Home Actor Leonardo DiCaprio HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers September 2023 Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram - The South Island Kōkako is one of the world’s 25 most wanted lost species according to the Search for Lost Species led by @rewild. The last confirmed sighting was in 1967 and the only officially accepted sighting since then was in 2007, when the New Zealand Department of Conservation changed the status from Extinct to Data Deficient. The South Island Kōkako Charitable Trust has been leading a search effort to find this unique bird. Several expeditions have ventured into New Zealand’s Abel Tasman National Park this year. The search teams were able to capture recordings from unidentified birds in April and May—and the distinct and haunting calls sound similar to a Kōkako. The recordings are being analyzed to try and determine which species made them by bioacoustics experts at Victoria University of Wellington (NZ). The South Island Kōkako Charitable Trust is also working with partners including the University of Otago’s Gemmell Lab (@universityofotago) and Wilderlab to develop environmental DNA sampling methods to detect Kōkako. The search for the South Island Kōkako is supported by @allbirds. 📷: @rowannicholson #LostSpecies #SearchforLostSpecies #SouthIslandKokako #Kokako #LostBirds #SearchforLostBirds

Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – What was once a barren ‘moonscape’ has now been rejuvenated as a gem of the Caribbean. The Redonda Ecosystem Reserve, part of Antigua and Barbuda, covers almost 75,000 acres (30,000 hectares) of land and sea that has now been granted protected area status.

The new designation is the result of the ongoing efforts of the government of Antigua and Barbuda, particularly the Department of Environment (DoE) @do_environ and local and international conservation NGOs, including the @eagantigua (EAG), @faunafloraint and @rewild.

This now lush wildlife sanctuary protects the entire island, its surrounding seagrass meadows and coral reefs. The Redonda Ecosystem Reserve is home to at least 30 globally threatened and near-threatened species, along with globally important seabird colonies.

Congratulations to everyone who has made this happen and who continue to work together on a range of actions to support Redonda’s biodiversity, including monitoring the recovery of native species and the marine environment, and planning the reintroduction of native species that cannot find their own way back to the island, such as iguanas and Burrowing Owls. #RewildTheCaribbean
Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – Repost from @nytimes To prevent the extinction of the northern bald ibis, Johannes Fritz came up with a plan — and learned to fly.

To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis — which had once disappeared entirely from the wild on the continent — needs to migrate south for the winter, over the Alps, before the mountains become impassable. Fritz, an Austrian biologist, has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild, and an essential part of their education has been teaching the young the migration path they will follow as adults. He modified an ultralight aircraft so it would cruise at speeds slow enough for his winged students to keep up. In 2004, three years after some initially bumpy experiments, Fritz led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led 15 such migrations. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 young ibises, many of which then started to pass the route on to their own young.

However, the route Fritz originally taught the ibises is no longer viable. With climate change warming the area where the birds summer — by Lake Constance in Germany and Austria — they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September, as they had done just a decade ago. They are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap.
