Looking forward to a mouse-free Marion! Several of the seabirds that breed there visit us in the Western Hemisphere! https://t.co/IS0kUoy6uZ

Glad to have ocean conservation at the front of the news - let's make sure that protection for seabirds is included!

[American Bird Conservancy @ABCbirds]

This new treaty is great news for the oceans and people. @ABCbirds' goal is to ensure that seabirds get proper consideration in the new protected areas and environmental assessments that follow this historic achievement. https://t.co/Z8oK34OQcV

Nice work @DallasZoo!

[Dallas Zoo @DallasZoo]

Happy #WorldPenguinDay! At the Zoo, our penguins are currently off-habitat because of avian flu in Texas. To help protect endangered African penguins in the wild, we've partnered with Dyer Island Conservation Trust to install nearly 1,500 artificial nests across South Africa.

We need more Giant Fulmars in our lives!

3 million years ago, this brutish giant petrel likely eviscerated dead seals with its knife-like beak https://t.co/bJ46KqzMdJ

Sadly true for so many seabirds.

[Seabird Ecology Lab @SeabirdEcology]

Cats are a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide. In #CaboVerde it is the most important cause of added adult mortality, which is driving gongon to extinction. This one, recorded by @projecto_vito in #Fogo, is their last killing📸@gomes_ivandra #Pterodroma feae. #CatsClosed

#ExpeditionDiablotin has ended, but hope continues because of the choices made by the people of #Dominica to maintain the forests and biodiversity of “The Nature Island”!

[Seabird Ecology Lab @SeabirdEcology]

#ExpeditionDiablotin ended. Overall, 50km walk, 3.800m altitud, in the rainforest with our #detectiondog Africa, thermal binoculars, spotlights, lots of mud, rain, fog, wind. No clear evidence #Diablotin is still here🤷but Africa found 2 possible burrows👉will need confirmation🤞

[ABCbirds Marine Program @ABCbirdsMarine]

Great work by all our partners on @ExpeditionDiablotin! @ABCbirds @BirdsCaribbean @SeabirdEcology @EPICislands @YvanSatge @dominicaforest2

[Environmental Protection in the Caribbean @EPICislands]

Check out the thick vegetation and steep climb tackled by Professor Jacob González-Solís and his #detectiondog Africa, in the company of @YvanSatgé, and Stephan Durand. Africa is a four-year-old female Springer Spaniel who was trained to identify and mark #petrel chicks and nests

[ABCbirds Marine Program @ABCbirdsMarine]

Hey @DomWhale ! While you are out looking at the big ‘uns - have you seen #Diablotin? They like the same habitat as #SpermWhale, and might still nest on #Dominica! Please reach out to #ExpeditionDiablotin to collaborate! (Pic by K.Sutherland)

[ABCbirds Marine Program @ABCbirdsMarine]

#Dominica has led the #Caribbean in protecting its forests and biodiversity - has #Diablotin been hiding here for 100yrs? Follow #ExpeditionDiablotin as we search!

[ABCbirds Marine Program @ABCbirdsMarine]

@YvanSatge checks camera traps as #conservationdog Africa looks on as part of ongoing #ExpeditionDiablotin in #Dominica

[ABCbirds Marine Program @ABCbirdsMarine]

The #Diablotin, namesake of the highest mountain of #Dominica, hasn’t been seen nesting on the island for 100 years. Can #ExpeditionDiablotin change that? Follow along to find out! @ABCbirds @SeabirdEcology @BirdsCaribbean @EPICislands @4ocean @PackardFdn @the_ocean_5

[Seabird Ecology Lab @SeabirdEcology]

Have you ever seen this bird? Perhaps you can help us to find some evidences of #Diablotin in #Dominica! If you have any informtion or you know someone who may have it, please contact us! Please RT!
