These jaguars may all look alike, but it's their rosettes which tell them apart. 🐆
After analysing thousands of camera trap imagery in Madre de Dios, monitoring teams identified a total of 75 jaguars in the area over two years!
Here are just a few they spotted. 👇

We can’t be the only ones who can’t wait to tune in to #AGorillaStory on Netflix 🦍
There are still only around 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the wild. But, thanks to incredible conservation efforts, their numbers are on the rise.
The story of this incredible species isn’t over yet.

For lions, room to roam means survival.
But these big cats have lost 90% of their historic range in the last 100 years. That's why WWF is working with local partners and communities to help keep wildlife corridors open.
Because when wildlife can move freely, everyone benefits.
Vibrant colours are returning to Rio's skies. 🌈
Blue-and-yellow macaws could once again be seen flying over the city, centuries after deforestation pushed them out. Incredible to see the work of this 'refaunation' project paying off. 💚
Have you ever seen a fluffier, more impressive tail? 🥹
Snow leopards have incredibly long & fluffy tails, measuring up to a metre!
It’s thought they help these cats to balance & act as a wrap-around to keep them warm. 🧡

Ten emperor penguins in snow with a grey sky behind them. Text reads "Emperor penguins now endangered" with a red box around the last word.
Emperor penguins have been reclassified from ‘Near Threatened’ to ‘Endangered’.
We need to take action to tackle climate change and safeguard their habitats.
The fate of these magnificent birds is in our hands.

Text title reads ‘Kenya's Tsavo West Rhino Sanctuary now the largest in the world.’ A young rhino calf in the mud with mother behind. The calf faces straight to the lens as it stands in the mud, its body muddy from being submerged, the outline of the mother behind is just visible.
A big win for black rhinos. 🦏 👏
The recently established Tsavo West Rhino Sanctuary now provides 3,200km² of rhino habitat, hugely expanding the existing 92km² Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary.
This positive step will help encourage population growth with hopes to increase no’s in Kenya to 2,000 by 2037. 💚
A young gorilla hangs from a short tree on the right-hand side of the image. On the left, two people with their phones out taking images. Surrounded by vibrant green vegetation. Text reads: Turning tourism into conservation. An arrow points towards the young gorilla.
Tourism, when done right, can support conservation.
In Bwindi, Uganda, tourists’ park entry fees and gorilla‑trek permits contribute funds for rangers, habitat protection, and community projects.

The latest reports show populations in Mexico surged 64% this season, possibly due to a drop in forest degradation in their overwintering habitat.
Conservation efforts in Mexico and in the US are working and offering real hope for the species’ recovery. ❤️
We call them marine PROTECTED areas, but bottom trawlers are still tearing up seabeds.
If we want thriving oceans, these areas must be kept off-limits.

Good news for otters! 🙌
A NEW fish sanctuary has been declared on Nepal’s Lower Kanali River! By protecting fish populations, it creates a thriving habitat for smooth-coated otters & Ganges River dolphins. 🦦 💚
Made possible thanks to funding from the UK Government through the Darwin Initiative.
