Caribbean conservationists preserving hope and species
How Antigua and Barbuda successfully saved the world’s rarest snake and continue to protect vulnerable island ecosystems
We all could use a little more hope–but nurturing hope and optimism is hard work. The Environmental Awareness Group (EAG), a small local non-governmental organization based in the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda, nurtures hope with the same meticulous methodology as they do any of their conservation projects: with discipline.
“What I will say is that it's not easy. I feel an enormous weight on my shoulders. But we keep this discipline of hope,” says Shanna Challenger the offshore island conservation program coordinator for the EAG. “We are doing what we can in the areas that we work in. Despite all the challenges going on, we're going to keep our heads down and keep doing this work. We have to keep these offshore islands and the species that live there safe."
Caribbean island ecosystems are unique and fragile. Since European colonization, the Caribbean has suffered some of the highest rates of extinction globally. These nearly 10,000 islands are considered some of the world’s most biologically diverse. And some of the most threatened. But the Antiguan Racer, a small snake, has given conservationists from Antigua and Barbuda hope that these ecosystems can recover, thrive and preserve the wild.

Declared Nature Park "Tara"
Nature Park "Tara", located in the territory of the Municipality of Foča, was declared a protected area at today's 178th session of the Government of the Republika Srpska held in Banja Luka. It is located in the border zone with Montenegro and includes the gorge-canyon valley of the Tara River, including the plateau above its right bank and the slopes of the Ljubišnja mountain. This declaration significantly expanded the network of protected areas in this part of the Dinarides, considering that on the opposite, left bank of Tara in Montenegro there are two protected areas - National Park "Durmitor" and Nature Park "Piva", while in the western extension, on the territory Republika Srpska is covered by the Sutjeska National Park.

Derbyshire: First baby beavers born in county in 800 years
Two baby beavers have been born in Derbyshire for the first time in 800 years, a wildlife trust has said.
Two male and two female beavers were taken from Scotland to Willington Wetlands following their lengthy absence from the county.
Henry Richards, of the trust, said one of the pairs had now bred successfully.
The dam-building rodents have been released in parts of England and Wales in the hope they can restore wetland habitats and boost other species.

Parts of Australia's Great Barrier Reef show highest coral cover in 36 years
Two-thirds of Australia's Great Barrier Reef showed the largest amount of coral cover in 36 years, but the reef remains vulnerable to increasingly frequent mass bleaching, an official long-term monitoring programme reported on Thursday.
The recovery in the central and northern stretches of the UNESCO world heritage-listed reef contrasted with the southern region, where there was a loss of coral cover due to crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks, the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences (AIMS) said in its annual report.

New Canada Refuge Protects Deep-Water Corals
Designation furthers country’s long-term commitment to protecting 30% of its ocean habitat by 2030
On World Oceans Day, June 8, the Government of Canada announced the establishment of the Eastern Canyons Marine Refuge, an area of 43,976 square kilometres (about 17,000 square miles) off the coast of Nova Scotia. This region, which stretches out to Canada’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), includes both deep-sea canyons and abyssal plain, and will now be protected from bottom-contact fishing—including trawling, traps, and longlines—under Canada’s Fisheries Act. The act safeguards the nation’s fish and fish habitats and is an example of how tools other than marine protected areas (MPAs) can be used to conserve marine habitat.
Dr. Susanna Fuller, vice president for operations and projects for Oceans North, a Canadian nonprofit that focuses on marine conservation in the Arctic and Atlantic Canada, served on the technical advisory committee that helped develop the final plan for the refuge. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Once the fish factories and ‘kidneys’ of colder seas, Australia’s decimated shellfish reefs are coming back
Australia once had vast oyster and mussel reefs, which anchored marine ecosystems and provided a key food source for coastal First Nations people. But after colonisation, Europeans harvested them for their meat and shells and pushed oyster and mussel reefs almost to extinction. Because the damage was done early – and largely underwater – the destruction of these reefs was all but forgotten.
No longer. We have learned how to restore these vital reef systems. After a successful pilot in 2015, there are now 46 shellfish reef restorations underway – Australia’s largest marine restoration program ever undertaken. It’s not a moment too soon. There’s just one natural reef remaining for the Australian flat oyster, which is teetering on extinction.
How did shellfish reefs go from forgotten to frontline? Our new research shows how this historical amnesia was overcome through a national community of researchers, conservationists, and government and fisheries managers.
This matters, because oysters and mussels are
ecological superheroes.
As we restore these reefs, we give local marine life a real boost and support human livelihoods reliant on healthy seas. These cold-water reefs play a similar role to coral in tropical seas. They give hiding places and food to baby fish, filter seawater and defend coastlines against erosion from waves.

