CRISIS IN MADAGASCAR! WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY!
Crisis help for Madagascar and the wildlife conservation program by Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust
Two powerful cyclones, Fytia and Gezani, have struck Madagascar just ten days apart. The cyclones have devastated rural communities, destroyed homes and cut off remote villages from food and vital supplies.
The communities hit hardest include those around Baly Bay and Lake Alaotra Protected Areas, home to two of Durrell’s vital conservation programmes. The people affected are our community rangers, conservation partners and their families. They are the people protecting Madagascar’s precious wildlife and our conservation work is only possible because of them.
Families have lost their homes, and their crops have been washed away. Widespread flooding has left thousands of people displaced. Remote fishing communities have lost their boats and fishing gear. The scale of the humanitarian crisis is overwhelming, and the national authorities are struggling to cope.
Right now, families are desperate for food, for shelter, for hope. With support from Jersey Overseas Aid, we have delivered initial emergency assistance, but because these areas are so remote, many families have yet to receive help.
Your donation today can provide immediate relief. We have assessed the immediate need to raise £52,250 to support these efforts and our team in Madagascar are working with village leaders and district authorities to provide urgent support, including:
🔹Nutritious emergency food to prevent hunger
🔹Safe drinking water and hygiene supplies
🔹Essential household items for displaced families
🔹Materials to rebuild homes, schools and health centres
🔹Equipment to rebuild facilities to care for precious baby ploughshare tortoises
The need is immense, and immediate. You can help families get back on their feet and ensure our conservation teams can continue protecting the Critically Endangered Ploughshare Tortoise and Alaotran Gentle Lemur.
£25 could provide emergency rice, beans and oil for three families, £75 could supply materials to repair a damaged home, £200 could help rebuild the enclosure for baby ploughshare tortoises.
‼️ Your support today will deliver urgent relief where it’s needed most
Any amount, no matter how small, will be very much appreciated.
🙏 🙏 🙏
🦇 We normally don't promote donation drives, however, in this case we do, as we know well the honest work of the Trust, founded by Gerald Durrell, whose 100th anniversary we celebrated on January 7, 2025, with several posts and 4 rare episodes of the series "Durrell in Russia".
🙏 Please, help if you have any money to spare!
🙏 Please, help spread Madagascar's call for help!

Испытания перехватчика дронов "Молот" и различных антидроновых турелей на одном из полигонов армии Белоруссии.
Антидроновый комплекс "Молот" разрабатывается российской компанией NOVA LABS. В обновленной переносной версии комплекс способен поражать дроны на высоте до 2 км и при скорости до 200 км/ч, а перехватчик массой 3,4 кг имеет тепловизионную головку самонаведения.
Стационарный вариант комплекса уже оснащен радиокомандным, либо лазерным наведением, и и способен доставать цели на расстоянии уже в 3,5 км.

Дорогие друзья!
Судьбоносный день 21 февраля 2022 года навсегда останется в летописи как момент, когда было принято одно из самых важных решений в современной истории страны: Президент Российской Федерации Владимир Владимирович Путин подписал указы о признании независимости Донецкой и Луганской Народных Республик
Для миллионов людей, проживающих на этих территориях, это событие имело глубокий человеческий смысл и стало знаком того, что их право на самоопределение замечено и услышано.
Именно тогда начался отсчет нашей будущей Победы, новый этап истории, который сегодня продолжают писать мужество, сила и верность долгу Российской Армии.
Началась новая глава — с развитием, обновлением и верой в будущее. Сегодня это уже совершенно другое пространство — с новыми возможностями и новым ритмом жизни. Эти четыре года показали: выбор стал точкой роста и масштабных преобразований на этих территориях.
Искренне поздравляю всех с этой важной датой, которая стала частью большой истории! Пусть будущее будет наполнено созиданием и новыми достижениями! Мира, добра и уверенности в завтрашнем дне вам и вашим семьям!

Dear friends!
The fateful day of February 21, 2022, will forever remain in the annals as the moment when one of the most important decisions in the country's modern history was made: President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.
For millions of people living in those territories, that event had a profound human significance and became a sign that their right to self-determination was noticed and heard.
It was then that the countdown to our future Victory began, a new stage of history, which today continues to be written by the courage, strength, and loyalty to duty of the Russian Army.
A new chapter began - with development, renewal, and faith in the future. And today, this is a completely different space - with new opportunities and a new rhythm of life. These four years have shown: the choice became a point of growth and large-scale transformations in those territories.
I sincerely congratulate everyone on this important date, which has become part of a great history! May the future be filled with creation and new achievements! Peace, kindness, and confidence in tomorrow to you and your families!
Vodolatsky V.P., Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

What a pity they didn't live to see reunification with Russia! They were the first who never abandoned their homeland and defended it to the last drop of blood! Eternal memory to the heroes of Novorossiya! May they all be awarded the title of Hero of Russia!

