The match has already started !
Not in stadiums, but across biodiversity systems under pressure.
Species are not just symbols — they are players in a global system of ecological strain.
OURANOS reads the game.

This Mother’s Day, remember : wildlife trafficking often begins with the separation of young animals from their mothers.
The consequences can extend far beyond capture, affecting survival, behaviour, welfare, and conservation.

Biodiversity is a data system as much as a natural one. Today, signals of change are increasingly visible — in ecosystems, in trade networks, and online. The question is no longer what biodiversity is, but how much of it remains detectable.

AI is reshaping wildlife conservation—helping monitor biodiversity, but also enabling fake animal content and misleading “rescues”.
In conservation, verification is now essential.

Happy #Worldbinturongday !
Today, we celebrate the #binturong (#bearcat), a wonderful creature smelling like popcorn, but endangered by pet trade, bush meat consumption and threatened by abusive handling. Even on the internet, cuteness is a burden !

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough — a life devoted to revealing the beauty and fragility of life on Earth.
We take inspiration from this vision of science in service of biodiversity.

New educational guide: what to do when you see a sloth in the wild 🦥
Based on field experience, it highlights a simple principle: in most cases, do not intervene.
BTW context matters — safe forest crossings vs. immediate urban danger.
Full guide here 🌿

#Sloths
31 sloths have been found dead in the despicable Sloth World in Florida.
Two sloths were dead on arrival after one shipment from Peru. Eight sloths "appeared emaciated and in very poor health" — and later died, according to the report.
Florida wildlife officials discovered them after a routine and unannounced inspection. They say the sloths died from cold exposure and poor conditions.
Under Florida statutes, Sloth World had no obligation to report the deaths.
Sloth World should not exist. Sloths are uniquely unsuited to exposure to the stress of long transport and captivity.
Would people flock to visit if they knew of the extreme cruelty, starting with brutal capture from their forest home?

#Sloths
A legal sloth shipping crate.
From Georgetown, Guyana → Miami, Florida, likely time in crate:
Best case: ~18–36 hours
But could be: 48+ hours
Extremely sensitive to stress, noise and temperature, you can see why they can die in transit.
This is the largest pangolin scale bust in Vietnam recently. In addition to jail time, they were slapped with fines totaling 80 million VND. Mrs. Bui Thi Ha, Vice Director of ENV, highlighted that this strict sentence proves no one is above the law

🌍 On this Earth Day, biodiversity loss is not only happening in forests. It is also happening online. Wildlife trade, exotic pets, and misleading content shape real-world impacts. Understanding digital threats is part of protecting our planet.
