Planting this seed as a token of support for the catastrophic flash floods along the Nepal-China (Tibet) border on August 26, 2026.
The unfolding crisis was likely caused by an earthquake that triggered a massive ice-and-rock avalanche. This blocked the Lhende Khola river before sending a sudden, devastating wall of mud and water rushing downstream into the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers. ❤️🩹
So do the people who care for them. Bearing Weight is a podcast about the untold stories of elephants and the veterinarians, caregivers, researchers, advocates, and sanctuary leaders around the world who have dedicated their lives to them.
These are honest, grounded conversations about what it really takes to put elephants first — the science, the sacrifice, the hard-won knowledge, and the quiet, daily work that rarely makes headlines.
At a time when elephant welfare organizations often work in isolation, Bearing Weight is a space for their voices to gather, so their work can be found, understood, and supported.
🐿️ Meet the Indian Giant Squirrel — one of nature’s most colourful animals!
Yes, these colours are real! 🌈
Native to India’s tropical forests, this extraordinary squirrel can reach up to 1 metre in length, including its impressive tail, and leap up to 6 metres between trees.
Its stunning mix of purple, burgundy, orange and cream may actually help it camouflage among the shadows of the forest canopy.
A beautiful reminder of the incredible biodiversity our forests protect. 🌳
