Today we celebrate both #WorldWildlifeDay & #AfricaEnvironmentDay🌍
Did you know that Africa hosts...
🐦1/5 of the world’s bird species
🌱1/6 of the world’s plant species
🦁1/4 of the world’s mammals (the greatest diversity of large mammals in the world too🎉)
Whales play a vital role in the health of our oceans🐋🐳
They contribute to the biological pump and can have a powerful and positive influence on how the oceans function.🌊
