While feral domesticated cats are a big problem in a lot of places (including NYC) and need vigorous #TNVR / #TNR or relocation, #WildFelines need to be protected!In #Brazil, #conservationists try to save one of the world’s most #endangered #cats

"- #Muñoa’s #Pampas cat, a small wild feline, is endemic to the Pampas grasslands that sprawl over southern Brazil, #Uruguay and northeastern #Argentina.

"- With fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild, experts call Muñoa’s pampas cat one of the most endangered felines in the world and warn it go extinct within 10 years as its natural habitat is cleared for #cropland.

- #Conservation plans to save the species include switching from #monocultures to extensive ranching that preserves the natural #grasslands, creating a #captivebreeding program, and developing a trinational conservation agreement.

"- Recent #floods in the Brazilian state of #RioGrandeDoSul, where many Muñoa’s Pampas cat sightings have been recorded, have currently halted all local #conservation efforts, putting the future of this feline at risk."

Endangered Sumatran baby rhino born | AJ #shorts

Iranian wildlife association is celebrating the birth of the endangered Persian wild ass in captivity.

The Iranian nature preservation association published the picture the mother seen with the baby for the first time yesterday. The report says that the group of Onagers loving in the protected national part of Kavir (desert) close to the city of Garmsar in Iran.

The Onagers are a unique species related to the African Zebra despite their look and lack of stripes like their African cousins.

It is a happiest news I have heard from Iran in a long time.

The Persian onager (Equus hemionus onager), also called the Persian wild ass or Persian zebra, is a subspecies] of onager (Asiatic wild ass) native to Iran (Persia). It is listed as Endangered, with no more than 600 individuals left in the wild and only 30 individuals living within North American institutions.

Endangered red wolf pups are born in the wild for the first time in years | The Optimist Daily

The Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge happily welcomed the birth of six wild red wolf pups, a sign of hope for the endangered species.

Rachel Carson: “Man is part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself. We’re challenged as mankind has never been challenged before to prove our mastery over ourselves.”

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.

Also explore some incredible animals of India and World from today's photolist which become endangered due to our karmas😔
