More than one million animal species are in danger of disappearing forever, many of them fading away quietly without most of us noticing. One of them is the South Eastern Striped Bandicoot. Small, shy, and active at night, this cute little marsupial plays an important role in its ecosystem and is now struggling to survive as its habitat disappears. Today's post is about the Bandicoot's story- why animals like the bandicoot matter, what is putting them at risk, and how small, everyday actions can still help protect endangered species before they are gone.

The Moa and the Dodo: One Bird’s Comeback — and Another’s Warning
There’s something both inspiring and unsettling happening in the world of science right now.
A team of researchers and geneticists, backed by Peter Jackson (yeah, the guy behind Lord of the Rings), is working to bring back the giant moa — a massive, flightless bird that roamed New Zealand until humans wiped it out about 600 years ago. This thing stood over 12 feet tall and weighed nearly 500 pounds. Picture a walking dinosaur that ate ferns and towered over you like a basketball hoop on stilts.

Echoes of the Pyrenean Ibex: A Legacy of Loss and Hope
Today is the anniversary of the death of the last Pyrenean Ibex. I have written more than one post on the Pyrenean Ibex, because I really find its story fascinating. When you view its beauty, sense its rugged persona and energy, then realize it fell victim to extinction due to...
Can We Bring the Dodo Back?
De-extinction fascinates me. I (probably like you) love reading updates from organizations like Colossal- a key de-extinction organization, wondering when I will see a little dodo head pop into frame- a relic reimagined over 300 years after the last known bird graced windswept Mauritius. Re-inventing the Dodo Can you imagine...
