It’s always amazing to me that so many endangered species have the word “common” in their name.
Really hammers home how quickly these conservation crises can arise. These animals were common as recently as when we were naming stuff!

Omar Yaghi grew up in Amman, Jordan, where he was responsible for collecting fresh drinking water. "I learned that water is precious," he said.
Those experiences laid the foundation for his work developing MOFs that have revolutionized chemistry, and earned him the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

North Carolina coastal shark found dead at Carolina Beach | Approximately 100% of the time, this results from someone catching the shark, handling it poorly, and “releasing” it.
