Michael Flores+FollowExtinct Possum Caught on Camera?!Trail cameras in Australia just snapped pics of the leadbeater's possum—a species everyone thought was extinct in New South Wales! Only seven photos out of a million, but it’s proof these little pollinators are still out there. Ecologists were actually looking for another rare animal and ended up with this wild surprise. It’s a big win for conservation, but the fight to save them isn’t over yet. Nature’s full of surprises, right? #WildlifeWin #Conservation #TrailCamMagic #Science472Share
Michelle York+FollowEndangered Chameleon Found Where?!Wild discovery alert: scientists in Madagascar just spotted three ultra-rare Belalanda chameleons way outside their usual home turf. This is a huge win for conservation—these little guys were thought to only live in one tiny forest, which is under threat from farming and mining. Now, finding them miles away means their chances of survival just got a boost, and researchers have new hope (and new places) to protect. Proof that nature still has surprises up its sleeve! #WildlifeWin #Conservation #Madagascar #Science131Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowExtinct Aussie Marsupial Makes a Comeback!Red-tailed phascogales—thought to be extinct in parts of Australia for over a century—are back! Thanks to a major conservation push, dozens of these tiny marsupials were reintroduced to the wild just in time for breeding season. The best part? Some are wearing trackers so scientists can keep tabs on their progress. Proof that fighting invasive species and protecting habitats really works! Nature comeback stories like this seriously give me hope. #WildlifeWin #Conservation #GoodNews #Science920Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowRare Wild Cat Spotted Where It Shouldn’t Be!A farmer in Punjab just spotted an endangered fishing cat—way outside its usual stomping grounds! This is the first time one’s ever been seen in Hoshiarpur, and wildlife officials are buzzing. These elusive cats are basically the ninjas of the wetlands, twice the size of your house cat and love to swim. With fewer than 10,000 left, every sighting is a big deal for conservation. Could this mean their range is bigger than we thought? Wild! #WildlifeWin #FishingCat #Conservation #Pets941Share
megangibson+FollowWildlife Tunnels Save Thousands!Did you know Vermont built little 'highways' just for frogs and salamanders? These underpasses cut amphibian deaths by over 80%! Scientists were shocked at how well it worked—plus, all sorts of critters like bears and bobcats use them too. It’s proof that a simple fix can make a huge difference for wildlife and our planet. Would you want something like this in your town? #WildlifeWin #Conservation #EcoFriendly #Science40Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowTurtle Doves Make a Comeback!Turtle doves are making a surprise return to the English countryside! After a 98% drop since the '70s, conservationists (with a little help from King Charles) are releasing hundreds of these lovebirds to save them from extinction. Imagine hearing their soothing purrs again after decades of silence. Local farmers and bird lovers are buzzing as these birds pair up and settle in. Could this be the comeback of the summer? #WildlifeRescue #TurtleDoves #Conservation #Science120713Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowExtinct No More: Wildlife Comeback!Wildlife plot twist! Western quolls and brushtail possums, once thought extinct in South Australia, are making a wild comeback in Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park. After a decade of careful reintroduction, rangers just spotted 135 quolls and 30 possums thriving. It’s like stepping back in time—these cuties hadn’t been seen here since the 1800s! Shows how protecting habitats can bring lost species back from the brink. Who else is rooting for more animal comebacks? #WildlifeWin #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #Science330Share
Michelle York+FollowThis Osprey’s Secret Blew My MindImagine rescuing a rare bird, only to find out she’s a 19-year-old legend who helped save her entire species in Iowa! That’s what happened when two birdwatchers found an injured osprey on the road. Turns out, she was part of a conservation program back in 2006 and is way older than most ospreys ever get. She’s basically the grandma of Iowa’s osprey comeback story. Proof that conservation actually works—and sometimes, nature gives us the best plot twists. #WildlifeWin #Conservation #Osprey #Science370Share
Michael Flores+FollowPuffin Comeback: Island Edition 🐧Puffins are making a wild comeback on Skomer Island, Wales—over 43,000 counted this year! Thanks to the island’s isolation (no rats, cats, or foxes allowed), these adorable seabirds are thriving while their numbers drop elsewhere. The puffin boom isn’t just cute—it’s a sign the whole ecosystem is healthier. Plus, the island’s become a must-visit for bird lovers. Proof that a little protection goes a long way for wildlife! #Puffins #WildlifeWin #Conservation #Science70Share
megangibson+FollowDIY Rewilding: Cool or Catastrophe?People are taking conservation into their own hands with 'guerrilla rewilding'—think releasing animals or building secret sanctuaries without official approval. Sounds heroic, right? But experts warn it can backfire big time, causing more harm than good if science gets skipped. Turns out, restoring nature isn’t just about good intentions; it needs careful planning, teamwork, and a whole lot of know-how. Want to help wildlife?
