Save the Elephants’ Post

This week, we have two important wildlife days to recognize: #WorldLionDay2024 and #WorldElephantDay2024! Let's take a quick look at what the C4ADS Wildlife Seizure Dashboard can tell us about trends in the seizures of both wildlife categories. In our latest report, we used new data to show that the average weight of seized ivory shipments is steadily rising, an alarming trend that suggests increased trafficker confidence and more illicit ivory on the market. And that’s not all the Wildlife Seizure Dashboard can tell us — while seized elephant ivory shipments often adhere to established Africa-to-Asia trafficking routes, the hotspots for lion seizures are more diffuse: France, Mexico, Russia, and South Africa. Over 60 countries have been implicated in lion seizures between 2016 and 2023 alone. Whether you’re interested in exploring geographic, temporal, or transportation sector trends in wildlife trafficking, our Wildlife Seizure Dashboard is your free, go-to resource for enhancing your analysis.

Endangered and Threatened Species: Dunes Sagebrush Lizard Posted by the Fish and Wildlife Service on May 20, 2024: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), determine endangered species status under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended, for the dunes sagebrush lizard ( Sceloporus arenicolus ), a lizard species found only in southeastern New Mexico and west Texas. This rule extends the protections of the Act to this species. Because we have concluded that the designation of critical habitat for the dunes sagebrush lizard is prudent but not determinable at this time, we will consider critical habitat for the species in a separate, future rulemaking.

On #WorldDugongDay, I am sharing my recent paper on the viability of the seagrass ecosystem for dugongs in Kenya in the comment below. #Dugongs #SeagrassEcosystem #CoastalResilience

🌼 **Day 5 of Pollinator Week!** 🌼 As we highlight the critical mission to save Pollinators, we’re also bringing urgent attention to the Monarch Butterfly. In less than six months, the Monarch could be listed as an Endangered Species in the United States. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has updated their timeline, with a decision expected by December 4, 2024. “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now planning to submit to the Federal Register for publication either a warranted or not warranted finding for the monarch butterfly by no later than December 4, 2024. This extension will give our agency sufficient time to consider all the best available scientific and commercial data pertaining to the species and to go through any necessary levels of internal review.” Previously, the decision was expected in September 2024. The monarch is being re-evaluated after a 2020 decision found it warranted for listing. @nativemonarchs #savethemonarchs #savethepollinators #savethebees #savetheplanet

🌍🦁🌿 Join Us on World Wildlife Day! 🌍🦁🌿 Today, on #WorldWildlifeDay, let's unite to protect our planet's #biodiversity . Shocking data reveals that only 4% of mammals remain wild, habitats are disappearing, and endangered species are increasing. These graphs show the urgency of the situation. Wild mammal populations are plummeting, habitats are shrinking, and endangered species are on the rise. It's time for action. In Hungary, despite some progress, wildlife faces threats like bird-poisoning and illegal killings. Outdated fines for wildlife crimes must be updated to deter such actions effectively. Let's advocate for change together. Join our mission to protect wildlife, ensure stronger laws, and invest in conservation efforts. Together, we can make a difference. Join to our campaign!

African wild dogs are one of the most endangered large carnivores in the world, with an estimated 6600 individuals left in the wild. The Selous-Nyerere landscape is an important stronghold for the species, being home to one of Africa's largest remaining populations. To effectively protect this population it’s important to learn more about the different packs in the landscape and understand how individual wild dogs are moving and dispersing. One of the tools we use to gather this crucial information is GPS collaring of the wild dogs.  In June, we worked with the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute, Tanzania National Parks Authority, and Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority to successfully fit GPS collars on two male wild dogs from different packs in the Selous-Nyerere landscape. The data from these collars will help us understand the movements of the wild dogs in the areas where we believe they are most at risk of human impacts, based on the findings of our past research. #AfricanWildDogs #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeConservation
