Langebaan Lagoon is a unique marine tidal wetland inside the West Coast National Park. It is not fed by any fresh river water, making it entirely marine. It protects roughly 30% to 32% of South Africa's salt marshes and hosts tens of thousands of migratory birds each summer
Northern White Rhino: now extinct in the wild. With the death of the last male, only two females remain in the whole world
A species that weathered millions of years but couldn’t survive human actions, mainly poaching and habitat destruction
The Northern White Rhino is now officially extinct in the wild. The last male has died, leaving only two females. This marks the end of a subspecies due to poaching and habitat loss.
On #WorldWildlifeDay, we confront a stark reality: since 1970, 66% of Africa's wildlife has been lost. 🦒 Statistics like this represent the silent vanishing of species from once-thriving wild spaces. Poaching and habitat destruction stand as the biggest contributors to this colossal loss of biodiversity. Climate change, too, is a major threat and is rapidly exacerbating the dangers already faced by Africa's unique ecosystems. Say NO to poaching and habitat loss – our commitment today can secure a thriving future for the wild wonders that call Africa home. 🌳🤝
Thank you to @AllianceMediaSA who is flighting this message on billboards across the continent, calling Africans to protect their natural heritage.

🚨 Rhino poaching surges by 10% in South Africa, posing a grave threat to conservation efforts.
