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? Team up with the pros instead of going rogue! #rewilding #conservation #wildlife #Science40Share
martinezlaura+FollowGhost Elephant Spotted After 5 Years!A super rare 'ghost elephant' just made a surprise appearance on camera in Senegal—first time in five years! This elusive elephant, named Ousmane, might be the last of his kind in the park. There used to be hundreds, but now poaching and habitat loss have left only a handful. Conservationists are now scrambling to figure out if they can bring in more elephants to save the species. Wild, right? #Wildlife #Conservation #Elephants #Science2782Share
Christian Russo+FollowMarine Mammal Center: It's great to help the marine life up and down the coastIt 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 #SaveMarineMammals1242Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowPolar Bear Cubs’ First Steps—Caught on Cam!Ever seen polar bear cubs take their first steps into the wild? This rare footage is both adorable and super important for scientists tracking how these little fluffballs survive in the harsh Arctic. It’s not just a cute moment—each video helps researchers understand how climate change is impacting their dens and what we can do to help. Seriously, it’s a wild peek into their world and a reminder why protecting them matters! #PolarBears #WildlifeWednesday #Conservation #Science2211Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDogs Are Now Bee Detectives?!Did you know researchers are using dogs to sniff out endangered bumblebee nests? The rusty patched bumblebee is super rare and hard to find, but these clever pups are on the case. Labs like Ernie and Betty White have already found 18 nests (just not the right bee yet). The wild part? One of the few known nests was in a backyard full of native plants—proof that your garden could be a pollinator paradise! #Bumblebees #Conservation #DogsWithJobs #Science240Share
Karen Huynh+FollowBass Fishing Drama & Good Deeds!Big news in the bass world: Mike Iaconelli is sitting out the Tenkiller Elite due to a gnarly arm injury—if Ike’s tapping out, you know it’s serious. Meanwhile, the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame is dropping $40K on conservation projects, and MLF pros are out there restoring habitats and hanging with fans. Love seeing the sport give back and get some positive buzz for a change! Who else thinks this side of fishing deserves more hype? #BassFishing #Conservation #MLF #News110Share
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 #Science8816Share
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 #Science1302Share
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 #Science80Share
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 #Science52Share
