To all the species of bears that try to survive in this planet and to all the species of animals that share the land, the sea and the air with us, the in-sapiens (thanks, Lynn Margulys, for this so good definition!), vulgarly known as "men".

Because we stop being sapiens in the moment in which we became hangmen (for ignorance or for indifference; for action or for omission) of hundreds of thousands of species, and in the moment in which we decide to act as that frenchman who went down in history as King Sun and who said that so responsible and generous "Après moi, le deluge. " Or what is the same “After me, the Flood.”

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, more than 16.000  animals and plants are endangered species. The reasons is necessary to look for them in the human activity. We are the direct or indirect responsibles for the destruction, in spite of being only ONE of the of fifteen million animals and plants species that it is calculated to live in the Earth, we have taken control of it. We are its "owners and gentlemen ". Owners and irresponsible, selfish and wasteful gentlemen.

We have pushed this marvel called  Biodiversity to the limit of the precipice and we are dragging it towards it without any remorse.

Polar bears, brown bears, tigers, rhinoceroses or sharks are some of the animal species that are endangered. The IUCN predicts that many of them will live less than 50 years  on our planet, which is also their planet.

Until today, the experts are sure that nearly 784 species are extinct. Other 65 can only  be in captivity (as the white tiger of  India) or in some botanical gardens, if it is a question of trees or flowers.

An incredible achievement this one from the in-sapiens!

Of all of them, maybe polar bear is the most threatened one on the world.


Because of the pollution, the temperature of the planet is increasingly rising. The climatic change is causing the smelting of the ice of the Artic, their only world.
