Just over a decade ago, the arapaima — a fish capable of growing up to 10 feet long and weighing up to 500 pounds — faced extinction, its numbers ravaged by overfishing. But conservation efforts spearheaded by local communities have turned things around, with arapaima numbers dramatically increasing across the Amazon ??. The arapaima’s resurgence is a conservation triumph that can serve as a blueprint for safeguarding other large aquatic species in the Amazon and globally, according to Brazilian ecologist and #NatGeoExplorer Jo?o Campos-Silva. And it highlights the crucial role of local communities in leading successful conservation endeavors. Campos-Silva works with communities along the Juruá River, a major Amazon tributary in western Brazil, as part of the National Geographic and ROLEX #PerpetualPlanet Amazon Expedition — a multi-year science and storytelling exploration of the Amazon River basin to further our understanding of this intricate freshwater system and advance solutions to ensure its protection.

These are the examples we need to multiply.

We won’t ask you to give up animal products. At Contingent Films, we WILL ask you to reconsider supporting industries profiting from the exploitation of endangered species. Our mini-series, SAVING THE WILD, explores the real conservation efforts happening in Africa, highlighting the fight to protect elephants, rhinos, and big cats from the brink of extinction. This series is about more than just saving individual animals—it’s about safeguarding entire ecosystems and the future of our planet’s biodiversity. Conservation is not just an idea, it’s an urgent need, and we can all be part of the solution. If you want to know what’s really going on in African wildlife conservation, watch: SAVING THE WILD here: https://lnkd.in/gNa65BZt Distributed by @TVF International. #ConservationMatters #ProtectEndangeredSpecies #AfricanWildlife #SavingTheWild #ContingentFilms #NaturalHistoryDocumentary #TVFInternational

???? On this World Penguin Day, we highlight the Galápagos Penguin, the world's only northerly penguin species found exclusively in the Galápagos islands. However, these penguins are facing challenges such as declining populations due to changing ocean conditions and the presence of introduced predators. ?? As we commemorate World Penguin Day, let's also recognize the importance of conservation efforts to protect these amazing birds and their marine ecosystem. Global collaboration and local commitment are essential to ensuring a secure future for the Galápagos Penguins. ?? https://lnkd.in/euXJJfWF

We’re thrilled to announce the signing of a two-year MoU with the Wildlife and Nature Protection Society (WNPS) to support reforestation efforts along a 9km stretch of the Maskeli Oya riverbank in the Maskeliya region and the waterways of Nanu Oya within Bearwell Estate, Thalawakele. This partnership aims to preserve land in its natural state, transform private areas into conservation zones where possible, and carry out scientific rehabilitation on degraded land. Together, we’re sowing seeds today for forests that lasts for generations! #Hemas #HemasHoldingsPLC #WNPS??

A MIRACULOUS recovery! ??? Often compared to mythical creatures, the saiga antelope's survival story is no less extraordinary. In 2005, Kazakhstan’s saiga population hit just 48,000. This year, thanks to bold efforts by the government, local communities, and NGOs, it’s soared to 1.9 million. With these ancient steppe dwellers edging back from the brink of extinction, plans to manage the sustainable trade of this ice-age species were discussed at the Convention on Migratory Species earlier this year. Stockpile management of saiga horn, widely used in traditional medicine, is critical to ensure sustainable, legal trade and safeguard the species' future. Their story is proof that conservation efforts can truly make a difference. ????

?? The Bird Migration Routes Over Israel Every year, Israel's skies host one of the most spectacular natural events—millions of birds migrate over the country, using it as a critical stop on their journey. ??? A Global Crossroads Situated at the intersection of three continents, Israel serves as a vital pathway for over 500 million birds annually. ?? Unique Ecosystems From the Hula Valley to the Arava Desert, diverse habitats support the needs of migrating species like cranes, pelicans, and storks. ?? Cultural Significance For centuries, migratory birds have inspired art, literature, and conservation efforts in the region. The skies over Israel are a testament to the country’s natural beauty and its role in global ecological systems.
