Artificial light disrupts species that rely on the moon and stars for navigation, such as moths, which pollinate plants after dark. Moths can become trapped in disorienting loops around artificial lights, making them easy prey and less able to pollinate or reproduce. Light pollution also increases the risk for species like bats and amphibians by making them more vulnerable to predators, disrupting their physiological processes, and altering natural behaviors. These species play vital roles in controlling insect populations, pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds, all of which are essential for healthy ecosystems. ??Every light turned off or redirected helps reduce the harmful effects of light pollution and supports wildlife. ??

Fires currently raging in the Chiquitania region are the most visible and immediate threat to animals and their habitats in Bolivia. With over 7.2 million hectares of forest consumed in 2024, the devastation already far exceeds historic fires of 2019 (4.2 million hectares). Loss of life for those that can’t outrun, outfly, or outswim the flames is staggering. Millions that manage to escape will undoubtedly suffer without access to food, water, and shelter as their ecosystems are destroyed. Millions more will suffer long-term health and behavioral consequences of inhaling smoke. Importantly, fires are not “natural,” or “normal” in these ecosystems, nor accidental. In fact, a vast majority were intentionally ignited by humans to expand agricultural land and provoked by laws that favor industrial agro-business over forests - a recurring symptom of a system that sacrifices irreplaceable natural resources for unsustainable economic gains.

In the complex world of Animal and Environmental Law and Policy, various frameworks provide distinct yet sometimes overlapping perspectives. Understanding them can help you craft better strategies, define success, and advance meaningful change: ?? Animal Rights asserts that animals have inherent rights, similar to human rights, which should be recognized and respected. It advocates for the recognition of animals as beings with intrinsic value, emphasizing that their well-being and interests should be prioritized irrespective of their utility to humans. ?? Animal Welfare seeks to ensure that animals are treated humanely and live in conditions that meet their physical and psychological needs. It often involves regulatory measures and standards to improve the quality of life for animals, emphasizing humane treatment and protection. ??Rights of Nature asserts that nature itself has rights, and that ecosystems and species should be recognized as entities with legal standing. It aims to safeguard natural systems and biodiversity, advocating for the legal recognition of nature’s intrinsic value and the protection of natural ecosystems. ?? Earth Jurisprudence treats Earth as a living entity with its own rights and legal standing. It promotes a paradigm shift in how we interact with the planet, encouraging legal systems to integrate ecological balance and respect for all life forms into their frameworks. It seeks to redefine human laws to align with the health and sustainability of the planet. At Defend Them All, we believe that animals deserve to be represented when their interests are at stake. Whether through a rights-based or welfare-focused approach, we’re committed to advancing systemic change. Join us in supporting advocates defending animals and their habitats.
