🧵 (1/3) Richard Thorns has been searching for a duck with a head of bubblegum pink feathers for nearly 20 years. But the latest expedition brought some disappointing news. Regional gold mining had destroyed one of the key survey sites for the Pink-headed Duck. rewild.org/news/keeping-t…

(1/3) For 4 years local communities, activists and civil society orgs in Namibia have been fighting oil exploration in the country's Kavango regions. A recent complaint to @CORE_ombuds from @UofTLaw Int'l Human Rights Program & @SOUL_Okavango outlines alleged human rights abuses by Canadian oil company ReconAfrica. #savetheokavango

Keep those eagle eyes peeled! Citizen scientists, birders, conservationists and local communities helped the #SearchforLostBirds determine which bird species are lost to science. Learn about how @ABCbirds, @BirdLife_News & Re:wild are looking for lost birds.

"The researchers found that interventions such as invasive species control, habitat restoration, establishment of protected areas, and sustainable management practices are particularly effective in protecting vulnerable ecosystems." Read more from @Independent >> independent.co.uk/climate-change…

🔎We're routing for the 'underfrogs!' A study published by researcher Thomas Evans estimates that there are 856 tetrapod species lost to science. But just because a species hasn't been documented for 10+ years, doesn't always mean it's gone. scientificamerican.com/article/which-… (1/4)

A first-of-its-kind study published shows that conservation efforts to halt biodiversity loss are working. Read more from @EsmeStallard for @BBCNews about the analysis that took 10 years to complete. bbc.com/news/science-e…

🍄 The Big Puma Fungus—lost to science for 36 years—has been rediscovered by @fungifoundation! It's the first fungi rediscovery for the #SearchforLostSpecies. And the story behind the rediscovery is delightful! rewild.org/press/first-ev… (1/7)

🧵(1/4) Exciting news! A first-of-its-kind study led by Re:wild, @IUCN, @DICE_Kent, and @oxford_uni, published in @ScienceMagazine, reveals conservation efforts are effective at slowing biodiversity loss. 🌿 rewild.org/conservation-w…

(1/3) The Island-Ocean Connection Challenge (IOCC) is a global initiative dedicated to rewilding 40 island-ocean ecosystems from ridge to reef by 2030. Today, 8 more islands joined the IOCC bringing the number of projects to 17. #IOCC #jointheIOCC #holisticrestoration #islandecosystems #islands #oceans

(1/3)❓What if bringing the Thylacine back from extinction could pull living species back from the brink of extinction?

Re:wild + @itiscolossal have partnered to revolutionize what it looks like to restore species! Combining Colossal’s biotechnology with Re:wild’s expertise in wildlife conservation, we can accelerate the restoration of species on the brink of extinction. colossal.rewild.org

Happy #WorldRewildingDay! Let's join together to celebrate the people who are transforming #HopeintoAction through positive, resolute, pragmatic rewilding successes. Rewilding provides practical hope based on real, positive actions happening now.

🟡New investigation uncovers ties between influential energy lawyer Jay Park & ReconAfrica in the Okavango River Basin. Allegations of corruption & "self-dealing" arise as Park advises govs on oil laws while profiting from them newlinesmag.com/reportage/the-… @newlinesmag @SOUL_Okavango

Groundbreaking study led by Thomas Evans reveals the science behind rediscovering #LostSpecies. After 2 years of research, 856 species are missing, with 25% possibly extinct. Insights used by Re:wild for the 2024 Search For Lost Species. 🦎🌍
