Hey fellow impactful ninja ?

You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.

  • Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.

  • But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.

Why do we add these product links?

First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.

And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.

What do these affiliate links mean for you?
  1. First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.

  3. And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.

What do these affiliate links mean for us?
  1. When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).

  3. And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.

What does this mean for me personally?

You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.

Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

Stay impactful,

1️⃣ The big picture: Australia faces a serious extinction crisis with numerous native species at risk of disappearing forever. The Carnaby’s black cockatoo, once abundant in Western Australia’s skies, has become a powerful symbol of this crisis as its population continues to decline dramatically. In response, young activists like Eva Czislowski are taking direct action by building artificial nests to support these endangered birds. Their efforts highlight both the urgent need for conservation and the power of individual action to make a difference.

2️⃣ Why is this good news: Young people are stepping up to take practical action for endangered species conservation. The creation of artificial nests provides immediate support for breeding Carnaby’s black cockatoos while raising awareness about extinction threats. This grassroots initiative demonstrates how local communities can contribute to protecting threatened species. The project also inspires other conservation efforts and shows that direct action can help address the extinction crisis.

3️⃣ What’s next: More artificial nests need to be built and installed in key Carnaby’s black cockatoo habitats. Greater public awareness and support for endangered species conservation must be generated. Government policies and funding for threatened species protection need strengthening. Long-term habitat preservation and restoration will be crucial for the survival of these iconic birds.
