For #WorldRhinoDay2020 I wanted to bring attention to @OlPejeta which houses the last two Northern White Rhinos in the world, Najin + Fatu. I was fortunate enough to speak with Dr. Ngulu, head vet at the conservancy about the work they're doing. That episode will be out soon!
Its death was just 128 years after thylacines were scientifically described in 1808.
Tasmanians started the first bounty for killing #thylacines in 1830. They were accused of killing sheep - something we now know rarely happened. Extinction was the result. #ThreatenedSpeciesDay
#OnThisDay (September 1), 106 years ago, Martha, the last passenger pigeon in the world, died in the Cincinnati zoo.
We remember this sad event as a poignant reminder of the need for effective and ongoing #conservation.

A dark day in the history of #thylacines: on this day in 1884, farmers in eastern #Tasmania met to form the Buckland and Spring Bay Tiger and Eagle Extermination Society, establishing a bounty of £5 for each adult #thylacine killed. The last known thylacine died 52 years later.
I am excited for the newest episode of Endling. In this crossover, I speak with Emily of @WomenArchys about the #cultural and #economic importance of #salmon in the #PacificNorthwest, the recovery of #bison, and the loss of the #passengerpigeon. The episode will be out this week!
Very excited to be recording a crossover episode with @WomenArchys today! We'll be talking about the impacts on native cultures when traditional animal use is displaced. Stay tuned!
The podcast is approaching 2,000 plays. I never thought that my little podcast would get past 100 plays. I am so grateful that others are interested in these stories. Thank you, everyone!!
