This unprecedented recovery reflects the remarkable conservation of Saiga populations in Kazakhstan. The species, which once numbered as few as 48,000 individuals in 2005, has now grown to over 1.9 million individuals in the wild. Congrats to the government of Kazakhstan, which invested heavily in anti-poaching initiatives, robust law enforcement, and the establishment of new protected areas. Their collaboration with conservation organizations, universities, and scientists is a prime example of true conservation success driven by collaborative efforts. Photo credit: Andrey Gilev

Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – Today marks the 50th anniversary of the US Endangered Species Act, a critical law that has not only prevented the extinction of wildlife species on the brink but continues to help combat the climate crisis.
 
Biodiversity plays a critical role in keeping our planet’s ecosystems healthy, including forests, mangroves and grasslands that store huge amounts of carbon. Restoring even a small, targeted group of wildlife species known as ecosystem engineers—because they help maintain functioning landscapes—would help ensure we keep the global rising temperature below the 1.5-degree Celsius tipping point.
 
Like the United States, many countries have their own science-based list of threatened species that are in need of conservation action. The world’s authority on threatened species—the IUCN SSC Red List of Threatened Species—assesses the global extinction risk for animals, plants, and fungi so that conservationists, governments, and other stakeholders can develop plans to protect threatened species and their habitats, ultimately contributing to climate stabilization.

Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – Fagilde’s Trapdoor Spider was lost to science for nearly a century (perhaps even longer) until an expedition team with @protectspecies and @indianapoliszoo searched Fagilde, Portugal and the neighboring village of Vila Garcia. Follow the link in bio for the full story.
 
The spider is the 12th species to be rediscovered by @rewild’s Search for Lost Species. Without any historical photos or detailed descriptions, the team focused on searching for unique horizontal trapdoor burrows (other trapdoor spider burrows are completely vertical.) They found one such burrow with a female spider inside guarding about 10 baby spiders—it was a Fagilde’s Trapdoor Spider. The spider owes part of its rediscovery to the bravery of the local community it’s named after—their relationship with the land spans generations and their dedication to it saved the habitat of the Fagilde’s Trapdoor spider from being destroyed by a wildfire. #SearchforLostSpecies #LostSpecies
