martinezlaura+FollowThis Botanist Is Bringing Plants Back!Imagine stumbling on over 100 plants everyone thought were extinct! That’s exactly what Himesh Jayasinghe, a Sri Lankan botanist, has done—plus he’s found 200+ new species. He’s basically a real-life plant detective, trekking through wild forests and mountaintops to rewrite Sri Lanka’s entire floral record. His discoveries aren’t just cool—they’re changing how the country protects its wild spaces. Proof that one passionate person can totally change the game for nature! #Science #Biodiversity #Conservation31Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowShanghai’s Toad Comeback!Shanghai’s rolling out the green carpet for the spotless tree toad, which hasn’t been seen in the city for 20 years! Conservationists just released 24 of these bug-eating amphibians into a special rice paddy, and—get this—tadpoles showed up in just a week. If this works, it could totally rebalance the local food chain and boost biodiversity. Fingers crossed these little guys make a big comeback! Would you want to see more animal rewilding where you live? #Science #Biodiversity #Conservation20Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowGiant Insect Found—It’s Bowling Pin-Sized!Australia just dropped a wild new creature: researchers found a stick insect as long as a bowling pin (15 inches!) and it’s the heaviest bug ever recorded there. Only two have been spotted so far, and they live way up in the rainforest canopy—so who knows what else is hiding up there? Kinda makes you wonder what else we’re missing before it’s gone. Nature is seriously full of surprises! #Science #Australia #Biodiversity23190Share
Tamara Jones+FollowWild New Species Found—And Named After Celebs!Imagine chilling at your favorite lunch spot and stumbling on a brand new species! That’s exactly what happened to Lou Jost in Ecuador. From glass frogs to rodents with never-before-seen teeth, scientists at Fundación EcoMinga keep finding wild new creatures—some even get named after celebs like Seth MacFarlane and David Attenborough. These discoveries are happening in protected reserves, showing just how much is still out there to find (and save!). Nature is way weirder—and cooler—than we thought! #Science #Biodiversity #NewSpecies150Share
megangibson+FollowMuskrats: Nature’s Secret Eco-HeroesWho knew muskrats were out here saving the planet? Scientists found these little guys are basically marshland landscapers—cutting down invasive cattails better than our fancy machines. By chomping through the stalks, muskrats help native plants make a comeback and keep the ecosystem balanced. Turns out, even the most unassuming creatures are critical to biodiversity and our future. Next time you see a muskrat, give it some respect! #Science #Biodiversity #EcoHeroes80Share
martinezlaura+FollowHalf of Nature Could Vanish?!Ecologists are freaking out: half the tree of life (yep, HALF) might go extinct in just a few decades. Even untouched forests in Costa Rica are turning eerily quiet—once packed with bugs, now almost empty. The wildest part? It’s not just pesticides or habitat loss anymore—climate change is the big villain. Insects everywhere are disappearing, and that means birds, lizards, and tons of other animals are in trouble too. Planting native flowers and trees actually helps, so maybe your backyard can be a tiny bug haven! #Science #ClimateCrisis #Biodiversity15681Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowRare Tree Found Where No One Expected!Wild news: Scientists just found a super rare, endangered agarwood tree (Aquilaria khasiana) in Assam’s Jeypore Reserve Forest—first time ever in that region! This tree was thought to only grow in Meghalaya, and its numbers have been dropping for decades. Agarwood is prized for its scent and is often overharvested, so this discovery is a big win for biodiversity. But experts say we need more protection and restoration to keep these trees (and others) from disappearing for good. #Science #Biodiversity #Conservation2115Share
megangibson+FollowDragonflies Just Changed the Climate GameDragonflies are rewriting the rules on climate change! 🐉🔬 Turns out, it’s their early, underwater life—not their adult days—that shapes how they handle rising temps. Scientists found that what happens to baby dragonflies has a bigger impact on their adult size and wings than anything they face later. Why does this matter? If we only focus on saving adults, we might totally miss the boat on protecting biodiversity. Time to pay more attention to the little guys! #Biodiversity #ClimateChange #Dragonflies #Science281Share
Michelle York+FollowPenguin Chicks in Trouble—Here’s WhyEmperor penguins are facing a major crisis—satellite images show their colonies have dropped by 22% since 2009. Melting Antarctic sea ice is forcing baby penguins into the freezing ocean before they’re ready, all thanks to rising temps and climate change. It’s not just about penguins—losing them messes with the whole ecosystem. The big takeaway? Our planet’s balance is at risk, and cutting down on dirty fuels is more urgent than ever. Wild, right? #ClimateChange #Penguins #Biodiversity #Science140Share
