Marine Mammal Center: It's great to help the marine life up and down the coast

It is incredible important to see what can achieved by all volunteers. Their job is very important for saving species and learning everything what is going on in the ocean. The guides can tell you everything about the animals and the bigger picture of the research. We visited the site several times and every time it’s a great experience! To those who are not familiar with the Marine Mammal Center, it is a place where rescued or abandoned sick and injured marine mammals are nursed back to health and released back to the ocean. They have audio tours as well as guided tours every day. Extremely interesting and educational for kids. The exhibits and the tour raise the kids’ awareness of environmental as well as man made challenges facing marine mammals. Their facilities are very impressive, state of the art( or rather technology). For example, the water in the individual pools in the pans is filtered, sanitized and recirculated every 35 minutes to prevent cross contamination and keep the injured or sick animals healthy. It is a non profit organization. Join the Marine Mammal Center and make a difference for our marine friends! 🐬🌊 #MarineMammalCenter #Conservation #MarineLife #RescueAndRehabilitation #OceanHealth #EnvironmentalImpact #EducateAndInspire #SupportWildlife #SaveMarineMammals

Lions Back From the Brink!

Barbary lions, once extinct in the wild for nearly 100 years, just had a major comeback moment—four adorable cubs were born at a Czech safari park! These rare babies are part of a global effort to save the species, and they might even be reintroduced to their old stomping grounds in Africa someday. It’s wild to think we could see these legendary lions roaming free again. Conservation win or what? #Pets #BarbaryLions #Conservation

Rare spirit bear spotted in BC’s wild

A wildlife expert just filmed a spirit bear—one of the world’s rarest animals—deep in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest. With only a few hundred left, seeing this white-furred black bear is a powerful reminder of how fragile and precious our wild spaces are. The spirit bear’s unique color comes from a rare gene, and its survival depends on protecting its rainforest home. This incredible sighting has reignited calls to defend these habitats from logging and climate threats. What do you think: Should we do more to protect rare species like this? #Science #SpiritBear #Conservation

Hunting ≠ Conservation 🔥

Just because you hunt doesn’t automatically make you a conservationist. Real conservation goes beyond the woods—planting trees, restoring habitats, protecting species you’ll never hunt. Hunters contribute through Pittman funds, sure, but would we still do it without being required? 🤔 #hunting #conservation #outdoors

Rhinos Get Radioactive Horns to Outsmart Poachers

Wild, right? Scientists in South Africa are injecting rhinos’ horns with a safe radioactive material so customs can spot them if they’re smuggled. The hope? To finally stop poachers from killing these endangered animals for their super-valuable horns (worth more than gold or diamonds!). Only 27,000 rhinos are left worldwide, so this high-tech move could be a game-changer for conservation. Would you support more radical ideas like this to save wildlife? #Science #rhino #conservation

Rare salamander returns to Florida wetlands

The many-lined salamander, missing from Florida for over 30 years, has finally been spotted again in North Florida’s wetlands! Researchers used creative methods—like bags of leaf litter—to coax these secretive amphibians out of hiding, discovering nearly two dozen. This little creature isn’t just rare; it’s a crucial part of Florida’s ecosystem, helping control pests and serving as a sign of environmental health. With salamanders facing extinction threats worldwide, this rediscovery is a hopeful reminder of nature’s resilience. What do you think this means for local conservation efforts and our wetlands’ future? #Science #FloridaWildlife #Conservation

Fireflies Make a Comeback—Lab Style!

You won’t believe this: scientists at Colorado’s Butterfly Pavilion just pulled off a world first by raising native fireflies through their entire life cycle in the lab! This is huge for these glowing icons, which are disappearing fast. Now, they’re planning to boost the population and even reintroduce them into the wild. Imagine summer nights full of fireflies again! Conservation just got a major glow-up. #Science #fireflies #conservation

Wildlife Caught on Camera at Secret Jungle Oasis

Who knew a few tubs of water could turn into the ultimate animal hangout? Conservationists in Guatemala set up refillable watering holes during a brutal heatwave, and the hidden cameras caught everything—from playful spider monkeys to elusive jaguars and tapirs! Turns out, these man-made oases attract way more species than anyone expected. The best part? We get a front-row seat to wild animal behavior, all while helping them survive. Nature cam binge, anyone? #Science #Wildlife #Conservation

Denver Zoo welcomes rare pancake tortoise hatchling

A second critically endangered African pancake tortoise has just hatched at the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance, adding a spark of hope for this unique species. With only six of these flat-shelled tortoises now at the zoo—including two babies and their mom, Waffles—visitors have a rare chance to see conservation in action. The new hatchlings are temporarily housed in the Komodo dragon area due to high interest. It’s a big win for the zoo’s breeding efforts and a reminder of how local action can help protect species on the brink. What other animals do you hope to see thriving at our zoo? #Pets #DenverZoo #Conservation

Wildcats Caught on Camera—Not Extinct Yet!

Trail cams in Pakistan’s Kirthar National Park just snapped pics of two wildcat species—the Asiatic caracal and the sand cat—thought to be nearly extinct in the area. These cats are so rare, even the experts were shocked! But here’s the twist: one camera also caught humans poaching. With habitat threats looming, every sighting matters for conservation. Proof that nature still has surprises up its sleeve! #Science #Wildlife #Conservation
