megangibson+FollowWildlife Tunnels Save Thousands!Did you know Vermont built little 'highways' just for frogs and salamanders? These underpasses cut amphibian deaths by over 80%! Scientists were shocked at how well it worked—plus, all sorts of critters like bears and bobcats use them too. It’s proof that a simple fix can make a huge difference for wildlife and our planet. Would you want something like this in your town? #WildlifeWin #Conservation #EcoFriendly #Science40Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowTurtle Doves Make a Comeback!Turtle doves are making a surprise return to the English countryside! After a 98% drop since the '70s, conservationists (with a little help from King Charles) are releasing hundreds of these lovebirds to save them from extinction. Imagine hearing their soothing purrs again after decades of silence. Local farmers and bird lovers are buzzing as these birds pair up and settle in. Could this be the comeback of the summer? #WildlifeRescue #TurtleDoves #Conservation #Science120613Share
Christian Russo+FollowMarine Mammal Center: It's great to help the marine life up and down the coastIt is incredible important to see what can achieved by all volunteers. Their job is very important for saving species and learning everything what is going on in the ocean. The guides can tell you everything about the animals and the bigger picture of the research. We visited the site several times and every time it’s a great experience! To those who are not familiar with the Marine Mammal Center, it is a place where rescued or abandoned sick and injured marine mammals are nursed back to health and released back to the ocean. They have audio tours as well as guided tours every day. Extremely interesting and educational for kids. The exhibits and the tour raise the kids’ awareness of environmental as well as man made challenges facing marine mammals. Their facilities are very impressive, state of the art( or rather technology). For example, the water in the individual pools in the pans is filtered, sanitized and recirculated every 35 minutes to prevent cross contamination and keep the injured or sick animals healthy. It is a non profit organization. Join the Marine Mammal Center and make a difference for our marine friends! 🐬🌊 #MarineMammalCenter #Conservation #MarineLife #RescueAndRehabilitation #OceanHealth #EnvironmentalImpact #EducateAndInspire #SupportWildlife #SaveMarineMammals180Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowExtinct No More: Wildlife Comeback!Wildlife plot twist! Western quolls and brushtail possums, once thought extinct in South Australia, are making a wild comeback in Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park. After a decade of careful reintroduction, rangers just spotted 135 quolls and 30 possums thriving. It’s like stepping back in time—these cuties hadn’t been seen here since the 1800s! Shows how protecting habitats can bring lost species back from the brink. Who else is rooting for more animal comebacks? #WildlifeWin #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #Science320Share
Michelle York+FollowThis Osprey’s Secret Blew My MindImagine rescuing a rare bird, only to find out she’s a 19-year-old legend who helped save her entire species in Iowa! That’s what happened when two birdwatchers found an injured osprey on the road. Turns out, she was part of a conservation program back in 2006 and is way older than most ospreys ever get. She’s basically the grandma of Iowa’s osprey comeback story. Proof that conservation actually works—and sometimes, nature gives us the best plot twists. #WildlifeWin #Conservation #Osprey #Science360Share
Michael Flores+FollowPuffin Comeback: Island Edition 🐧Puffins are making a wild comeback on Skomer Island, Wales—over 43,000 counted this year! Thanks to the island’s isolation (no rats, cats, or foxes allowed), these adorable seabirds are thriving while their numbers drop elsewhere. The puffin boom isn’t just cute—it’s a sign the whole ecosystem is healthier. Plus, the island’s become a must-visit for bird lovers. Proof that a little protection goes a long way for wildlife! #Puffins #WildlifeWin #Conservation #Science60Share
megangibson+FollowDIY Rewilding: Cool or Catastrophe?People are taking conservation into their own hands with 'guerrilla rewilding'—think releasing animals or building secret sanctuaries without official approval. Sounds heroic, right? But experts warn it can backfire big time, causing more harm than good if science gets skipped. Turns out, restoring nature isn’t just about good intentions; it needs careful planning, teamwork, and a whole lot of know-how. Want to help wildlife? Team up with the pros instead of going rogue! #rewilding #conservation #wildlife #Science30Share
martinezlaura+FollowGhost Elephant Spotted After 5 Years!A super rare 'ghost elephant' just made a surprise appearance on camera in Senegal—first time in five years! This elusive elephant, named Ousmane, might be the last of his kind in the park. There used to be hundreds, but now poaching and habitat loss have left only a handful. Conservationists are now scrambling to figure out if they can bring in more elephants to save the species. Wild, right? #Wildlife #Conservation #Elephants #Science2772Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowPolar Bear Cubs’ First Steps—Caught on Cam!Ever seen polar bear cubs take their first steps into the wild? This rare footage is both adorable and super important for scientists tracking how these little fluffballs survive in the harsh Arctic. It’s not just a cute moment—each video helps researchers understand how climate change is impacting their dens and what we can do to help. Seriously, it’s a wild peek into their world and a reminder why protecting them matters! #PolarBears #WildlifeWednesday #Conservation #Science2201Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDogs Are Now Bee Detectives?!Did you know researchers are using dogs to sniff out endangered bumblebee nests? The rusty patched bumblebee is super rare and hard to find, but these clever pups are on the case. Labs like Ernie and Betty White have already found 18 nests (just not the right bee yet). The wild part? One of the few known nests was in a backyard full of native plants—proof that your garden could be a pollinator paradise! #Bumblebees #Conservation #DogsWithJobs #Science230Share
