I also recently learned this fact about the audio that really got to me. After the researchers recorded this, they played it back, then he excitedly flew over, thinking he just heard another ʻōʻō bird.

This will happen to 85% of species if habitat destruction is not stopped and we don't transition to a wild half earth system. Save the biosphere and the planet's ecological heritage.

No my new truck matters more than global south climate victims. I also need yo eat medium rare steak 3 times an hour or endless baby tears will spill forth from my little thumb head. Considered that yet, eco freak?
