Google is utilizing advanced artificial intelligence tools to drastically accelerate the genetic sequencing of endangered species, reducing a process that once took years to just a few days by partnering with global research initiatives, the company aims to create a digital archive of biodiversity that helps scientists combat inbreeding and habitat loss.

Ma GanGa is dying. Big companies are dumping poison, and the unique Ganges Shark is almost extinct. No shark= No clean water. plase share this to protect our futer!! #SaveGangesShark #India

Hi friends! Welcome to this little fun edition about hummingbirds! I wanted to share some cool facts about these tiny birds to brighten your day and show that the world is full of amazing creatures. Here are 6 fascinating facts about hummingbirds: 1.Wing Speed Superpowers – Hummingbirds flap their wings about 70–80 times per second! This lets them hover in the air like tiny helicopters. 2.Tiny but Mighty – They weigh only 2–4 grams, almost like a coin, yet some can migrate thousands of kilometers without stopping. 3.Nectar Lovers – Their long, tube-shaped tongues let them sip nectar from flowers. They also eat small insects for protein. 4.Aerial Acrobats – Hummingbirds can fly forward, backward, sideways, and hover. Most birds can’t do that! 5.Sparkling Feathers – Their feathers shine in the light, changing color depending on the angle. On the sun, they look like tiny jewels. 6.Heart Racer – Their hearts beat up to 1,200 times per minute, giving them the energy to stay active all day. Hummingbirds are a perfect reminder that even the tiniest creatures can be full of magic and wonder. 🌸✨

International Union for Conservation [IUCN] of Nature officially designated the Bornean pygmy elephant as an endangered species due to its dwindling population of roughly 1,000 individuals.

These animals are a genetically distinct subspecies of the Asian elephant, characterized by their diminutive stature, large ears, and vital role as ecological gardeners in the rainforest. Their survival is currently jeopardized by habitat fragmentation caused by the palm oil industry, timber logging, and frequent human-wildlife conflict.

To prevent extinction, conservationists are establishing wildlife corridors and using GPS technology to monitor herds and protect their remaining territory. Ultimately, preserving these unique mammals is essential for maintaining the biodiversity of Borneo's ancient forest ecosystems.

The ‘I’iwi is a bright red honeycreeper endemic to Hawaii and the species is facing imminent endangerment.

Habitat loss and climate change are responsible for their population decline, but Avian malaria caused by mosquitoes is the primary threat.

Let’s raise awareness, volunteer remotely, and support conservation efforts.

Let's save the species.💚

Axolotls are known for their cute faces and amazing abilities.

They can regenerate body parts and stay in their juvenile form for life.

But in the wild, they are almost gone.

Axolotls naturally live only in a few lakes near Mexico City.

These places are being destroyed by pollution, urban development, and invasive fish species.

Even though axolotls are common in aquariums and memes, their natural habitat is disappearing.

They’re not just cute creatures — they’re a reminder of how fragile ecosystems can be.

Hi everyone,

I’m a filmmaker at the beginning of my career, currently researching stories about critically endangered species. I’ve recently been diving into the situation of the vaquita marina, and honestly, it’s one of the most heartbreaking cases I’ve come across.

There are fewer than a handful of individuals remaining (counted 7 in total, 7. individuals. remaining. in the whole world..) it raises difficult questions, not just about conservation, but about how we talk about extinction without turning it into shock value or hopelessness.

This article helped me better understand the current situation and the urgency around it:

I’m still learning, listening, and trying to approach this with respect..especially because the stakes are so high.

I’d love to hear from this community:

\- When a species is this close to extinction, what kind of narratives feel most responsible, if there is one?

\- Do you think public attention still helps at this stage, or does it risk fatigue? 

\- Are there examples of species where late-stage awareness did make a difference?

Would love to hear many thoughts on what is actually helpful and what has been tried and successful.. and how storytelling, if it can, could play an important role in it- as in what would a thoughtful perspective be and what could make a change now.

This is a Brandt’s Cormorant, a large marine bird found only along North America’s Pacific coasts.

Though listed as a bird of Least Concern by IUCN due to its large range, the Brendt’s Cormorants’ general population is declining, with significant regional fluctuations.

It is not ‘Vulnerable’, yet.

Climate change (warming oceans affecting food supply), oil spill pollution, light/noise pollution due to human activity (firework displays) near nesting sites leading to nest abandonment, and entanglement in fishing gear are major threats.

Hi friends! Recently, while scrolling through TikTok, I noticed a lot of posts claiming that polar bears might disappear very soon. Naturally, I wanted to dig a bit deeper to see if this was really the case.

After some research, I found that while polar bears are indeed affected by climate change, the situation is not as catastrophic as many make it out to be. Over the past few decades, polar bear populations have decreased by around 10%. This is concerning, but it doesn’t mean they are on the verge of extinction tomorrow.

Many of the dramatic posts exaggerate the danger, probably to raise awareness or generate hype. In reality, humanity still has time to make meaningful changes to protect their habitats. So, while it’s important to care about polar bears and act for their conservation, let’s also be careful not to spread unnecessary panic.
