🐰⚠️ Bunny alert! While you hunt for Easter #eggs, some online “cute” pets are part of illegal wildlife trade. Exotic rabbits, small mammals, even eggs from wild birds are sold daily. Protect wildlife, not just chocolate. #Easter #WildlifeProtection #OnlineTrade #OURANOS

Today, we would like to highlight one of the most extraordinary mammalian orders ever described: Rhinogradentia, mammals that used their noses to walk. A reminder that science also has its curiosities… and its sense of humor. youtu.be/Y8mW20ZLenE #AprilFoolsDay 🐟

🌳 The loss of #forests threatens the survival of many species & reduces their ability to provide essential services. Forest landscape restoration can reverse these losses. #GenerationRestoration

Congratulations to the Madhya Pradesh State Tiger Strike Force, working in collaboration with the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, on the arrest of a suspected kingpin linked to a reptile trafficking network in Uttar Pradesh. The operation led to the seizure of 313 turtles and 2 parakeets 🐢🐦, and represents a significant disruption to a major trafficking network. 💡 Wildlife trafficking at this scale is structured and sustained, requiring targeted action that goes beyond individual seizures to address the networks behind it.

🍀 St. Patrick’s Day reminds us how symbols and cultural traditions shape human behaviour. In some cases, animals themselves become symbols — which can increase their demand in pet markets or wildlife trade. #SaintPatricksDay

🍬 White Day reflects how cultural traditions linked to gifts and celebrations can influence markets. In some regions, celebrations and social media trends also drive the demand for exotic pets. #whiteday #Whitedayアー写 #WhiteDay2026 #ホワイトデー

🎲 Friday the 13th highlights how superstition affects how we see animals. Species associated with mystery or magic — such as bats, snakes or nocturnal primates — have long been surrounded by myths and folklore. #fridaythe13th #friday13 #vendredi13

🍀🎲🍬 This "week" brings together St. Patrick’s Day, Friday the 13th, and White Day. But across the world, beliefs and celebrations can sometimes influence wildlife trade — including online. #StPatricksDay #FridayThe13th #WhiteDay instagram.com/p/DVvqBTgjfvU/…
