Taking dust baths helps elephants protect their skin from the sun, cool off, and keep insects at bay. Plus, it's a social activity that helps strengthen bonds within the herd.

Animals are vital for a healthy planet. They promote pollination, maintain balanced food webs, and enhance an ecosystem’s carbon storage capacity.

Simply put, prioritizing wildlife conservation and restoring endangered species means saving the planet. 🌍 #EndangeredSpeciesDay

Exciting news for pangolin conservation from Cameroon! Our new study finds that pangolin meat consumption has fallen in urban Cameroon in the past two years, as support for a law banning the capture and killing of these endangered animals has risen. wildaidafrica.org/posts/pangolin…

Big win for wildlife and pangolins. Little by little the awareness will yield global consciousness

🗺️ #DYK that Cocos Island has one of the highest concentrations of sharks in the world?

🏝️ Home to a rich ecosystem of over 2600 plant and animal species — the effective management of this conservation area is paramount for the Government of Costa Rica 🇨🇷 and Amigos Isla del Coco (Faico).

Meet the thresher shark! They're known for their whip-like tails that can stun prey instantly. 🦈

These unique sharks are at risk due to demand for their meat & other parts. We're on a mission to reduce this demand, strengthen protections, and give all sharks a chance to thrive!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the planet’s moms! Your love, support, and wisdom make this wild world a better place. Today and every day we celebrate you and all you do. 🌎💕

Pangolins have survived for over 80 million years.

However, the demand for pangolin meat and scales is pushing all 8 species of these shy, gentle animals to the brink of extinction today.

We're working to reduce the demand for pangolin parts. Learn more: wildaid.org/programs/pango…
