👋🥺 Too little, too late? Dugongs, the pudgy marine mammals that once inspired homesick sailors' fanciful tales of mythical mermaids, are now extinct in China, new research shows.  For hundreds of years, these gentle giants, commonly known as sea cows, have swum in Chinese waters, ripping up seagrasses on the ocean bottom with a flexible upper lip. But with no sea cow sightings confirmed in the region for more than two decades, an international team of scientists recently undertook an in-depth investigation, surveying local fishing communities across four Chinese provinces and searching for evidence of the missing dugongs (Dugong dugon).  👉 Tap the bio link to learn more about the search for dugongs! 📸: Sunphol Sorakul/Getty Images #marinelife #marineconservation #marinebiology #seacow #extinctionisforever #wildlifeconservation #seagrass #habitats #environmentalprotection #ecologist #extinction #ecology #weirdstuff #maritimehistory #unsustainable #technologynews #historygram #symbolic #zoology #conservation #wildlifeeducation #wildlife #animals #science #manatees #ecosystem #biome #preservenature #savethewater #species

Gentler gardening habits are better for wildlife - by leaving leaves and herbaceous borders to naturally decay and cutting back little by little as the winter progresses slowly into spring we can still garden and manage but still provide places for insects that in turn provide nourishment for birds, also robins keep you company (they see us as rooting pigs that disturb the soil meaning worms will be easier to find!) and those orange feathers what a colour, little bobbins #robins #leavetheleaves #habitats #gardenbirds

🌳Deforestation like this is drastically reshaping landscapes. And the impact goes beyond the visible: ecosystems are disrupted, biodiversity lost, and livelihoods endangered. But united, we can reverse this trend – by advocating for change, supporting sustainable practices, and championing people and nature. How are you helping to protect nature?

By 2100, half of all species could be pushed near extinction, but it's not too late to change that! See how three species, on the brink of extinction, made a comeback in “Back from the Brink." 🌎 The film, narrated by Clare Danes, showcases the efforts of conservationists, biologists, and ordinary citizens who worked tirelessly to save these animals. Get inspired with these amazing stories of resilience and triumph. 🦸 “Back from the Brink" is now playing in the Giant Dome Theater, add a showing onto your next visit! 🔗 Ticket link in bio. #MSIChicago #BackfromtheBrink #WildlifeConservation #biology #nature #habitats

Indigo snakes are a vital species in maintaining ecosystems across the southeastern US. 🐍 They’re a snake-eating-snake – a top predator that keeps other snakes in-check and at stable numbers. So when indigo populations began to decline due to the loss of longleaf pine forests, it risked spelling disaster for the entire ecosystem.