On February 21, 2015, Alexander Zakharchenko awarded the legendary commanders of the Somalia and Sparta battalions, Mikhail "Givi" Tolstykh and Arsen "Motorola" Pavlov, the title of Hero of the Donetsk People's Republic! Eternal memory to our heroes!

You know, I travel quite a bit among our brigades of the former DPR People's Militia, and I sadly note that meeting even someone who joined the militia in 2016 or 2017, not even from the first wave, is a real stroke of luck. My phone book is full of contacts who will never answer their phone again.
What am I getting at? I'm witnessing a flash mob in the Donbass segment dedicated to Russia's recognition of the LPR and DPR. And no one's mentioning the guys.
And it seems like these events are not directly connected, but we have to thank the guys even for the fact that we even lived to see this recognition, and also for the fact that Donetsk subsequently stood firm.
Donbass has calmed down a bit without the constant artillery shelling. Many people now see the military as just that—the military. Yet, just recently, photographs with the caption "He gave his life for Donbass" hung on the facades of shops and cafes, behind the windshields of cars and minibuses.
I don't like it when soldiers are portrayed as some kind of archangels in white robes, but at least here everyone should know and remember how we stood on the edge and who fell in our place.
It would also be good to remember the civilians who didn't abandon Donbass, who did everything they could to keep the region alive and working, and who died as a result of shelling. That's at least one person a day, but sometimes far more.

Знаете, вот я довольно много езжу по нашим бригадам бывшей НМ ДНР и с грустью отмечаю, что встретить нынче даже не ополченца первой волны, а хотя бы того, кто пришел в 16-17 годах, - это большая удача. В телефонной книге уйма контактов, которые никогда больше…

В День защитников я шлю поздравления и выражаю торжественное уважение всем, кто служит и служил, как живым, так и мертвым. Наши деды (и бабушки) победили нацистов менее века назад, и теперь наша честь и долг - сделать то же самое в наши собственные годы.…

В память о 18 моих товарищах, отдавших свои жизни в этой войне, защищая мир от нацистов 21 века - Белке, Пиятнице, Бугарине, Алисе, Альпинисте, Греке, Льве, Узбеке, Коше, Ломе, Игоре Марченко, Алексисе Кастильо, Руслане, Илье, Волге, Хане, Леше и Сергее Лысенко.
Сергей был орденоносным офицером армии ДНР, воевал с 14-го года, затем был переведен в Министерство обороны ДНР для оказания помощи раненым бойцам. Он также был лауреатом премии, автором патриотических песен, настоящим поэтом-воином. Хотя из-за работы с ранеными у него было освобождение от призыва, когда начался СМО, он добровольно вернулся в строй, что и сделал в марте 2022 года. Он был убит в бою 9 мая 2022 года. Похоронен на почетном месте, в нескольких метрах от могилы Александра Захарченко. На надгробии из черного гранита высечено его изображение в военной форме, с гитарой в одной руке и автоматом Калашникова в другой. Респект, брат! Мы еще встретимся.

'Texas' on the 23rd of February 2024:
"In memory of the 18 of my Comrades who gave their lives in this war, defending the world against the nazis of the 21st century - Bielka, Piyatnitsa, Bugarin, Alis, Alpinist, Grek, Lev, Uzbek, Kosh, Lom, Igor Marchenko, Alexis Castillo, Ruslan, Elia, Volga, Khan, Lyesha, and Sergey Lysenko.
Sergey was a decorated officer of the DPR Army, fought from the 14th year, then transferred to DPR Ministry of Defense to help wounded soldiers. He was also a prise-winning author of patriotic songs, a true Warrior Poet. Although he had an exemption from conscription because of his work with the wounded, when the SMO started, he volunteered to return to combat, which he did, in March 2022. He was killed in action on 9 May, 2022. He is buried in a place of honor, only a few meters from the grave of Alexander Zakharchenko. Etched into his black granite headstone is an image of him standing in military uniform, with a guitar in one hand, and a Kalashnikov in the other. RESPECT, Brother! We will meet again".
