✨ Hope for the future of Vietnam's Silver-backed Chevrotain! 🇻🇳

Since the rediscovery of this species in 2019, researcher Quy Tấn Lê has taken a leading role in conservation efforts to ensure it is never lost again. 🎥 Watch the full feature here: https://youtu.be/DbN5BE-_j4o?si=3Ma6S6jOER2T481m

The world's first Silver-backed Chevrotain Conservation Breeding Program is working to restore this species on the brink. The goal is to establish a sustainable population of Silver-backed Chevrotains to help restore and safeguard this species after it was nearly wiped out by habitat destruction and illegal hunting with traps.

🟢 This collaborative initiative is led by the Southern Institute of Ecology, Institute of Advanced Technology, Nui Chua-Phuoc Binh National Park, and Re:wild—with funding from the Federal Working Group for Small Mammals, Berufsverband der Zootierpfleger, Wrocław Zoo, and the Zoological Society for Species and Population Conservation.

🔍 Samoan White-eye FOUND in the highlands of Savai’i!

The Samoan White-eye was once frequently documented in the highlands of Savai’i, Samoa’s largest island. But after reports of 20 or more individuals slowly gave way to only occasional reports of one or two birds, the species was added to the Search for Lost Birds list. The last official documentation of this bird was a sound recording in 2015.
In August 2026, experienced birder Anton Liebermann, with help from local guides, located and photographed a Samoan White-eye in the highlands of Savai’i. The discovery confirms that this elusive bird is still hanging on, and gives conservationists a reason to keep looking for more. Across the Pacific, many island endemic birds face serious threats from habitat loss and introduced species, making it especially important to learn more about this unique Samoan endemic.

🚨 Urgent help needed: your donation will help Re:wild partners IUCN Section on Great Apes and IUCN Section on Small Apes directly support organizations working on the ground in Borneo to fight the fires alongside local communities while protecting wild orangutans and gibbons. 🦧 https://www.rewild.org/urgent-appeals/borneo-fire-relief

🔥 Over 5 million people have been exposed to wildfire smoke. Bornean Orangutans have been seen fleeing burning forests as their habitat disappears. Bornean White-bearded Gibbons, which spend almost all of their lives in trees, have few options for escape as fires consume the forests around them. As of September, more than 2 million acres (800,000 hectares) of forest have burned across the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. That's an area 10 times the size of New York City! 🤯

The government of Indonesia, firefighters, local communities, conservation organizations, wildlife rescuers, and researchers are all responding to the fires. Re:wild partners IUCN Section on Great Apes and IUCN Section on Small Apes work closely with frontline organizations to act now! All support is directed to firefighting efforts to protect critical forests and wildlife. 🔴

🦍 BREAKING NEWS: First-time mother, Lulingu, has given birth!
Orphaned by the illegal wildlife trade at 18 months old, Lulingu was rescued in 2016 and raised by GRACE Gorillas. Today, she is caring for a baby of her own after returning to the wild where she bred with a silverback, bringing hope for all Eastern Lowland Gorillas in the DRC.

Full press release: https://www.rewild.org/press/eastern-lowland-gorilla-gives-birth-virunga

Lulingu is one of four female gorillas moved at the end of 2024 from the GRACE sanctuary to Virunga National Park -- the first group of Eastern Lowland Gorillas ever to be successfully released to the wild. This rewilding process was led by GRACE, Virunga National Park, and local communities, with support from Gorilla Doctors and Re:wild.

This special birth is significant for Lulingu's troop after their historic return to the wild. Additionally, this milestone is a tremendous source of pride for local communities whose efforts helped lead to the success of this project and who are invested in safeguarding these Critically Endangered great apes.
