Galápagos Conservancy is committed to conserving the unique wildlife of Galápagos, found nowhere else on earth. With over 2,000 endemic species, Galápagos boasts with biodiversity, and the archipelago has some of the highest levels of endemism in the oceanic archipelagos on the planet. Approximately 80% of the land birds, 97% of the reptiles and land mammals, and over 30% of the plants are endemic. Additionally, more than 20% of the marine species in Galápagos are exclusive to the Archipelago.    Through our "Iniciativa Galápagos" program in collaboration with the Galápagos National Park Directorate, we strive to protect the Galápagos' unique species. Presently, we are actively involved in several conservation projects aimed at safeguarding all species of giant tortoises in Galápagos, land iguanas, Waved Albatross, Scalesia forests, pinnipeds, and the Galápagos Petrels. By contributing to the conservation of these species, we also work towards protecting global wildlife by conserving the habitat of marine migratory species that visit the archipelago year-round. This World Wildlife Day, join us in our mission to conserve, protect, and restore Galápagos.    #WorldWildlifeDay #GalapagosConservancy #ConservationEfforts

Today, the story of tiger conservation in many parts of Asia is one of hope, resilience, and collaboration. It is a narrative that underscores the challenges faced by these majestic creatures, but also highlights the remarkable successes achieved through concerted efforts of tiger range countries and partnerships.

🐾 Wire snares set by poachers are devastating Southeast Asia’s wildlife populations, with over 12 million estimated across Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. >>https://lnkd.in/exJF4pYk These traps, used for illegal hunting, inflict severe injuries and death on animals like the Critically Endangered Saola, tigers, bears, and elephants, and often capture non-targeted wildlife, including threatened animals. Re:wild’s Dr. Andrew Tilker emphasizes that while snare removal is crucial, it’s just one part of a broader strategy to protect Southeast Asia’s unique biodiversity. We also need to strengthen law enforcement, engage local communities, restore habitats, and continue species monitoring and research. These combined efforts are essential for a holistic conservation approach. In collaboration with Fauna & Flora, WWF, and Wildlife Conservation Society, Re:wild is helping protect these irreplaceable ecosystems and the biodiversity within. #EndSnaring #WildlifeCrisis #RewildSEAs

World Wildlife Day March 3, celebrated as the World Wildlife Day, is the day on which the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora was signed in 1973.  In this significantly digitalised world, the potential of animal and environment conservation has been revolutionised. Satellites, DNA analysis, tracking, etc., have all become increasingly efficient, leading to major advancements in the field. Thus, the theme for 2024 is “Connecting People and Planet: Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation”. According to recent studies, the world is witnessing the 6th Mass Extinction of wildlife with 500 species on the brink of extinction, with India housing an estimated 199 critically endangered species. Only a few hundred animals from these species, such as the Snow Leopard, Asiatic Lion and Kashmiri Red Stag, are left. Animals that have already become extinct in India include the Northern White Rhino, Slippery Handfish, The Indian Auroch.  Habitat destruction must be stopped in order to prevent further extinction. The government reintroducing cheetahs, previously declared extinct in India, in 2022, is a move that can be practised for other species as well to restore their population.

It's official – South Sudan hosts the largest land mammal migration on Earth! His Excellency Salva Kiir Mayardit, the President of the Republic of South Sudan has announced the results of a comprehensive aerial survey of the Great Nile Migration, encompassing Boma Badingilo national parks and stretching to the White Nile. Each year, in an unmatched wildlife spectacle, approximately six million of white-eared kob, Mongalla gazelle, tiang and Bohor reedbuck move across this landscape and into Gambella National Park in Ethiopia. The migration illustrates the immense ecological importance of this ecosystem and the urgent need for its long-term protection. The survey results, combined with data from the collaring of hundreds of animals from multiple species, create a more detailed understanding of the ecosystem, which will help develop sustainable strategies for both the wildlife and the people who depend on it. The survey was conducted by African Parks in partnership with the South Sudanese Ministry of Wildlife Conservation and Tourism (Wildlife Generation SSD), with support from The Wilderness Project. The sustained operations of Boma and Badingilo National Parks have been made possible by the support of several funders including, the Elephant Crisis Fund, Fondation Segré, Hempel Foundation, Rainforest Trust, Lion Recovery Fund, Wyss Foundation, and the European Union in South Sudan.
