From this, we recommend that these populations be managed as a single unit, where further translocations can be used to facilitate gene flow to maintain diversity for this threatened insect. For more on their #CaptiveBreeding programme, see www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... 4/5

Dear Alberta caribou, we're coming for you (in order to satisfy our insatiable appetite for more hydrocarbons).

From the brink of extinction to a hopeful recovery, the #Iberianlynx is making a comeback thanks to #captivebreeding efforts—but their future remains uncertain. Habitat loss and prey scarcity are just a few of the challenges they face, but they can persist. Learn more: tinyurl.com/ysbnscer
