It’s #InternationalPrimateDay! This International Primate Day, let’s celebrate the collaborative efforts of the IUCN Species Survival Commission Conservation Planning Specialist Group (CPSG) and other organisations for the conservation of the brown howler monkey! From April 2023, key stakeholders gathered for a crucial workshop aimed at saving the brown howler monkey in Misiones, Argentina. Organised under the National Conservation Plan for Primates, the session was spearheaded by national and provincial environmental agencies, in collaboration with international conservation experts. Participants, including government officials, scientists, and conservationists from Argentina and Brazil, explored vital population management strategies like reintroduction and ex situ management, adhering to IUCN guidelines. With the brown howler monkey facing dire threats from habitat loss, disease, and climate change, this multisectoral effort is a beacon of hope for the species' recovery and ecological role.

Join us in celebrating #InternationalWhaleSharkDay! Found in the in the tropical Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, the average length for whale sharks averages 18 and 32 feet (5.5-9.8 m), making it the largest fish in the sea! Whale sharks are classified as endangered by the IUCN Red List. Their populations have declined due to threats such as illegal fishing, bycatch, collisions with boats and human interference through unregulated tourism. Conservation measures are essential for safeguarding whale sharks and some of the key efforts include creating marine protected areas to preserve their natural habitats and enforcing regulations to combat illegal fishing and reduce bycatch. Initiatives like tracking and monitoring programmes help researchers understand their migratory patterns and behaviour, providing data for conservation strategies.

This #HornbillWeek, let's celebrate the amazing hornbills and their unique traits, including their fascinating nesting behaviour! These majestic birds are incredibly devoted parents. During nesting season, the female seals herself inside a tree cavity to lay eggs and raise her chicks, relying entirely on her mate to bring her food until the chicks are ready to fledge in about 3 to 5 months. Sadly, habitat loss is making it harder for hornbills to find these perfect nesting spots. Often called 'farmers of the forests', hornbills play a crucial role in spreading seeds, which helps keep our forests healthy. Protecting their habitats is crucial to ensure that future generations of hornbills can continue to thrive. Let’s raise awareness about their importance and support efforts to protect these remarkable birds and their habitats. Check out this inspiring story of how conservation groups and indigenous communities are banding together to save the Critically Endangered helmeted hornbill in Malaysia: https://bit.ly/3yK6RIn Pictured below: A wreathed hornbill at a nesting site Photo credit: Kaylar Varma #HornbillWeek2024 #hornbill #conservation

Dublin Zoo welcomed a male Bornean orangutan, born to 19-year-old Mujur. Given that orangutans are critically endangered, with females only giving birth every 3 to 5 years, this birth is of great importance for the Orangutan European breeding programme. Dublin Zoo worked to help Mujur develop her maternal instincts before the birth. Despite some progress, she struggled to position the infant correctly for feeding, leading the zoo to make the decision to bottle-feed him.
