Honored to announce that “The Golden Toad: An Ecological Mystery and the Search for a Lost Species” will be published by @diversionbooks.bsky.social this June! Written by me and Kyle Ritland, with art by Daniel Wesson and support from @rewildorg.bsky.social (plus a TON of support from Monteverde)…
Gold text on a green-leaf background reads “The Golden Toad: An Ecological Mystery and the Search for a Lost Species,” by Trevor Ritland and Kyle Ritland. A mysterious silhouette acts as the outline in the ‘A’ - a golden toad perhaps???

While visiting Papua New Guinea (PNG) in May, I met a group of birders finishing their mission to PNG in search of “lost species.” These are species that do not have recent sightings reported on ebird...

On #LostSpecies Day, there are 10,855 species now categorized as 'critically endangered' or 'extinct in the wild' on the IUCN Red List. Don't let them go the way of the aurochs.
idoliven.com Ido Liven @idoliven.com · Sep 21
Finally managed to visit this monument, dedicated to the last aurochs, hunted outside Warsaw nearly 400 years ago.
Since we're well into the 6th mass extinction, there must be some memorialization for other bygone species, right?
A large dark boulder depicting an aurochs head on a white painted concrete pedestal. An inscription in Polish on the rock reads "The Aurochs - Bos primigenius bojanus, the ancestor of domestic cattle, lived in the (are now known as) the Jaktorowska forest reserve until the year 1627".

🦜 Incredible news from Indonesia.

The Blue-fronted Lorikeet, one of the world's rarest parrots, has been rediscovered after being largely unseen for nearly 100 years.

A rare reminder that nature still has mysteries left to reveal. 🌎✨

Scientists say they are close to resurrecting a lost species. Is the age of de-extinction upon us?

‘Resurrection science’ is gaining steam, but are scientists any closer to reviving lost species? | CNN
Colossal Biosciences, which aims to revive extinct species, announced it has raised an additional $200 million. Critics say de-extinction in its purest sense isn’t possible.

On #LostSpecies day, worth reflecting on what we've lost locally.
E.g. Round-leaved Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia). It's insectivorous, and lives in very low nutrient wetlands. Last recorded in Lye Valley in 1964, now extinct in Oxon.
We hope to get it back one day...
