megangibson+FollowWild Animals Are Moving In—Here’s WhyWild animal run-ins are spiking in Japan, and it’s not just a random thing. Researchers say shrinking habitats are pushing bears, boars, and even monkeys closer to people. It’s risky for everyone—think attacks, disease, and animals getting put down. The wildest part? Humans have changed 75% of the land on Earth! Conservation groups are racing to restore habitats, and just saving 1% of the planet could protect thousands of species. Wild, right? #Wildlife #Conservation #HabitatLoss #Science8716Share
Michelle York+FollowHidden Monkeys Found in Vietnam!Scientists just stumbled upon a secret group of super-rare grey-shanked douc langurs in a Vietnamese forest—there are less than 2,000 of these wild cuties left! This surprise find means there could be even more out there, but their home is under threat from hunting and deforestation. Protecting these forests isn’t just about saving adorable monkeys—it’s about keeping our planet healthy, too. Wild, right? #Conservation #WildlifeDiscovery #EndangeredSpecies #Science1292Share
James Brady+FollowOkapi Make a Triumphant Comeback!The okapi are finally back in the Congo’s Okapi Wildlife Reserve after more than a decade! After a brutal attack wiped out all the okapi and left the community devastated, conservationists and locals are celebrating their return. These rare, zebra-like creatures are a huge source of pride and symbolize peace for the region. Their comeback is a big win for biodiversity and hope for endangered species everywhere. Would you want to see okapi in the wild? #WildlifeWin #Okapi #Conservation #Science70Share
martinezlaura+FollowWild Goats vs. Livestock: A Himalayan DramaDid you know the world’s largest wild goat, the Kashmir markhor, is literally being squeezed out of its home? Researchers found that when these rare goats head up the Himalayas to give birth, they’re suddenly surrounded by a flood of livestock—over 30 sheep and goats for every markhor! This overcrowding is forcing markhor moms and babies into less healthy areas, and way fewer kids are surviving. Scientists say protecting their birthing spots and managing livestock could save them—and the whole ecosystem! #WildlifeWednesday #Conservation #Himalayas #Science42Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowA Seal in the Middle of Patagonia?!A fur seal just turned up nearly 30 miles from the ocean in Chilean Patagonia—totally lost and confused! Park rangers say this is the first time they’ve seen anything like it, and experts are worried it’s a sign that climate change is messing with animal behavior. When wildlife starts popping up in weird places, it’s a big red flag for the whole ecosystem. Even if you’re nowhere near Patagonia, supporting local conservation and making your yard wildlife-friendly can actually help! Nature’s sending us a message—are we listening? #WildlifeAlert #ClimateChange #Conservation #Pets110Share
megangibson+FollowTiny Birds Make a Huge Comeback!Little terns are back on Aussie beaches in record numbers! These adorable seabirds, once endangered, are nesting at 24 sites and raising more chicks than ever—thanks to the hard work of volunteers and park staff. Their comeback means cleaner beaches, healthier oceans, and proof that conservation actually works. Plus, their eggs are so tiny and camouflaged, it’s wild they survive at all! Love seeing nature bounce back when people come together. Would you help protect these cuties? #WildlifeWin #Conservation #GoodNews #Science170Share
Tamara Jones+FollowEndangered Animals Need More Than a LabImagine bringing back dire wolves in a lab while gutting protections for real endangered species’ habitats. That’s what’s happening: biotech is hyping up ‘de-extinction’ projects, but at the same time, new rules could let developers bulldoze the actual homes of owls, panthers, and butterflies. It’s wild—saving DNA in a lab isn’t the same as saving a species in the wild. No habitat, no wildlife. Simple as that. #EndangeredSpecies #HabitatMatters #Conservation #Science270Share
xwest+FollowWild Chimps Are Catching Our Colds?!Did you know humans are passing viruses to wild chimpanzees—and it’s actually deadly for them? At a research site in Uganda, a human virus wiped out 25 chimps in one outbreak. But here’s the wild part: simple stuff like masks, distancing, and quarantines (yep, the same pandemic rules we all know) are actually saving chimps’ lives! Scientists saw coughs and infections drop big time after enforcing these rules. Proof that protecting animals can be as easy as protecting ourselves! #WildlifeProtection #Chimpanzees #Conservation #Health80Share
William Mckinney+FollowBear Cubs Flood Rehab Center—Here’s WhyFive tiny bear cubs just showed up at a rehab center in India, and it’s not as cute as it sounds. Wildlife experts think poachers are to blame for separating these babies from their moms, who teach them everything about surviving in the wild. Locals stepped up to help, but raising orphaned cubs is tough work. The team’s scrambling to care for them and hopes they’ll make it back to the wild someday. Poaching is still a massive problem—can you believe bear bile is still a thing? #WildlifeRescue #BearCubs #Conservation #Pets390Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowThree-Flippered Turtle Makes Epic ComebackDilly Dally, a young loggerhead sea turtle, just got a second shot at ocean life after losing a flipper to a predator. Thanks to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Florida, she got the care she needed (think: antibiotics, wound care, and even pain meds) and was released back into the Atlantic—now with a satellite tracker so we can all follow her adventures! If you want to check in on Dilly Dally or her turtle pals, there’s even a tracker online. Talk about a comeback story! #SeaTurtleRescue #WildlifeWin #Conservation #Science360Share
