The first reintroduction of African wild dogs to Mozambique has just been completed! The pack’s new home is in @gorongosapark where they are hoping to establish the Wild dog population there. Follow their progress as they get adjusted to their new home. | Repost @endangeredwildlifetrust | They’re on the move! All of the Wild Dogs in this new pack, destined for @gorongosapark, are doing well, and their historic journey is underway! Thanks to Dr Rowan Leeming from Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, who is monitoring their safety alongside the EWT’s Cole du Plessis, and to The Bateleurs for making this flight possible.

River dolphins tend to be very small, as they have evolved to live in warm, shallow water, often fighting against powerful currents.  The largest river dolphin is the Amazon river dolphin (top image), which can reach 8 feet in length.  The smallest is the south Asian river dolphin (two subspecies; the Ganges river dolphin, second image, and the Indus river dolphin, bottom image), which is only about 5 feet in length and one of the smallest dolphin species on Earth.

I love this video by Vox! I can’t help but feel it’s not a coincidence that the diet which is best for the environment is also what’s best for us.

Good News for Animals in Nepal: A Full Year Without Poaching: Bucking the worldwide trend, Nepal continues its successful fight against poaching (by Laurel Neme for National Geographic) 

On World Wildlife Day, March 3, Nepal celebrated 365 days with zero poaching. No rhinos, tigers, or elephants were killed. It’s the second year of such success in Nepal. In 2011 the country also had none, and in 2012 it lost just one rhino to poaching.

Nepal’s remarkable achievement at zero poaching for a second year gives lessons for other countries and hope for the future of our wildlife.

Belize has introduced legislation to ban all oil activity to protect its barrier reef. The Belize Barrier Reef world heritage site is the 2nd largest in the world following the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and includes world famous sites like the Blue Hole. This move will protect 1,400 species but also the livelihoods of over half of the population who depend on the ocean for their tourism and fishery businesses.🌎| Photo: Alamy | #Belize #Caribbean #ocean #oceanconservation #conservation #wildlifeconservation #wildlife #nature #goodnews #endextinction #science #dive #diving #fishing #fisheries #marine #diver #protectedareas #BlueHole #WorldHeritage #reef #coralreef #underwater #scuba #scubadiving #snorkeling #hope #conservationoptimism #KeyConservation
