“This was the moment we had been waiting for,” Erwin Alamsyah Siregar, executive director of Indonesian conservation group Tangguh Hutan Khatulistiwa, or TaHuKah, told The Associated Press. “We are very grateful that the canopy here provides benefits for orangutan #conservation efforts.” #SumatraOrangutan #WildlifeConservation #wildlife #habitat #HumanEncroachment #HabitatFragmentation

5 canopy bridges were installed each with a camera trap, carefully positioned after surveys of #orangutan nests, forest cover & animal movement. The structures were designed to support the orangutan’s weight—no small feat for the world’s largest tree‑dwelling mammal. The program is closely monitored, with camera traps on every bridge & regular patrols to prevent forest encroachment. Conservationists hope more #orangutans will follow the first pioneer. #SumatraOrangutan #conservation #wildlife

Platypuses need threatened species recognition in NSW, researcher says "The species was only "hanging on, not thriving" in NSW and the Murray-Darling Basin." "There's no state or national monitoring framework for platypuses...Dr Bino said platypuses had survived Australia's natural cycles for millions of years, but were now struggling to adapt to human-driven changes. We've been disrupting the natural flow regime and fragmenting and isolating platypus populations." "Platypus are pretty much wiped out from the mainland in South Australia. They used to occur all along the Murray but that's no longer the case." >> https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-27/platypuses-should-be-threatened-species-in-nsw-researcher-says/106520128 #platypuses #conservation #habitat #rivers #NSW #monotremes #MDB #ThreatenedSpecies #biodiversity #water #pollution #sprawl #ImperviousSurfaces #roads #runoff #drowning #WipeoutAU

Endangered because it sells? 🌱 With only ~1k left, Windsor's elephant's foot is trapped: "sold to be saved." The "endangered" label ironically acts as an ad, making it a trendy houseplant. Once caught in the economy's gears, hitting the brakes is tough. Human ego makes things difficult. Can we ever change this massive "economy"? (Tap blog toggles for English!)

The green sea turtle was dying—ninety percent gone. The ocean remembers resurrection. Twenty species off the endangered list. The turtles came back because humans refused to let them vanish. #Conservation #ClimateJustice #TurtleWins #EarthHealing #Hope https://twp.ai/9OVXqm

🦦🍫 Giant #otter triplets born at #Chester Zoo weigh about 200 grams each at birth. These offspring of first-time parents Bonita and Manu belong to the largest otter species on Earth. The pups will eventually reach 2 meters in length and weigh more than 30 kg. 👉 https://www.popsci.com/environment/new-otter-babies/ #otters #wildlife #conservation #biology #nature #animals #zoology #chesterzoo #science #ecosystem #mammals

#EmperorPenguins were already considered near threatened due to the loss of #coastal #SeaIce, which they rely on for raising chicks. Early ice breakup can lead to colonies falling into the ocean before chicks grow their waterproof feathers, causing the hatchlings to drown. 
There are less than 600,000 adult emperor penguins left in the wild, & new projections suggest that the population could fall to half that by the 2080s, acc/to the International Union for the #Conservation of #Nature [#IUCN].

“#EmperorPenguins are a sentinel species that tell us about our changing world & how well we are controlling #GreenhouseGas #emissions,” Philip Trathan, a member of the IUCN specialist group that determined the species’ #conservation status, said in a statement Thursday. #climate #environment #GlobalWarming #EndangeredSpecies #wildlife #MarineLife #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #law #EnvironmentalLaw #science

Today @Jillianmarisa@vmst.io and I made it back out to the park to check in on the boxes. 2/5 have eggs 🥰. The rest are occupied by (so far) not aggressive wasps. Yay conservation results in action. So happy! #NestWatch #EasternBluebird #Missouri #KC #Bluebird #Conservation #MasterNaturalist

The Guardian | ‘The water is no longer our friend’: how dredging is pushing Lagos Lagoon towards ecosystem collapse – photo essay by Valentine Benjamin in Lagos Taking sand from the Nigerian city’s lagoon to supply a building boom harms more than fish – it affects the entire food chain, erodes coastlines and is depriving fishing communities of their livelihoods Before dawn, when the noise of Lagos’s danfo buses fills the air and generators rumble to life, the city’s lagoon is already stirring. Not from fish splashing or canoes gliding, but from the long suction pipes of the dredging machines, pulling up the lagoon bed and spitting out wet sand that will be used in the construction of high-rise blocks, housing estates and flyovers. Sand dredging is regulated by the Lagos state government and the waterways authority but in a city of more than 20 million people, where sharp sand has never been in higher demand, not all dredging is being done by the book.

The Guardian | Experience: I climbed the tallest tropical tree in the world by Jamiluddin Jami It was a slow ascent: I needed to check for wasps, snakes and scorpions I was born in Tawau, a Malaysian city on the island of Borneo, and grew up around logging camps – my dad worked in the industry. In the early 90s, a lot of the forest here started being cleared for commercial use. At the time, I just thought that was the way things were. That changed when I began working in conservation as a teenager at the South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership in the nearby Danum Valley. My job was to plant seedlings in places where the forest had been cut down. I began to learn about the importance of keeping the forest safe. Continue reading...

Vancouver Island marmots will soon come out of hibernation. Some colonies are located on ski hills so they close the ski resort for a few weeks in April. This marmot is endemic to Vancouver Island. It's an endangered species that is making a remarquable recovery thanks to marmots.org #photography #wildlife #marmots #VancouverIslandWildlife #BritishColumbia #conservation #EndangeredSpecies

The Cincinnati Zoo’s rescued bald eagles are easy to miss — but their stories are some of the most powerful in the zoo. I put together a quick guide to what you’ll see and why this habitat is worth a stop. https://cincyzooguide.com/cincinnati-zoo-bald-eagles/ #cincinnati #cincinnatizoo #baldeagles #conservation #birds #wildlife #animals #ohio
