illigalwildlifetrade #conservation (at Brazil)

Hyacinth Mecaws are one of the most sought after wild parrots in the illegal wildlife trade! 45 of the 145 species of parrots in Central and South America are in danger of Extinction. In the last decade the US has taken in 85 million illegal birds from Central and South America. I large percentage never make it. We must put an end to the illegal wildlife trade. @jim_abernethy #bethevoice #ilovemecaws #illigalwildlifetrade #macaw #hyacinthmacaw #bethechangetheworldneeds #hyacinth #beautiful #gorgeous #naturephotography #jimabernethysscubaadventures

The Beautiful Mecaws are amazingly colorful, but these gorgeous birds are removed from the wild in huge numbers every year by poachers of the illegal wildlife trade. The lucky ones that survive wind up in the pet bird stores all over the world. In Brazil alone roughly 85 million animals are removed yearly. We must do everything we can to take better care of wild nature! @jim_abernethy #protectnature #protectedspecies #saveprotectedanimals #protectthewild #illigalwildlifetrade #bird #conservation #mecaw #scarletmacaw #birds #beautiful #natureart #gorgeous #epicimages #birdsofsouthamerica $birdsofinstagram #petbirds #naturephotography #wild #jimabernethysscubaadventures
