Home Actor Leonardo DiCaprio HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers January 2024 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 Photo credit: Sérgio Henriques

Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – Conservation success: The Saiga, a species of antelope, has been reclassified from ‘Critically Endangered’ to ‘Near Threatened’ on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

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.

Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – The Lear’s Macaw—a brilliant blue parrot—was once on the brink of extinction, but conservation efforts have helped the species recover. That recovery is fragile and a new wind energy project in the Canduous cliffs, the bird’s only habitat, in Brazil’s Bahia state is threatening the species’ future. Local communities have brought a legal case against the project to move it out of the Lear’s Macaw habitat into a nearby area that is less sensitive. Follow the link in bio to read the full story.

The Lear’s Macaw lives in a Key Biodiversity Area, a place that is vital to the persistence of biodiversity on Earth. My organization @rewild is a member of the Key Biodiversity Area Partnership. Re:wild and @americanbirdconservancy signed a human rights complaint filed by local communities in the Caatinga region with the United Nations against the company building the wind project for failing to follow federally legislated environmental assessments.
