ON WORLD REWILDING DAY we honor a movement that has expanded to hundreds of organizations around the globe. And we celebrate the latest creature to be set free, back into the wild where she belongs: Kerana, the first female jaguar in Argentina's Gran Chaco in 35 years. To learn more, watch and read this op-ed in TIME by Kris Tompkins, our co-founder and president. #WorldRewildingDay #HopeIntoAction Rewilding Argentina Fundación Rewilding Chile https://lnkd.in/evPx9MyS

1st WILD JAGUAR TRANSLOCATION HAPPENS IN ARGENTINA I Miní, a wild jaguar born in the Ibera wetlands, thanks to releases from our offspring organization Rewilding Argentina, has traveled to El Impenetrable National Park, where she will be released in several months to provide a critical boost to the population of this top predator. Just one year ago, there were no female jaguars in the park. With two females released earlier this year and two more on their way, there's real hope that this species will return. None of this would be possible without the incredible teamwork behind the scenes--from wildlife trackers to veterinarians, and the support of local governments in Chaco and Corrientes and their communities. Stay tuned for more footage and stories with her coming release! This photo shows the rewilding team taking Miní's vital signs before travel.

REWILDING BEYOND BORDERS: We’re proud to share Kristine Tompkins' talk from the TED2024 mainstage in Vancouver. After three decades, Kristine Tompkins sees no slowing down. In fact, Tompkins Conservation is heading into a whole new chapter, together with our offspring orgs Rewilding Argentina and Fundación Rewilding Chile. It's an ambitious continental vision to reconnect the wild fabric of South America by rewilding beyond park boundaries and national borders. Making the case for a revolutionary vision for rewilding, Tompkins asserts, “The speed and power of climate chaos and the extinction crisis demand that we change our tactics, our commitments and our thinking yet again. And this time, at a massive scale.” Watch the full talk here: https://lnkd.in/ePdEMf6G #TED2024 #rewilding #conservation #inspiration #IdeasChangeEverything

Jane knows. 💚 VOTE 💚
Founder and CEO of Mongabay, a nonprofit conservation and environmental science news platform
Jane Goodall: "Vote as our children's lives depend on it" At last night’s Climate One event, nearly 1,700 attendees, including more than 600 students and educators, gathered to hear Jane Goodall deliver a heartfelt plea for the future of our planet. In a conversation moderated by Greg Dalton, Goodall’s words pierced through the often numbing barrage of crises that dominate our daily news. "Please vote," she urged. "Choose leaders committed to protecting our natural world." It was a poignant reminder of the stakes we face in 2024, a year marred by relentless climate disasters and tragic losses. The sense of urgency was palpable, matched by the gravity of her message: the next generation depends on us to act decisively, and it starts with the simple, powerful act of voting. In an age where crises feel relentless and solutions seem distant, Jane delivered a message of hope—one grounded in informed optimism, inspired by the real actions that individuals, often of limited means and facing difficult circumstances, are taking in communities around the world. The least we can do in democracies, she reminded us, is vote for candidates who understand that the planet’s future can no longer be delayed. Her “Vote for Nature” campaign comes at a pivotal moment. For the first time in her decades-long career, Goodall is explicitly calling for political action to safeguard our shared home. It marks a bold shift for a figure who has traditionally shied away from electoral politics. But as she made clear, the stakes could not be higher: "Vote as our children's lives depend on it, because honestly, they do." In a world where environmental stewardship is too often sidelined by economic concerns and short-term political gains, Goodall’s call feels both urgent and necessary. She reminded us that while our attention is pulled in many directions, the health of our planet underpins everything we hold dear. For Jane, the path forward is clear: it’s time to choose leaders who will prioritize nature, because, in her words, "when nature thrives, we thrive too."

Thrilling progress from our offspring org Rewilding Argentina! ❤️❤️❤️
A huge step forward to save the Jaguar in El Impenetrable, Argentina 💚 Nalá, a female Jaguar born at the Jaguar Reintroduction Centre in El Impenetrable National Park, now lives free in the wild! She and her brother, Takajay, were the first cubs to be born in the centre on January 30, 2021. Nalá is already three and a half years old, and today the doors of her pen opened for her to begin her life in freedom. Nalá joins Keraná who was the first female to join the wild populations of the Argentine Chaco after more than 35 years! Before the release of these two rewilded females, the region hosted an entirely male population; in other words, Nalá and Keraná have restored #rewildinghope to the area, and the teams that work hard to bring back this iconic species. Their presence is crucial to restore South America's top predator and keystone species in this unique ecosystem. Transforming #hopeintoaction, the team at Rewilding Argentina, along with their collaborating local partners, Argentina's National Parks and the Chaco government, are moving toward a future where this great feline can thrive again. #conservation #jaguar #rewilding #impenetrable #jaguar #NationalParks

A FIRST FOR ARGENTINA! 💚 Did you know that Giant Anteaters always give birth to one offspring? It makes sense, as the mama spends many months hauling her offspring on her back through the tall grasses of the wetlands. Tompkins Conservation and Rewilding Argentina piloted the reintroduction of this species in Iberá in 2007. In fact, it was the first species that we reintroduced, and taught us a lot so that we could work on larger and more challenging species. Today, this million-acre protected wetlands has a stable population growing on its own. Every season Rewilding Argentina records new births using clues from camera traps, but this year they had a big surprise: twins! In Argentina this is the first ever record of twin giant anteater pups, added to one recorded occurrence of twin pups in Brazil. #rewilding #rewildinghope #giantanteater

UPDATES FROM THE FIELD: CHILEAN PATAGONIA Through collective action, Fundación Rewilding Chile is making great progress in large-scale ecosystem restoration and connectivity, work that is absolutely crucial if we want to counteract biodiversity loss and climate change. Check out the amazing efforts of our offspring organization in their recently released Annual Report 2023: https://lnkd.in/dBQAChgp And we share a special thanks to all who have supported, collaborated and explored with us on our mission to protect Chilean Patagonia's wild beauty! We still have a long road ahead, so come rewild with us! #tompkinsconservation #Rewildinghope #Conservation

For WORLD OCEAN DAY we’re celebrating the exciting discovery by Fundación Rewilding Chile, offspring of Tompkins Conservation, of rare red hydrocorals (Errina antarctica) in the Patagonian sea at new latitudes and depths. The incredible findings, made in concert with the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, were published in Scientific Report, part of renowned journal Nature, and shed new light on Patagonia’s largely unexplored and little-understood marine ecosystems. A healthy ocean is critical to solving the climate and biodiversity crises. The discovery of these spectacular corals and the diversity of life that they harbor highlights the importance of creating marine protected areas around the world, especially in vulnerable hotspots of biodiversity, and in continuing the exploration of the Patagonia sea and other little-explored ocean regions. Who knows what other unknown wonders thrive beneath the waves? @nature_the_journal @unep @unclimatechange #OceanClimateAction #Rewilding #MarineProtection #30x30 #worldoceanday

We are bearing witness to the return of the giant river otter to Argentina in real time, and it's pure joy. On World Otter Day, join us in celebrating the largest otter species in the world! Kinetic, gregarious and inquisitive, this is one species that delights wildlife watchers. We're also celebrating the birth of a second litter of otter pups the rewilding program in Iberá Park, thanks to the work of our offspring Rewilding Argentina. Little by little, a wilder world is taking shape. #WorldOtterDay #otters #wildlife #rewilding #conservation Global Rewilding Alliance
