2024 marks the year for the 19th Annual Endangered Species Day. Only part way into 2024, there are already new and rare species discovered — or rediscovered. From the Coapilla arboreal alligator lizard to a new jaguar, check out the details so far this year:  https://www.greenmatters.com/news/new-species-2024

And, saying good-bye is always hard particularly to defenseless beings that deserve a world to thrive. In 2023, U.S. scientists declared 21 species officially extinct. Find out what species were lost in 2023:  https://mashable.com/article/extinct-species-animals-2023

This is what it looks like when we get it right.

Lord Howe Island is an ecological wonderland - home to a myriad of rare winged and finned creatures, the most southern true coral reef and the tallest sea stack on the planet. All this is made possible thanks to the sanctuaries protecting Lor Howe's ocean. The island also has a vibrant community caring for these marine ecosystems.

Open-net salmon farming could contribute to wild salmon extinction, is polluting Iceland's pristine coasts and is responsible for the mistreatment of farmed animals. Join us as we link arms with local communities and NGO's in calling for a ban on this harmful practice.

Open net salmon farmis is an industrial farming method that uses submerged cages to grow up to 200,000 fish at a time. It floods the surrounding environment with toxins, parasites, and biological waste.

Sign the petition and add your voice to the movement. Open-net salm farms have no place in our wild waters. https://www.patagonia.com/stories/laxathjod-a-salmon-nation/video-147771.html
