ok but try working for an enforcement agency & dealing with the police on a daily basis. like why are most police just glorified props. y r so much of public funds spent on all these police stations when y’all can’t even attend a case w/o getting some political director involved

For a while now it’s felt like we’ve been living through the time of a failed revolution. But what do you call it when you’re living through the days of a lack of one- not because people don’t want change, but bc there’s no belief or energy left to imagine an alternative.

I feel like I’d never leave the Env Ministry diaspora bc literally no one else will get it. Grateful for the colleagues who got your back, even when sometimes all you can do is bear witness.

It’s a different kind of lonely watching your home being destroyed while those with the power to possibly stop it debate over a technicality.

Welcome to #Villimalé - the last pocket of nature in the Greater Malé area. 1. Electric blue hermit crab holding onto a piece of rock. 2. Funavaa in the morning light - blocked off. 3. A rare sighting of a humpback cowry (ކައިރު ބޮލި) 4. Surf redfish - endangered species.

The thought of kids having to grow up in a hot concrete jungle with thaaru roads and no greenery make me physically sick
Every morning, a four-year-old in Villimalé walks to school through a grove of protected trees. Last week, the path was fenced off. Three 17-storey towers are coming. Residents are divided – over what's being lost, and who it's really for. maldivesindependent.com/envi…

The audacity to profit off our native vegetation as an aesthetic ✨ while being responsible for the destruction of our oldest funa trees in the last remaining green space in Greater Malé Area. #BMLFail #SaveFunavaa #SaveVillimalé
Replying to @bankofmaldives
FUNA is a large evergreen tree with small white flowers that you would have encountered along our beaches. The oil from the dried fruits of the tree is said to have been used for medicinal purposes. #ForNature #KnowYourPlants

sometimes I’d get on the bus and meet a kind stranger who reminds me of my dad or just be in the presence of everyday people and think how I just want these people to be happy and lead meaningful lives and I honestly can’t fathom why politicians don’t seem to feel this way

We lost our lovebird near Villimalé Happy Market building today. It’s a friendly, curious bird with good flying skills & will respond to ‘Doki doki’. It will mean everything for my family to have this bird safely found. Please share and contact 7863118 if found. 😢
