The #COVID19 pandemic is a wake-up call.

On average, 1 new infectious disease emerges in humans every 4 months. 75% of these emerging infectious diseases come from animals.

To prevent further outbreaks, the illegal wildlife trade & destruction of habitats must stop.

@OliviaMartin_96 I appreciate the fact that it’s mostly local landowners who are encouraging the development of the corridors through their lands! We need more large landowners like that.

@YellowstoneNPS will be on Facebook live to answer questions about the success of wolf reintroduction in the park. Great use of social media! #comms4cons
(Btw wolves are sedated in this photo for research purposes)

[Yellowstone National Park @YellowstoneNPS]

It's been assumed that #platypuses are common, but #platypus populations haven't actually been monitored. A new study of threats by @CES_UNSW paints a bleak picture.
If it's not considered a conservation priority "we may wake up and realise it’s too late.”

@RainforestTrust are working towards and almost at their goal of purchasing a large area of land rich with biodiversity. This could be a great success for conservation! #comms4cons

[Rainforest Trust @RainforestTrust]

Tapirs have been around for about 20 million years, and in all that time, they've changed very little. This makes them one of the most primitive large mammals in the world! #TBT

Take action to protect habitat for endangered tapirs today: https://t.co/SydvlWZP55
