It’s always amazing to me that so many endangered species have the word “common” in their name.
Really hammers home how quickly these conservation crises can arise. These animals were common as recently as when we were naming stuff!

🚨 IUCN just rejected a moratorium on genetically engineered species — by one government vote.
Governments: 49.71% yes / 50.29% no
NGOs and IPLCs: 55.75% yes / 44.25% no
Over 100 scientists warned of irreversible ecological risks, but precaution lost to belief in risky technologies.

Moratorium(4 yrs) on intro of genetically engineered organisms into wild defeated by one vote!
Even though we had majority of votes, for motions to pass at IUCN World Congress you need to win both government and NGO categories. We lost the governments vote by one!
Can’t get closer than that.

This creed hasn’t changed: man above beasts, profit above life. We still trade extinction for “growth,” still justify destruction as destiny. This isn’t fringe—it’s mainstream, rooted in 10,000 years of monotheistic dominion.
