Hundreds of migratory species — those that make remarkable journeys each year across land, rivers and oceans — are facing extinction because of human interference, according to a landmark UN agency report.
Of the 1,189 creatures listed by the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals, or CMS, more than one in five are threatened.
They include species from all sorts of animal groups — whales, sharks, elephants, wild cats, raptors, birds and insects, among others.

An independent study has found that the national carbon accounting system of Australia may be significantly underreporting deforestation in Queensland.
In Queensland, where roughly 44% of the national cattle herd grazes and the majority of land clearing has occurred, 85% of which is from the cattle industry, officials have recorded deforestation at almost twice the rate calculated by the national system used to calculate industry emissions.
Australia has the highest rate of mammalian extinctions in the world, but the Australian government has promised that it will prevent any further extinctions. Conservationists continue to encourage them to uphold their zero-extinction commitment. The only way to protect the hundreds of threatened Australian forest species is to end native forest logging across Australia and Tasmania. Link in bio to learn more.

Trees are known for absorbing CO2 from our atmosphere, but in the oceans, whales play an equally important role in the carbon cycle.
Today’s global whale population of around 1.3 million is still recovering from commercial whaling – their historic population has been estimated at close to 5 million. Allowing whales to recover could significantly boost the amount of phytoplankton in the ocean and the atmospheric carbon it captures every year.

@shoal_org, the freshwater conservation program of @rewild and @synchearth, has published their landmark annual new species report on #WorldWildlifeDay. This report features the 243 species of freshwater fish that were identified in 2023 – including the unique Longhorn Cavefish.
The report is the third of Shoal’s annual New Species reports, which are designed to raise awareness of the magnificent diversity in Earth’s freshwaters. Additionally, this report calls for increased protection for the world’s freshwater fish species – 25% of which are at risk of extinction. Link in bio to learn more.

Deep-sea explorers searching below the waves off the coast of Chile may have found more than 100 species completely new to science in January and February. Link in bio to learn more.
Winding almost 3,000 miles through Asia, the Mekong River boasts the world’s largest inland fishery. From Giant Freshwater Stingrays to tiny minnows, it is estimated that about 25% of the Mekong’s freshwater fishes are found nowhere else on Earth.
These species not only support the health of the Mekong River, but over 40 million people in the Mekong depend on freshwater ecosystems for food security and livelihoods.
@rewild partner, @wwf has released a first-of-its-kind Mekong’s Forgotten Fishes report that highlights the critical importance of freshwater biodiversity to people, river ecosystems and the health of our planet. Link in bio to learn more.

Citizen contributions provided new information on 10 of 17 seahorse species and helped update knowledge about the geographic distribution of nine species, researchers found. Some of the observations even helped scientists better understand when and how seahorses breed.
The iSeahorse project asks the public to record seahorse sightings and observe the animals’ behavior.
“Seahorses are very much the sort of fascinating species that benefit from community science, as they are cryptic enough to make even formal research challenging,” said Heather Koldewey, the project’s co-founder.

Freshwater ecosystems are the lifeblood of the terrestrial wild—and people cannot survive without them. As freshwater carves its way toward the ocean and collects in natural basins, it creates some of the most diverse habitats on the planet. Rivers, lakes and wetlands cover less than 1% of Earth’s surface, yet are home to 12% of all known species.
Freshwater ecosystems have had a staggering 84% decline in species populations since 1970. Fishes are among the most threatened: of some 18,000 freshwater fish species, around one in four are threatened with extinction. @rewild and @shoal_org are working to urgently address that decline to help recover threatened species throughout the Earth’s freshwaters. #EarthDay2024 #FreshwaterConvservation
