Deep-sea mining threatens over half of molluscs reliant on hydrothermal vents, according to a new @IUCNRedList update.

They are found only at depths up to 5,000 metres below sea level, around vents spewing out water that can be over 450 degrees Celsius.

🐘 Dig on Julie!

As she settles into life at Pangea Elephant Sanctuary, Julie has been busy using her tusks to dig and forage. This is a natural behaviour wild elephants use to find food beneath the surface and a wonderful sign Julie is feeling comfortable in her new home.💚

Pangea was a dream of my mother, Virginia McKenna, years ago & is supported by @BornFreeFDN @OATanimaltrust @MoveTheWorld @brigitte_bardot amongst others. I’m so blessed that Mum, now 95, saw the dream become reality. Visit https://t.co/WkKj49pb2p to help. Thanks @DrTOMontgomery

Le lundi 29 juin, Virunga a officiellement ouvert la première de six stations de dépistage prévues en Ituri et au Nord-Kivu, dans le cadre de la riposte à l'épidémie d'Ebola, en collaboration avec les autorités sanitaires et les partenaires sur le terrain.⁠
⁠
La station est située à Zunguluka, en Ituri, l'épicentre de l'épidémie. Le personnel a été recruté, formé et équipé pour effectuer des contrôles de température, promouvoir le lavage des mains, sensibiliser et signaler les cas suspects.⁠
⁠
Cette action est soutenue par l'Union européenne, qui contribue à protéger les communautés et à renforcer les capacités de prévention face à la propagation de l'épidémie.⁠

When they're not protecting elephants, our herd is running for them.

Congratulations to the STE team, and our friends, who ran the @LewaConservancy Safari Marathon this past weekend, and to the amazing cheering squad who kept the team going every step of the way.

Buntings are small birds. But don’t be surprised by their voice. They can belt it out at many a decibel as these Cirl bunting pair or this Corn bunting. Both have a rattling call much like shaking a bunch of keys but the Corn has some squeaks added to his repertoire!

'After decades of development, wildlife surveillance has finally come of age. The new Icarus satellite is tracking signals hidden in animal behaviour – which could save the lives of cheetahs, rhinos and elephants.'
