There’s a new face in the Himalayan Highlands! A female snow leopard cub was born this summer to mother Dariga and father Moutig. The female cub is doing well and has now reached the age she can venture with her mother into the Himalayan Highlands exhibit. (1/6)

Camera Trap Picture of the Week
Spotted Hyenas
Today’s story isn’t just the picture, but how it survived.
The camera trap device was destroyed, but rangers found it during patrol and brought it back to camp.
And they were worth finding.

My great-grandfather was a fur trapper on the Bronx River in the 1920s. Mostly muskrat, but maybe also one of the last otters?. So I’m delighted to hear from @WCS that otters have returned to the river for the first time in a century. newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releas…

There’s hope for our world’s corals, if policy can catch up with science.
I teamed up with @TheWCS’ Stacy Jupiter to talk about how climate-resilient reefs respond to climate pressures and what the 50 Reefs+ data means for global conservation efforts.

I’m happy to share my 1st science review for Foreign Policy magazine—about new biography of George Schaller, the father of conservation biology.
He was the original foreign correspondent of animal kingdoms: observing up-close the lives of varied species.

🌎🐦Las aves no conocen fronteras. Viajan miles de kilómetros conectando ecosistemas, países y personas.
Millones de ellas dependen de los #CincoGrandesBosques para sobrevivir.
La #SelvaMaya es parte clave de esta red: un refugio que sostiene ese viaje.
Proteger estos bosques es proteger una conexión que atraviesa todo el continente.

🌎🐦Guatemala se suma al #GlobalBigDay 2026.
La Selva Maya es un territorio clave para las aves migratorias que conectan Mesoamérica con Norteamérica.
Cuando los bosques se recuperan, con comunidades al centro y el respaldo del gobierno, las aves regresan.
Proteger estos bosques es proteger una conexión global.
