We are excited to announce a monumental milestone in collaboration with Dr. Paul Ling and the Houston Zoo. The first mRNA vaccine for EEHV has been successfully administered to an elephant under human care. 🐘💉 This groundbreaking achievement marks a significant step forward in preventing EEHV-related deaths and showcases the power of scientific innovation in conservation. Together, we’re protecting the future of these magnificent creatures. 🌍🧬 #conservation #bioscience #innovation #savethelephants

The importance of the work for saving Vaquitas cannot be understated. With so few left, we are proud to be supporting this conservation effort with Re:wild
The world’s rarest marine mammal is closer to extinction than ever before. This year’s Vaquita survey has been released - scientists spotted between 6-8 individuals, the lowest number ever reported. Collaboration between local communities and conservationists must be scaled up to ensure fishing practices can sustain locals without harming Vaquitas. Re:wild is committed to helping protect this species on the brink by aiming for a full Vaquita recovery, supporting Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and Vaquita-safe fishing gear and markets with Cetáceos, Acción y Transformación, Pesca ABC and Pronatura Noroeste. Positive steps ahead to save the Vaquita include: using improved acoustic detection devices, measuring Vaquita environmental DNA (eDNA) in the water column to detect and locate other individuals, expanding habitat protection, and training local youth to help monitor the last remaining Vaquitas.

Thank you to our partners at Save the Elephants for continuing to study and save these incredible, intellectual species 🐘
New study alert: African elephants have been found to use individual calls akin to names, much like humans! Researchers from Save the Elephants, Colorado State University, and ElephantVoices recorded elephant vocalisations in Kenya, revealing unique "vocal labels" for addressing each other. Published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, the study sheds light on animal cognition and language evolution. Elephants, like humans, form strong bonds and seem to have independently developed this sophisticated communication method. Analysis of calls from Samburu National Reserve and Amboseli National Park identified 469 distinct calls, with 101 callers and 117 receivers. Using machine learning, researchers identified distinctive "vocal labels" resembling names. Elephants responded energetically to calls meant for them, demonstrating their ability to recognise and react to individual names.
