gregorybrown+FollowRocket Debris Ruins Turtle Beach?!Imagine hitting the beach for some sun and finding rocket parts everywhere! That’s what happened in Tamaulipas, Mexico—plastic and metal from a recent launch washed up, right where endangered sea turtles nest. Locals say no one official is cleaning it up, just volunteers trying their best. People are furious, especially since baby turtles could mistake the junk for food. If you can launch rockets, shouldn’t you clean up after? Wild, right? #BeachCleanup #EndangeredSpecies #RocketDebris #News170Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowWildlife Cameras Catch Ultra-Rare Buffalo!Trail cams in the Philippines just snapped pics of the tamaraw—a tiny, endangered buffalo with fewer than 500 left! These shy creatures love solo mud baths to beat the heat, and researchers are using drones and new tech to keep tabs on them. Coolest part? Their wild mud-wallowing habits are totally different from those in captivity. Every glimpse helps scientists protect these rare animals. Would you want to see one IRL? #WildlifeWednesday #EndangeredSpecies #Tamaraw #Science790Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowCactus Comeback: Off the Endangered List!The Colorado hookless cactus just made a wild comeback—it's officially off the endangered list after 40+ years! Thanks to some serious teamwork from conservation groups, this rare plant (found only in western Colorado) is thriving again. But get this: over half its habitat is still unprotected and there’s oil and gas activity nearby, so the fight isn’t over. Still, it’s a huge win for biodiversity and proof that conservation works! Would you trust the cactus is safe now? #ConservationWin #EndangeredSpecies #NatureNews #Science60Share
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
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
Joshua Townsend+FollowPangolins Might Finally Get a Break!Did you know pangolins are the world’s most trafficked mammal? US officials are now considering giving them Endangered Species Act protection, which could seriously crack down on illegal trade. These adorable, scaly creatures are poached for their scales and meat, pushing seven species to the brink. If this goes through, it’ll help shut down US markets for pangolin parts and give these oddballs a fighting chance. About time, right? #PangolinProtection #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeConservation #Pets201Share
Michelle York+FollowHidden Monkeys Found in Vietnam!Scientists just stumbled upon a secret group of super-rare grey-shanked douc langurs in a Vietnamese forest—there are less than 2,000 of these wild cuties left! This surprise find means there could be even more out there, but their home is under threat from hunting and deforestation. Protecting these forests isn’t just about saving adorable monkeys—it’s about keeping our planet healthy, too. Wild, right? #Conservation #WildlifeDiscovery #EndangeredSpecies #Science1292Share
Tamara Jones+FollowEndangered Animals Need More Than a LabImagine bringing back dire wolves in a lab while gutting protections for real endangered species’ habitats. That’s what’s happening: biotech is hyping up ‘de-extinction’ projects, but at the same time, new rules could let developers bulldoze the actual homes of owls, panthers, and butterflies. It’s wild—saving DNA in a lab isn’t the same as saving a species in the wild. No habitat, no wildlife. Simple as that. #EndangeredSpecies #HabitatMatters #Conservation #Science270Share
Tamara Jones+FollowRhinos Are Losing Their Horns—On Purpose!Did you know conservationists are actually cutting off rhino horns to save them from poachers? Wild, right? A new study found that dehorning led to a 78% drop in poaching across eight African reserves. It’s not a perfect fix—horns grow back and some poachers still go after the stumps—but it’s buying time for these endangered giants. The real challenge? Tackling the huge demand for rhino horn in illegal markets. Necessary evil or genius move? #RhinoConservation #WildlifeProtection #EndangeredSpecies #Science231Share
