Zoológico de São Paulo released three juvenile Lear’s Macaws to the wild as part of its ongoing conservation efforts. This success is a result of a long-term partnership with institutions dedicated to preserving Brazilian biodiversity. In 2015, São Paulo Zoo became the first zoo in the region to successfully breed Lear’s Macaws. The zoo has been working towards strengthening wild populations of these macaws by reintroducing captive-bred individuals into their natural habitat. In addition to this successful reintroduction, São Paulo Zoo has also announced the construction of a new centre for the breeding of endangered wild birds. This new facility will further enhance the zoo's capacity to support conservation efforts.

Two Emperor marmosets were recently born at Loro Parque. These newborns represent an important addition to the marmoset group, strengthening the population and supporting ongoing conservation efforts. The mother and her young are carefully shielded from disturbances by other members of the group. Both males and females contribute to the care of the infants, with males periodically transferring the young to females for feeding. As the newborns develop, they will begin to interact and explore their surroundings. The birth of these marmosets highlights the importance of creating environments that support the natural behaviours and wellbeing of species in managed care, a commitment demonstrated by the conservation efforts at Loro Parque.

Zoo Miami welcomed threatened Texas horned lizards for the first time! The zoo has established a satellite colony to produce these hatchlings in captivity. The first eggs were laid at Zoo Miami in late June, with the initial hatching occurring on August 9th, followed by seven more. To give them the best chance of survival, the hatchlings are being closely monitored and fed a diet of fruit flies and small insect larvae until they are stable enough for transport. Once ready, they will be released in carefully selected sites across Texas.
