"In one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, a remarkable thing has happened—the scimitar-horned oryx, once declared extinct in the wild, is now classified only as endangered.

It’s the first time the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world’s largest conservation organization, has ever moved a species on its Red List from ‘Extinct in the Wild’ to ‘Endangered.’

The recovery was down to the conservation work of zoos around the world, but also from game breeders in the Texas hill country, who kept the oryx alive while the governments of Abu Dhabi and Chad worked together on a reintroduction program.

Chad... ranks second-lowest on the UN Development Index. Nevertheless, it is within this North African country that can be found the Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi Achim Faunal Reserve, a piece of protected desert and savannah the size of Scotland—around 30,000 square miles, or 10 times the size of Yellowstone.

At a workshop in Chad’s capital of N’Djamena, in 2012, Environment Abu Dhabi, the government of Chad, the Sahara Conservation Fund, and the Zoological Society of London, all secured the support of local landowners and nomadic herders for the reintroduction of the scimitar-horned oryx to the reserve.

Environment Abu Dhabi started the project, assembling captive animals from zoos and private collections the world over to ensure genetic diversity. In March 2016, the first 21 animals from this “world herd” were released over time into a fenced-off part of the reserve where they could acclimatize. Ranging over 30 miles, one female gave birth—the first oryx born into its once-native habitat in over three decades.

In late January 2017, 14 more animals were flown to the reserve in Chad from Abu Dhabi.

In 2022, the rewilded species was officially assessed by the IUCN’s Red List, and determined them to be just ‘Endangered,’ and not ‘Critically Endangered,’ with a population of between 140 and 160 individuals that was increasing, not decreasing.

It’s a tremendous achievement of international scientific and governmental collaboration and a sign that zoological efforts to breed endangered and even extinct animals in captivity can truly work if suitable habitat remains for them to return to."

Setting up Ark Nova (board game) for the first time and couldn’t help but notice

They’ve lumped North and South America together!??

Europe and Asia get separate tokens (as they should)

So why did they lump the Americas??

Hello??? South America is one of the most biodiverse places in the world??

S. America has more KINDS OF BIRDS (3000) than Europe has: Mammals (270) birds (800) amphibians (75) and fish (344) COMBINED

I’d just like to know why Ark Nova did this please and thank you 🙏

Day 5: Bill in a Pysch Ward 💥

@eltingpril Wanted to draw the little freak leaning towards the comic style... not really I can't ever draw Bill in one style 💔 He definitely went there by the way it's canon. And I made this other drawing of him at a mental asylum a week or two ago LMFAO

Blue Dragon

This blue dragon (latin name: Glaucus atlanticus) is part of the Glaucidae family. Their native habitat is wardm oceans like the Atlantics, pacific, and Indian oceans.

These tiny dragons eat Portuguese man o’ wars and stores their stingers for its own defense!

Despite its beautiful blue color, it’s highly toxic to predators.
