Zebras may look calm & elegant, but surviving in the wild takes toughness. Across Africa, they travel long distances for food & water—moving from open plains to steep mountain terrain.
Mountain zebras live above 6,500 feet, with hooves adapted for climbing rocky slopes. ⛰️

Nepal is counting its tigers.
This national survey helps scientists understand whether conservation efforts are working and where tigers still need protection.
We’ll be sharing how the count works in the weeks ahead, leading up to the results this April.

“Incredibly good news” for caribou on Baffin Island 🦌
After a major collapse a decade ago, the herd has grown to more than 48,000 animals — a nearly ten-fold recovery.
A hopeful reminder that community-led conservation and good science can help wildlife rebound.

The Central Arctic Ocean is the last ocean with year-round sea ice — and a refuge for ice-dependent life.
With the High Seas Treaty now in force, there’s a real opportunity to protect this fragile ecosystem before industrial pressures grow.
Here's why this matters AND what’s at stake. 👇

This is not a loon. It's an African penguin 🐧
African penguins make a loud braying call that sounds a lot like a donkey (which earned them the nickname “jackass penguin”).
This Penguin Awareness Day we’re celebrating one of the most at-risk penguin species in the world.

A milestone moment for the ocean 🌊
Today, the #HighSeasTreaty enters into force, helping protect marine life in the two-thirds of the ocean beyond national borders.
Canada championed and signed the treaty in 2024 BUT has not ratified it yet. As an ocean nation, it's time to come on board.

For the first time ever, a tigress & her five cubs were filmed together in Northeast China. Five cubs is incredibly rare for Amur tigers.
Just over a decade ago, China’s wild Amur tiger population had fallen to about 20 individuals. Today, it’s estimated at around 70. 🧡🐯
