Pano is a linguistic family spoken by groups of indigenous people in the Peruvian, Brazilian and Bolivian share of the Amazon Forest. There are 18 variations of the language in use, at this moment, by a number of ethnicities such as the Shipibo, Konibo, Yawanawá and Kaxinawá- each adding their own cultural nuances to it. However, as many as 14 variations of the Pano language have already become extinct. The SOFIE Foundation honor the indigenous languages and support projects that help indigenous groups reconnect with their cultural heritage and tradition.

“Children born today who live into their 70s can expect to witness the disappearance of literally thousands of plant and animal species, from tiny orchids and the smallest insects to iconic animals such as the elephant and the koala…”
Earth could face a mass EXTINCTION by 2100

“I made a salad of mixed greens paired with sedges and lichen on a bed of conifer twigs.” 🥗
PIKA CHEW! Could use some croutons. The pika doesn't look like it, but it’s related to rabbits. It's part of the order Lagomorpha, which is the same as rabbits and hares. If this takes you by surprise, you aren't the only one. The shorter ears, tiny size, and dense coat make it look more like a fuz ball than a bunny. The pika also has one of the longest tails of all lagomorphs, but it's hidden in the thick fur so it looks like it doesn't have a tail at all. Active year-round--they do not hibernate. They spend the summer months working hard to gather plants to eat throughout the long winter.
