  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📸🐸 Joel Sartore has photographed more than 18,000 animal species for #NationalGeographic’s #Photo Ark, each posed against plain black to be seen face to face.

    The #images span creatures large and small, many #endangered or thought #extinct. Sartore’s goal is documenting all roughly 25,000 species in human care before it’s too late.

    A new species of #IceAge toad discovered at La Brea Tar Pits: the spadefoot #toad Spea labreae
    Along with the first description of an #extinct species of #amphibian, the paper also identifies the first record of the Mexican burrowing toad at the Tar Pits, shedding light on climate change impacts on species distributions past, present, and future

  7. Scientists race to collect the last #seeds from a critically #endangered #tree on Robinson Crusoe Island in #Chile before it goes #extinct
    Seeds from the last surviving wild Dendroseris neriifolia tree are now stored in Kew Gardens' Millennium #SeedBank, a botanic garden in West Sussex, England, where scientists are conducting germination trials and storing material for long-term conservation as researchers work to find ways to reintroduce the species into the wild.

  9. For more than 20 years, no one had confirmed seeing the tiny gray fox that once roamed the forests of the Mexican island of Cozumel. Many assumed the animal had gone extinct.

    In 2023, a University of Rhode Island doctoral student planning a diving trip to the island stumbled upon the mystery of the missing fox and decided he had to find out whether the critically endangered fox was still in existence.

  15. Decades after going #extinct in #Japan, 8 Crested Ibises, admired for their colorful plumage & bright red marks around their eyes, have been released into the wild. The birds went extinct on the Honshu main island in the 1970s, but came back to life in 1999, when artificial breeding by a pair donated from China led to the first Japanese #CrestedIbis chick born in captivity. 10 more birds are waiting to be released following a successful captive-breeding program.

  17. @kcarruthers #Greenwashing #AI #slop doesn't address the root cause: #Capitalism #greed is focusing classic #AbuseOfPower in applying #ClimateCrisis metrics, from monopolizing #FossilFuels in #DataCenters - multiplying effects are rendering more and more life #extinct

    Replace #TechBros and #FossilFuels leaders with ethical #RootInfrastructure #scientists.
