William Mckinney+FollowYellowstone’s tough call: Bear euthanized after risky encountersA bear in Yellowstone had to be put down after it repeatedly got too close for comfort—crushing a tent and raiding food, even when campers followed all the rules. Park staff say these tough decisions happen when bears lose their fear of humans, often because people ignore safety guidelines. It’s a stark reminder: our actions directly impact wildlife. Keeping a safe distance and securing food isn’t just about our safety—it’s about protecting the animals, too. How do you feel about the balance between public access and wildlife protection in our national parks? #Pets #Yellowstone #WildlifeProtection1312Share
Kimberly Hall+FollowCan Drones Really Save Elephants?Drones are taking wildlife protection to new heights—literally. With high-res cameras and thermal sensors, these flying guardians are helping rangers spot poachers before they strike. But is relying on drone tech enough to outsmart illegal hunters, or are we just scratching the surface of what’s needed? Would you trust a drone to protect the world’s largest land mammals? Let’s debate the future of conservation tech. #Tech #TechForGood #WildlifeProtection240Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowBird Nests Are Becoming Plastic Death TrapsThis is honestly heartbreaking: scientists are finding plastic baler twine in almost 90% of white stork nests in Portugal, and it's killing chicks before they can even fly. Chicks are getting tangled, injured, and sometimes dying in these plastic threads—it's not just storks, either. Ospreys, raptors, and even sparrows are getting caught up in this mess across the globe. It’s a wild reminder that our plastic trash doesn’t just disappear—it can turn into a death trap for wildlife. #Science #PlasticPollution #WildlifeProtection70Share
davisjames+FollowBird Nests Full of Fishing Line?!Did you know birds are building nests with leftover fishing line—and it’s actually super dangerous? In Montana, experts found ospreys, ducks, and geese getting tangled up because people leave fishing line and trash behind. Not only does it mess with wildlife, but it’s ugly for everyone visiting the lake. Locals are stepping up with cleanups and special recycling bins, but the real fix? We all need to pick up after ourselves and push for less plastic in the first place. Wild, right? #Pets #WildlifeProtection #PlasticPollution61Share
Daniel Barajas+FollowBirds vs. Power Lines: A Shocking FixDid you know millions of birds die every year from hitting or perching on power lines? Scientists in Australia just used GPS trackers on endangered wedge-tailed eagles to figure out which power lines are the deadliest. Their model can now predict danger zones before birds even get hurt! This could totally change how we protect wildlife as power grids keep growing. Imagine saving birds before tragedy strikes—pretty wild, right? #WildlifeProtection #Birds #ScienceNews90Share
darrell47+FollowThis Kid’s Toy Is Harming Seals?!Who knew a cheap beach toy could be so dangerous? Those plastic flying rings (the donut-shaped frisbees) are getting stuck around seals’ necks on Welsh beaches, causing infections and even risking their lives. Rescuing them is super tough, so most seals aren’t saved. Local councils are starting to ban these toys, but the problem’s bigger than you’d think. Next time you hit the beach, maybe leave the flying rings at home—seals will thank you! #WildlifeProtection #SealRescue #PlasticPollution #News151Share
paulcarol+FollowWhy hunters love animals more than you think 🏹Ethical hunters do more than just hunt—we fund conservation, restore habitats, and pass down responsible practices. Groups like NWTF are proof we’re often the first to step up for wildlife. Thoughts? #hunting #HuntersForConservation #WildlifeProtection #EthicalHunting110Share
megangibson+FollowWhale Migrations Are Getting Risky 🐋Did you know humpback whales are basically dodging an obstacle course now? Their ancient migration routes are getting tangled with shipping lanes, fishing gear, and shark nets—making their journey way more dangerous (and sometimes even fatal). New maps show just how bad it’s gotten, but there’s hope: these tools could help reroute ships and set up safe zones. Healthy whales = healthy oceans = a win for everyone. Would you support rerouting ships to save the whales? #SaveTheWhales #OceanConservation #WildlifeProtection #Science80Share
martinezlaura+FollowPangolins on the Brink—US Steps InDid you know the world’s most trafficked mammal is a shy, scaly insect-eater called the pangolin? US officials are finally moving to give these adorable oddballs Endangered Species Act protection. Why? Because their scales are in high demand for traditional medicine, and poaching is pushing them to the edge of extinction. If this goes through, it could help slam the door on illegal pangolin trade in the US. Wild, right? #PangolinCrisis #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeProtection #Science70Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowDolphin Drama in a Tiny Harbor!A wild dolphin just popped up in a small English harbor, and locals are loving it—but experts are stressing out. Turns out, getting too close or trying to interact with these cuties can actually land you a hefty fine or even jail time! Conservationists say the dolphin’s visit is a sign of bigger issues like warming oceans and habitat loss. If you spot one, keep your distance and let it do its thing. Protecting wildlife = protecting our oceans! #DolphinWatch #WildlifeProtection #OceanConservation #Pets250Share
