Monarch population overwintering in Mexico declined by 59%
Every winter, when monarchs are huddled together in Mexico to ride out the winter, a density assessment is made in an attempt to determine a head count of the Monarchs roosting there. The trend has been downward with just a couple of years showing a moderate increase, and the trajectory of decline has been steep.
Nonetheless, this one guy from the U. of Georgia waves around his doctorate degree in front of the USDA to proclaim that Monarchs aren't endangered. Mainstream press still takes this pinhead seriously, too. As if Monarchs haven't suffered enough from habitat loss, this particular un-named pinhead is on the war path to eradicate a particular milkweed because, he claims, it isn't native even though it has been in the Americas longer than Europeans have.
While home-rearing Monarchs won't put the brakes on such a steep decline, home rearing makes a difference between dying by predator and parasite early or living another day to lay more eggs. If you decide to make that kind of difference to your local Monarchs, don't let any Georgian pinhead or his army stop you.

An endangered species that only lives in the mountains between Iran, #Azerbaijan and eastern @Iraq.
There are less than a 1000 of them alive in the wild and they are target of poachera and hunters who sell their horns and hoofs to highest bidders.
Their beauty is unique and their amazing lifestyle in the harsh and hard to reach mountains of #Zagross where they live is just too sad for the world to lose.
Just look at this amazing beauty!
An image of 2 new born #Persian #Leopards that are extremely #endangered.
The 2 female cubs, named Azar-Khanum anf Turan-Khanum were released by #Iranian #wildlife association.
These big cats are among less than 200 remaining Leopards in Iran and about 1000 in the world.

Extinction obituary: why experts weep for the quiet and beautiful Hawaiian po’ouli
Frantic conservation efforts couldn’t save the tiny, intricately colored songbird, whose obit is the first in our new series of memorials for species that have gone extinct in living memory
The last po’ouli died in an unusual nest. Too weak to perch, the brownish-greyish songbird rested in a small towel twisted into a ring. He was the last of his species, the last in fact of an entire group of finches, and occurred nowhere on Earth outside its native Hawaii. For weeks, as scientists tried to find him a mate, he had been getting sicker. The only remaining po’ouli had just one eye. Alone in the towel, alone in all the world, he closed it.

Today is Endangered Species Day
Every year on the third Friday in May, thousands of people around the world participate in Endangered Species Day by celebrating, learning about, and taking action to protect threatened and endangered species.
Scientists tell us the best way to protect endangered species is to protect the special places where they live. Wildlife must have places to find food, shelter and raise their young. Logging, oil and gas drilling, over-grazing and development all result habitat destruction. Endangered species habitat should be protected and these impacts minimized.
