-LOCKED - January's Big Update #17

SEPARATION

Australia.
There aren't many people who haven't heard about what's going on with Australia's bushfire crisis. The flames consume the continent and annihilate animals, with the toll rising every day. As we're writing this, it's estimated that there are around 800 thousand million animals lost to the fires. That is a mass extinction, including the species that were endemic or endangered already.

We think it's appropriate to keep spreading information and support the Australian people's efforts to fight this disaster. We've made a small donation to this cause. Every little bit helps - maybe you could spare a dollar or two. If we all work together, even in small amounts, there will be enough to help with the struggle.

The main link we want to share is a compilation of all possible information and URLs to websites where you can choose how to help to those in need.

We personally chose the CFS Foundation to help the firefighters. If you want to help those who have suffered the worst, Givit is a choice we also liked.

Considering we made an awareness news section dedicated to the Amazon and Siberian fires in 2019, it felt right to make one for Australia as well. We hope 2020 will be the year where humanity will understand how to cooperate with our planet. Without our planet functioning in harmony with nature, and without nature itself, there are no living beings, including us humans.

To have a small memorial for what is happening, we've released two backgrounds and two decors into the Monkey Business shop. They will be half the price and twice the uses, and they will stay there until January 31st 11:59pm LDT.

SEPARATION

Environmental Encounters
Along with this, we've released seven new environmental encounters that will have a rare chance of appearing year-round in all biomes. Many of them involve animals trying to adapt to the changing surroundings, and many will include choices affecting your karma. There is also one that helps our lions understand some humans are trying to help, too. There are new rare encounters that have small chances of giving you more than the usual food and toys, including an Instant Cub Delivery.

Tags!
Shad has added new tags this week in the Miscellaneous category!

Poll Results Thank you for voting on the Hyena base colour genetics! Golden has won, and it will be assigned shortly.

NEW POLL - The Styx base was a community request to have a less saturated version of the Noctis base. To match the Styx mane, we will eventually release a Styx base - not right now though, as we want to focus on other colour groups first. So, meanwhile, can you vote on a possible source of obtaining the Styx base?

As an Australian thank you for thinking of us and the horrible struggle going on right now.

Many animals have lost their lives, people lost their homes.
All we can do is hope for rain.
