Working with @lilygladstone will forever be a highlight of my career. Watching her become the soul of Mollie Burkhart while filming #KillersOfTheFlowerMoon was a privilege, and I am so proud that we were able to tell this story together.
Lily is not just an actor, she’s an activist who brings others, including me, with her in all she does. Her work with the @NIWRC, a native-led, nonprofit dedicated to ending violence against Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian women, as well as her influence with the NGO Northeast Oklahoma Indigenous Safety & Education (NOISE), has been a crucial part of her life’s work.
It was an honor to share a few words about Lily’s tremendous talent and incredibly important voice of change at @Variety’s Power of Women event. I look forward to continuing to watch Lily make this world a better place, on and off the screen.

Further hope for the recovery of the Sumatran Rhino as a second baby rhino has been born at the Way Kambas Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Indonesia in two months, as announced by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. This male calf joins a female calf born in late September and represents a new generation of Sumatran Rhino from which to recover the species.
The Sumatran Rhino, once widespread across Southeast Asia, is now only found in Indonesia. The Government of the Republic of Indonesia is working to recover the Sumatran Rhino across Sumatra and Borneo through a combination of a conservation breeding program and field conservation, supported by a coalition of conservation organizations both in Indonesia and across the world that is fully committed to assisting their programs and efforts.
Given that this is the first captive-born Sumatran Rhino to give birth and the breeding program now has 10 animals with three proven breeding pairs, the future for this species is looking brighter – congratulations to the government of Indonesia and all involved in this species conservation effort. @kementerianlhk @rewild @rhinosirf @badak.indonesia #KSDAE

Repost from @rewild: The people of Panama are coming together to defend nature, calling on the country’s Supreme Court to declare a controversial mining project – in the protected rainforest Bosque Donoso – as unconstitutional.
This area, lying in the heart of the largest biological corridor in Mesoamerica, is a lifeline for many migratory species. It is critical to the livelihoods and cultures of local and Indigenous communities, and is home to wildlife that includes macaws, tapirs, monkeys and jaguars. This activity would have destructive impact on the surrounding ecosystems, species, and people.
A global spotlight can help Panamanians win a critical victory for biodiversity and can pave the way for a more sustainable future.
Sign the petition to halt the mining project in Panama at the #linkinbio.

Climate change is a major driver of amphibian declines globally, according to a new paper published in Nature reports.
Two decades’ worth of data from around the world has found that climate change has emerged as one of the biggest threats to frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. The assessment evaluated the extinction risk of more than 8,000 amphibian species from all over the world, including 2,286 species evaluated for the first time. More than 1,000 experts across the globe contributed their data and expertise, which found that two out of every five amphibians are threatened with extinction.
Climate change is especially concerning for amphibians in large part because they are particularly sensitive to changes in their environment. The Nature paper provides an update to the 2004 landmark paper that was based on the first global amphibian assessment for the IUCN Red List, which revealed the unfolding amphibian crisis for the first time and established a baseline for monitoring trends and measuring conservation impact.

Attenborough’s Long-beaked Echidna, also known as ‘Payangko’ in the local Tepera language in Papua’s Cyclops Mountains, has been rediscovered. The egg-laying mammal was one of the world’s most wanted lost species and hadn’t had a documented sighting in 62 years, since it was first found. A biodiversity training expedition team led by Indonesian NGO Yayasan Pelayanan Papua Nenda and including students from Cenderwasih University, researchers from Oxford University, Mendel University in Brno, Royal Holloway University in London and Re:wild had searched for the echidna in the Cyclops Mountains for four weeks. On the last day of their ascent of the Cyclops, on the final SD card they collected, there were three images of the echidna waddling through the forest.
The support of the customary landowners within the Cyclops Mountains was critical to the success of the expedition, and was generously given by members of Yongsu Sapari, a community on the range’s northern side.
Attenborough’s Long-beaked Echidna is the 10th most wanted species to be rediscovered by @rewild’s Search for Lost Species.

De Winton’s Golden Mole—one of the world’s most wanted species by @rewild’s Search for Lost Species—has been rediscovered.
After being lost to science for 87 years, an expedition team with @the_ewt rediscovered the small blind mole on a beach in Port Nolloth, South Africa. De Winton’s Golden Moles burrow beneath the sand and rarely leave tracks that are visible from the surface.
The Endangered Wildlife Trust used a specially trained scent-detection dog to safely find golden moles. The team also collected more than 100 soil samples from beaches to test for environmental DNA shed by De Winton’s Golden Moles.
After searching for more than two years, the team found multiple populations of De Winton’s Golden Mole. The Endangered Wildlife Trust is now learning more about this species and working to protect it in the wild. #SearchforLostSpecies #LostSpecies

