Fidel Heras Cruz, river defender, is one of many people who have been murdered this year for acting in protection of human rights. May he Rest In Peace.

#México comienza el año con una noticia lamentable para el sector ambiental del país: el asesinato del defensor del medio ambiente Fidel Heras Cruz. El crimen ocurrió en Oaxaca, donde han matado a 25 defensores en los últimos cuatro años. ⬇️ https://t.co/6aKhFy4Fln

Even a small fish can make big waves! Goldfish are one of the top freshwater invasive species. Please look into "Surrender, Don't Release" orgs if you can no longer care for your aquatic, amphibious, or exotic pets!

[SHOAL @Shoal_Org]

Shoal raises awareness for and directs funding to endangered species that are overlooked. Freshwater conservation receives a fraction of the interest of marine or terrestrial, partly due to a perceived lack of charisma among the species. This must change.

65 million yr old “living fossil” fish feared to be extinct has been filmed and photographed, providing fresh hope for its long-term survival.

Freshwater species are incredible. Unfortunately just out Living Planet Report: average 84% decline in abundance of FW populations since 1970. FW Emergency Recovery Plan urgently needed https://t.co/us5bAIbzKv @UNBiodiversity @UN_Water @UNEP @unepwcmc @david_tickner @IUCN_Water

The Shaw Galaxia is Australia’s most threatened fish, 70% chance of extinction by 2040. 16 more Galaxia species have 50-70% chance of going extinct by 2020. But, proven conservation actions can save them.

The floods, a disaster that Assam suffers every year, now deposit sand on farmlands along rivers because the fertile silt is held back by dams.

Human actions, such as land development and overhunting, have caused the extinction of hundreds of species. Some animals, thought to have been extinct, have been rediscovered and actions are being taken to preserve their existence!

Lahontan cutthroat trout, an endangered trout species in Nevada, is now thriving after effective conservation actions by the Summit Lake Paiute Tribe. The trout was listed as endangered, but has been downlisted due to invasive species management and re-introductions.