Wild tiger numbers 40% higher than thought, says conservation group
Improved monitoring has shown nearly 6,000 tigers, says International Union for Conservation of Nature, with population ‘stable or increasing’
There are 40% more tigers in the wild than previously thought, with as many as 5,578 around, though they remain an endangered species, according to a leading conservationist group.
The jump in numbers was due to improved monitoring, with the population thought to be stable or increasing, said the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Habitat protection projects showed that “recovery is possible”.
There are thought to be between 3,726 and 5,578 wild tigers – 40% more than at the last assessment in 2015.
While the tiger remained endangered, the population trend indicated that projects such as the IUCN’s integrated tiger habitat conservation programme “are succeeding and recovery is possible as long as conservation efforts continue”, the organisation said.

Indigenous Shuar community in Ecuador wins decades-long battle to protect land
Ecuador’s National System of Protected Areas now includes the 5,497-hectare (13,583-acre) ancestral Tiwi Nunka Forest, which the Shuar Indigenous community of El Kiim lives in and relies on for sustenance and many cultural practices.
The decision means that the land should be safe from future exploitation, including mining, cattle ranching and agricultural encroachment — activities that have worried the community’s 35 Shuar families for decades. It also means that the community is free to sustainably manage the local natural resources as it sees fit.
The area is not only home to many of the community’s ancestral traditions, such as collecting and making medicines and performing ritualistic waterfall baths, but also important biodiversity like the mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque) and spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus). The forest is also a source of clean water for the community.
“We’re protecting the forest because these are the last trees we have for wood and medicine,” said Washington Tiwi, a resident of El Kiim and former head of the community. “Some species, such as bears, howler monkeys and tapirs, are protected from disappearing. Our children and future generations can see them and know that these species exist and are protected.”

- Ecuador’s National System of Protected Areas now includes the 5,497-hectare (13,583-acre) ancestral Tiwi Nunka Forest in the country’s south.
- The Shuar Indigenous community of El Kiim, with the help of the NGO Nature and Culture International, has been fighting for decades to protect the land from cattle ranchers, loggers and miners.
- National protections mean the land is safe from exploitation by mining companies, which sometimes find ways to bypass less stringent conservation protections.

Elephants on the move: 263 elephants translocated in Malawi
Conservationists have successfully translocated more than 260 elephants to Kasungu National Park in Malawi.
Malawi’s Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW), the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and African Parks (AP) announced the mission completed on schedule this weekend with 263 elephants moved to Kasungu National Park.
The translocation is part of a national conservation initiative to maintain healthy habitats in Malawi’s national parks, establish viable elephant populations, and ensure the prosperity of local communities living around the parks.
The elephants have moved to Kasungu NP where IFAW has worked to end poaching since 2015. Since then the park’s elephant population has grown from 50 individuals to about 120—it’s anticipated that the addition of 263 elephants from Liwonde NP to Kasungu NP will ensure the long-term conservation of elephants in Kasungu.
A wide variety of additional wildlife were also successfully translocated to Kasungu NP from Liwonde NP including 80 buffalo, 128 impala, 33 sable, 81 warthog and 109 waterbuck.

Racha National Park, more projects to increase Georgian protected areas by 100,000 hectares
The newly unveiled Racha National Park in Georgia’s west and other initiatives for creating new protected territories will increase the total area of protected natural locations of Georgia by 100,000 hectares this year, Environment Minister Otar Shamugia has revealed.
Shamugia called the move for the Park, unveiled at Monday’s Government meeting, a “new opportunity” for the region that would contribute to widening the total area of protected habitats - currently at around 800,000 hectares.
In the Racha National Park initiative, up to 50,894 hectares of land in western Georgia's Racha region have been designated to safeguard biodiversity and ecosystems of local forests, promote tourism in the area and create new jobs.
It will be located in the Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti regions and involve the construction of an administrative center in the locality.
"This is a new opportunity for the region, first of all for us to protect our unique nature that we have in this region and biodiversity, to take care of it. At the same time, it is an opportunity for the region to develop relevant ecotourism services, employ local people, earn income and develop businesses", the Environment Minister said on Monday.

Wolf pups spotted in northern Netherlands for first time
A wildlife camera in the north of the country captured images of three wolf pups. Their parents are likely a wolf pair that has been living in the woods on the border of southwest Drenthe and southeast Friesland since 2021. According to the wolf association Wolven in Nederland, this is the first time there is a wolf pack outside the Veluwe.
The she-wolf of the pair has a territory on the border of Drenthe and Friesland and comes from Lower Saxony in Germany. The origin of the male is unknown, said BIJ12, the agency that manages wolf issues for the provinces, among other things.