In a historic vote, the nation’s highest court ruled the Minera Panamá mining contract for an open-pit mine unconstitutional, marking a win for biodiversity, local communities, and our planet.
Panama has an opportunity now to be a leader in safeguarding precious ecosystems and protecting biodiversity. This ruling champions the rights, voices, and well-being of local communities over profit-driven interests.
This victory is also a beacon of hope for our planet’s future. Safeguarding irreplaceable ecosystems like these are critical to combating climate change and biodiversity loss. #PanamaTeQuieroVerde #PanamáValeMásSinMinería

Meet the Jamaican Blackbird – the most threatened bird species on the island nation of Jamaica. This unique bird is found only in undisturbed forests where it feeds on insects found in the pineapple-like bromeliad plants growing high in the canopy.
My organization @rewild is proud to support the development of a national action plan with Caribbean partners to better understand and protect this rare species.
“The future survival of this handsome bird depends on protecting and restoring Jamaica’s native broadleaf forests, which are phenomenally rich in unique species and provide water and other vital ecosystem services for the whole country,” said Dr. Jenny Daltry, Caribbean Alliance director for Re:wild and @faunafloraint.

Repost from @rewild: The future of Panama’s protected area Bosque Donoso lies this week in the hands of nine judges of the country’s Supreme Court.
The people of Panamá are calling on the Supreme Court to halt the largest mining operation in Central America, by ruling that the mine owned by Minera Panamá is unconstitutional.
The mine endangers the lives and health of local communities and threathenes the survival of wildlife and the health of the ecosystem.
Together with local and international organizations we stand in solidarity with the people of Panamá, and urge the Supreme Court to reject Central America’s largest open-pit copper mine.

FOUND: The Pernambuco Holly (Ilex Sapiiformis), one of the world’s top 25 most wanted lost species, has been rediscovered in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. It’s the 9th lost species to be rediscovered on @rewild’s Search for Lost Species most wanted list. It had not had a documented sighting in 186 years.
Ecologist Gustavo Martinelli led an expedition team that scoured the collections of botanical gardens and universities throughout Brazil, hoping to find any overlooked or unidentified specimens tucked away that could help a field search. They discovered two plants collected 45 years apart and one of the plants pointed them to the metropolitan region of Recife.
In a small patch of forest the expedition team found four individual trees. The area was once dense Atlantic tropical forest, but is now mostly urban areas interspersed with sugarcane plantations. Much of Brazil’s southeastern Atlantic forest has been destroyed and less than 5% remains intact. The forest that does remain is very fragmented.
The search for more Pernambuco Holly trees isn’t over. Working with Jardim Botânico de Recife and other local partners the expedition team is hoping to find more trees, collect their seeds and germinate them.

Today, two new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Lovongai and Murat have officially tripled the protected waters of Papua New Guinea – spanning over 6,000 square miles.
Protecting these ecosystems is vital to mitigating the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss. Coastal seas contain 70% of all ocean biodiversity and all of the world’s mangroves and seagrass beds. This project is the culmination of nearly 7 years of work by @thewcs Papua New Guinea team, who led consultations with upwards of 9,000 community members and countless delegates from the local and national government level as well as local NGOs for the creation of these MPAs.
@rewild was proud to support these efforts and is thrilled to celebrate this milestone, ensuring Indigenous peoples lead the protection of their coastal seas.

The island nation of Dominica is establishing a 788 square-kilometer Sperm Whale Reserve in their waters, the world’s first protected area specifically for Sperm Whales. These whales help to sequester an amount of carbon equivalent to taking 5,000 cars off the road each year – while also generating tourism income for the local economy.
Dominica, known as the “Nature Island” of the Caribbean, has set a goal to become the world’s first climate-resilient nation. Its unique marine habitat provides food, shelter, and breeding grounds to Sperm Whales, and it is one of the only places in the world where the species lives year-round. The reserve helps to increase the nation’s marine protected areas as they work towards the global goal of every country protecting at least 30% of the most important areas for marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems by 2030.

There are more than 2,000 species that are lost to science, but my organization @rewild and our partners around the world are working to find them.
The Search for Lost Species is the largest global quest to find plants, animals and fungi that have not been seen in at least 10 years. Since Re:wild launched the Search for Lost Species in 2017, nine of the world’s 25 most wanted lost species have been found, in addition to dozens of others outside of this list, by Re:wild and partners.
For the month of October, Re:wild is partnering with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission, the global authority on the status of species, for the first-ever Lost Species Month. With help of conservationists, researchers, citizen scientists, local communities, and eternal optimists from around the world, the Search for #LostSpecies is on.
