Michelle York+FollowRare Heron Chicks Beat the Odds!Only about 60 white-bellied herons are left in the wild, but two chicks just made it to adulthood in Bhutan! This is a huge win for conservationists, thanks to a dream team of local and Japanese experts who brought in new gear, vitamins, and even changed up the birds’ bedding. It’s a real-life wildlife comeback story—these herons are so rare, saving them could help protect entire ecosystems. Fingers crossed for more fluffy hatchlings soon! #ConservationWin #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeRescue #Science6885Share
Tamara Jones+FollowMeet the Orchid-Sniffing SuperdogA Belgian Malinois named DJ is Atlanta Botanical Garden’s secret weapon in the hunt for a super-rare orchid hiding underground. Instead of chasing bad guys, DJ uses his nose to sniff out endangered plants, earning tennis balls for every find. He once flunked out of police school for being too intense, but now he’s a hero to conservationists. DJ’s nose could help save an entire species and keep local ecosystems in balance. Who knew plant detectives could be this cute? #ConservationDog #EndangeredSpecies #OrchidHunter #Science50Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowThe Little Dodo Isn’t Gone Yet!Tooth-billed pigeons (aka the ‘little dodo’) were thought to be basically ghosts—no one’s seen one since 2013. But scientists just picked up their calls in the wild using some wild new AI tech! With fewer than 100 left, this could be a game-changer for finding and saving them. If this works, we might even see a comeback thanks to biobanking and maybe even cloning. Nature’s plot twists are wild! #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #AIforGood #Science110Share
James Brady+FollowOnly 38 Fish Left After Earthquake?!Did you know there’s a fish so rare it only lives in one cave in Death Valley? The Devil’s Hole pupfish almost went extinct after a huge earthquake wiped out most of them—there were only 38 left! Scientists are freaking out and doing everything they can, like breeding them in captivity and feeding them special snacks, to save this playful little species. Wild how one quake can nearly erase a whole species! Would you support more efforts to save rare animals like this? #WildlifeRescue #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #Science10648Share
William Mckinney+FollowBrookfield Zoo’s Beloved Tiger Says GoodbyeHeartbreaker at Brookfield Zoo—Malena, their iconic Amur tiger, was humanely euthanized after a tough battle with kidney cancer. She made history with a hip replacement and was famous for her morning 'singing' (even if she wasn’t a morning cat!). With fewer than 500 Amur tigers left in the wild, her loss hits extra hard. The zoo team and fans will seriously miss her sweet chuffs and cozy bed snuggles. Total legend. 🐅💔 #BrookfieldZoo #AmurTiger #EndangeredSpecies #Pets30Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowRare Hawk-Eagle Spotted in the Wild!A group of workers in the Philippines stumbled upon a super rare juvenile Philippine hawk-eagle and snapped a pic, not even realizing what they’d found! Turns out, this endangered bird is almost never seen in Mountain Province. Experts are thrilled—it means the forests are still healthy enough to support top predators. Plus, birds of prey like this keep the ecosystem balanced. Proof that sometimes, a random Facebook post can help save the planet! #WildlifeWin #EndangeredSpecies #NatureNerd #GoodNews #Biodiversity #Science60Share
James Brady+FollowWhale Baby Bust: What’s Going On?North Atlantic right whales had a rough year—only 11 new calves were born, way below the 50 needed to help the species bounce back. With just 370 of these gentle giants left (and only about 70 moms), scientists are seriously worried. The whales are struggling with fishing gear, ship strikes, and even finding food. But there’s a tiny silver lining: four first-time whale moms! Still, these whales need way more help if they’re going to stick around. #SaveTheWhales #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #OceanLife #Science380Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowEagle Flies 3,000 Miles on Pure InstinctGet this: scientists tracked a rare Pallas’s fish eagle that’s been flying from Mongolia to India’s Kaziranga National Park every year—no GPS, just pure instinct! The eagle breeds in Kaziranga, then its chicks (barely two months old!) make the epic journey back to Mongolia solo. With only about 2,500 of these eagles left, seeing them return to this protected spot is a huge win for conservation and biodiversity. Nature is wild, literally! #WildlifeWonders #Conservation #Kaziranga #EndangeredSpecies #NatureIsAwesome #Science5752Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowFairy-Wrens Are Struggling—Here’s WhyJust read that the endangered purple-crowned fairy-wren in Australia is having a tough time because of climate change. These little birds usually move to new spots to start families, but now they’re forced to travel way farther, thanks to droughts and crazy weather. It’s not just bad for the birds—this could mess up entire riverbank ecosystems and even impact us humans. Researchers say we need to step up conservation efforts ASAP. Wild how one tiny bird can be a warning sign for so much more! #ClimateChange #Biodiversity #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #EcoNews #Science60Share
martinezlaura+FollowRare Bird Photobombs Wildlife Cam!Imagine setting up a camera to catch wild animals, but instead you spot a super rare, colorful bird! That’s what happened in Malaysia when researchers unexpectedly snapped pics of the critically endangered Malayan crestless fireback. With only a few thousand left, this surprise sighting is a huge win for conservation. Plus, the cameras also caught deer, boars, and monkeys! Proof that trail cams are total game-changers for saving wildlife. Would you want to see what’s hiding in your local forest? #WildlifeWednesday #ConservationWin #RareFind #TrailCam #EndangeredSpecies #Science4121Share
