Why Do We Need Wildlife Corridors?

Late last year, people around the world mourned the death of P-22, a geriatric male mountain lion (Puma concolor) who spent the bulk of his life as the lone member of his species in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park. He had been acting unusually aggressively, and wildlife officials captured him to examine whether health issues might be to blame. Ultimately it was found that the kindest thing to do for him was euthanasia, as he was suffering from several conditions, to include injuries from being hit by a car. But his death was not entirely in vain, for he brought the issue of wildlife corridors to greater prominence.

P-22 lived in the heart of a major metropolitan area crisscrossed by many busy highways. Born in the Santa Monica Mountains, he had made the journey across two of these freeways to get to his ultimate territory of Griffith Park. While he was able to migrate safely, many other wild animals have met their deaths on these and other highways across the United States and beyond. And with every highway expansion, new subdivision, and other development, wildlife habitats become more and more fragmented, putting migrating animals in serious danger.

hi mutuals im currently obsessing with elsa schiaparelli so let’s take a moment to appreciate the absolute cuntiness of her perfume bottles

this first one is called shocking and was released on 1937, its said to have a musky, honey and slightly powdery smell.

this second one is called sleeping and was released on 1938. among its notes we find bergamot, magnolias, sandalwood and more. the bottle was constructed to resemble a candlelight.

the next one is 1946 le roy solei and the bottle was designed by salvador dali himself with whom schiaparelli collaborated a handful of times. the perfume is said to have a floral touch.

succes fou was a released in 1952, the bottle is designed after a leaf. the name translates directly to smashing success and this perfume was only sold on the us

*the second bottle was actually a perfume bottle AND a brooch!

last one i absolutely adored got its name because of its brown tobacco-like color. snuff was released on 1939 and the bottle was shaped after a smoking pipe
