When thinking about extinction, the first animal that often comes to mind is the Dodo (Raphus cucullatus). The Dodo, which was native to Mauritius, went extinct in less than a century after humans first arrived on the island. Now, the Dodo is viewed as a lost species that is an emblem of loss, responsibility and […]
Wildlife conservation is typically associated with living species, but sometimes the best insights come from animals we’ve already lost. A great example of this is the Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus), one of the most extraordinary Ice Age mammals that no longer exists. The Irish Elk is more than just a glimpse into the past; it’s […]
Animal extinction awareness should do more than teach us what animals we have lost in the past; it should also warn us not to let the same thing keep happening in the future. One of the most incredible examples of an extinct animal is the Saber-toothed Cat (Smilodon), a once-feared top predator that walked on […]
Wildlife conservation and extinction are one of the most important conversations today and studying history can often highlight how much we value something only when it is gone.

Help save wildlife – it’s not just a saying; it is a call to action that history has inscribed with sorrowful ink. There are countless tragedies in the story of our planet, but that of the Great Auk (Pinguinus impennis) is a stark reminder of the consequences when human greed and negligence outweigh nature.

Humanity is awakening to the need to help save wildlife and no creature fits as much as the Amur Leopard to represent this crisis. Found only in Russia and China in the far east, this shadowy big cat is one of the rarest creatures. With fewer than a hundred known in the wild, it poses […]

The Thylacine once ranged throughout Tasmania, mainland Australia […]
