These striking shots of Huemul Deer reveal the struggle this Endangered species faces for survival. Suburban sprawl in Chilean Patagonia from towns like Futaleufú (pictured in the distance) has driven this species from its historic range. Additionally, the presence of livestock and feral dogs has left Huemul Deer unable to occupy lower-elevation ecosystems with better food sources. Instead, they have been pushed to higher elevations away from human development, where the vegetation is sparse and less nutritious. With only 1,500 individuals remaining this is a significant threat to their survival – Huemul Deer are considered the Americas’ most Endangered deer.
This scene was taken with camera traps installed by @rewild partner @rewildingchile, an offspring of @tompkins_conservation, in collaboration with the Chilean Forestry Service. Their scientists note that this is one of the most difficult places where they monitor Huemul Deer. Tompkins Conservation and Rewilding Chile co-created the huemul monitoring program to help protect this Endangered species. Rewilding Chile launched the Chilean Huemul Corridor, a public-private initiative with the Chilean Forestry Service and Livestock and Wildlife Agency to recover the species and protect Patagonian ecosystems.

The fashion industry has implications on the environment. It can lead to chemical runoff, waste sent to landfills or dumped on the Global South, and exploitation of garment workers.
New York is poised to take a leadership role in addressing this industry with The Fashion Act, which will raise the floor for the $2.5 trillion industry, so the next generation is not left with a climate, micro plastic, biodiversity, and human crisis.
The bill’s supporters, who are urging the governor to sign, include not only environmental and environmental justice organizations and labor leaders within the supply chain, but also international and New York-based, brands, innovation companies and suppliers that recognize that they need to be regulated and see this as a win-win for the state’s economy, for global climate, and for human rights. #ActOnFashion

Bottom trawling, widely known as ‘marine deforestation,’ is causing irreparable harm to the climate and to marine life. Now, for the first time, researchers have calculated just how much stored carbon from the seafloor is churned up from trawling.
A new study shows that 370m tonnes of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere from bottom trawling alone – an amount that scientists say is “too big to ignore.”
It’s time to recognize the impact of the industrial marine hunting industry and include these emissions in climate action plans. Protecting marine biodiversity is vital to the health of our planet and is a significant part of our solution to the climate crisis. Link in bio to learn more.

A new protected area has been established to safeguard the Endangered Zanzibar Red Colobus. Conservationists have worked for 7+ years on the archipelago of Zanzibar to make the Kidikotundu-Nongwe-Vundwe Reserve a reality. This protected area now protects roughly 500 individuals of this Endangered primate – representing over 10% of their entire global population.
Total population surveys over a number of years, assessed the abundance and distribution of the Zanzibar Red Colobus. This allowed conservationists to understand the need for additional protected areas and their locations. In addition to protecting primates, this reserve is home to the Critically Endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle, Endangered Aders’ Duiker, Zanzibar Slender Mongoose, and Rufous Elephant Shrew.
Considered the most threatened group of monkeys across mainland Africa, red colobus are in dire need of conservation action. My organization, Re:wild, has worked with over 160 conservationists to develop a comprehensive Red Colobus Conservation Action Plan that addresses the most urgent needs for red colobus to ensure their survival. We are dedicated to preserving these primates and their forest habitats, helping shine a spotlight on efforts to protect them.
The creation of Kidikotundu-Nongwe-Vundwe Reserve was funded in part by @rainforesttrust, Margot Marsh, @thewcs, and @rewild.

Australia Conservationists have won a temporary injunction to stop logging in the Tasmania nesting sites of the Critically Endangered Swift Parrot. Only an estimated 750 Swift Parrots remain, yet forest destruction has continued in their sole breeding sites in eastern Tasmania.
On January 31, the Tasmanian supreme court granted the injunction pending a hearing of the legal challenge brought by the @bobbrownfoundation. A recent report highlights the shocking scale of ongoing destruction, despite the recommendation from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species to halt logging of native forests where these parrots nest.
The Australian government has promised that it will prevent any new extinctions. Conservationists continue to encourage them to uphold their zero extinction commitment. The only way to protect the Swift Parrot, and hundreds of other threatened Australian forest species, is to end native forest logging across Australia and Tasmania.
Join my organization @rewild and pledge your support to protect the remaining breeding habitat of Swift Parrots in Tasmania – link in bio.

A groundbreaking study unravels the science of rediscovering lost species.
The study’s authors—a team of researchers across the globe, including conservationists from @rewild—found that 856 tetrapod species (four-limbed animals; mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians) are currently lost to science. The paper also reveals what we often see with the world’s most wanted lost species: that while many species are difficult to find, new techniques and a bit of effort can result in incredible rediscoveries and conservation measures.
“Everything is connected,” Christina Biggs, study co-author and Re:wild lost species officer, told @scientific_american. “Every single species does matter. It behaves in an ecosystem and fulfills a purpose within it that then underpins all of the life that we have on Earth.”

The rhythm of samba beats to help protect the Amazon’s largest Indigenous group living in relative isolation – the Yanomami people.
For years, the Yanomami people have suffered brutal violence from gold miners and their funders. Illegal mining has contaminated their waters and led to a humanitarian crisis.
“We want your help. We want you to defend our planet Earth, our health, our language, our shaman, our wisdom, our song, our joy. That’s why you’re choosing a very important song for everyone to hear,” said Davi Kopenawa, a Yanomami shaman and spiritual leader.
The @salgueirooriginal have produced a Carnival performance for the streets of Rio De Janeiro dedicated to defending the Yanomami. Brazilians invite the world to come together and celebrate the richness of the Yanomami culture. My organization @rewild is a committed supporter of the Yanomami and we are thrilled to join this celebration of Indigenous resilience and activism.

O ritmo do samba pulsa para ajudar a proteger o maior grupo indígena da Amazônia que vive em relativo isolamento – o povo Yanomami.
Durante anos, o povo Yanomami sofreu violência brutal de garimpeiros e seus financiadores. A mineração ilegal contaminou suas águas e levou a uma crise humanitária de desnutrição, malária, pneumonia e outras doenças que aumentaram as taxas de mortalidade infantil.
“Queremos sua ajuda. Queremos que você defenda nosso planeta Terra, nossa saúde, nossa língua, nosso xamã, nossa sabedoria, nossa música, nossa alegria. É por isso que vocês estão escolhendo uma música muito importante para todos ouvirem”, disse Davi Kopenawa, xamã e líder espiritual Yanomami.
O desfile do @salgueirooriginal este ano é dedicado à defesa dos Yanomami. Em meio a essa tragédia, os brasileiros convidam o mundo a se unir e celebrar a riqueza da cultura Yanomami e sua capacidade de resistência. A @rewild é uma apoiadora comprometida com os Yanomami e está entusiasmada em participar dessa celebração da resiliência e do ativismo indígena diretamente do coração da floresta amazônica.
The first-ever UN report on migratory species reveals the shocking state of species, such as Monarch Butterflies, Northern Right Whales and Green Sea Turtles. Written by the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), a UN biodiversity treaty, this new report reveals the increased risk of extinction for thousands of species globally.
Most shockingly, nearly all – 97% – of listed fish species are threatened with extinction. Over half – 51% – of Key Biodiversity Areas identified as important for migratory animals listed in the CMS do not have protected status. The two greatest threats to these migratory species are overexploitation and habitat destruction due to human activity.
My organization, @rewild and their partners are working to protect and restore habitat critical for migratory species, including islands, breeding and wintering grounds, and ecological corridors.

Saving the Endangered Central Bahamian Rock Iguana.
This striking species is threatened by invasive species and habitat loss and only remains on less than 1% of its former range in the Caribbean.
@rewild and @faunafloraint have partnered with the @bahamasnationaltrust to create a five-year Conservation Action Plan to protect this species. Together we are committed to ensuring a future where the Central Bahamian Rock Iguana thrives once again.
Hear from Giselle Deane, senior science officer, of The Bahamas National Trust on this endemic iguana species. #RewildTheCaribbean
The development of this action plan and the workshop was supported by Re:wild, Fauna & Flora and the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund under the project “Call to Action: Action Planning for Endangered Caribbean Species” (2023-2026), which aims to create enabling conditions for the recovery of priority threatened species in Antigua & Barbuda, The Bahamas, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
