Manta rays remind us that our oceans are full of wonder.

These ocean giants are highly migratory, traveling vast distances across oceans in search of food, cleaning stations, and warmer waters. These journeys help connect marine ecosystems and play an important role in maintaining healthy oceans.

Protecting these ocean giants requires international cooperation, coordinated marine protections, and stronger enforcement across borders.

WildAid works with governments, local communities, and partners to strengthen marine enforcement in critical habitats like the Coral Triangle, an important home for manta rays. Together, we’re helping combat destructive threats like blast fishing, an illegal practice that uses homemade explosives capable of turning vibrant coral reefs into ecological dead zones in seconds.

For Gabonese artist, graphic designer, and illustrator Corail King, nature is not separate from identity — it is part of who we are.

Living and working in Gabon, Corail draws inspiration from the forests, wildlife, and rhythms of the natural world around him. He believes the connection between people and nature is inseparable, especially for communities whose cultures have always lived alongside the forest.

Through his art, Corail raises awareness about endangered species and the threats they face, while encouraging younger generations to reconnect with the environment and understand the challenges facing wildlife today.

For him, protecting nature should not feel forced or distant — it should be instinctive. “We are people of the forest,” he says. “You can’t talk about Gabonese culture without talking about nature.”

As biodiversity declines and ecosystems come under increasing pressure, Corail hopes his work encourages people to reflect on the role we all play in shaping the future of our environment — before the values, species, and landscapes that define us are lost.

Corail's story is part of our hashtag series. See more stories on the men and women defending nature in Africa here: https://wildaid.org/natures-champions/?utm_campaign=gen_2026&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=NC-corail-fb-052626

Have you heard of a shiver of sharks, a fever of rays, or a blessing of narwhals? 🤔

As different as these marine animals are, many share one important trait: they’re highly migratory, traveling vast distances across oceans in search of food, mates, and nesting grounds.

Migratory species play a vital role in healthy ecosystems. They transport nutrients, maintain food webs, and even help store carbon. But nearly half of the world’s migratory species are now in decline due to human-caused threats like overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change.

We’re working to keep our planet’s shivers, fevers, bales, and blessings together by strengthening protections for critical marine habitats and supporting coordination between countries — so marine wildlife is protected across borders and throughout their journeys.

is two weeks away! Help us protect migratory marine species and the ecosystems they depend on. Donate here: https://wildaid.org/?form=donate&utm_campaign=wod_2026&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=WOD-marine-animal-groups-fb-052226

Biodiversity is life. 🌿

Protecting it starts with us: what we buy, how we act, what we value.

From adopting low-carbon lifestyles to advocating for conservation, we each have a role to play to protect the 8.7 million species we share our planet with.

Happy ! Bees are some of our planet's most important pollinators. Here are five fun facts to celebrate them and all they do:

🐝 Some bees take naps inside flowers! These rests can last up to a few minutes to a full night.
🐝 Despite having a brain the size of a sesame seed, bees can recognize human faces using patterns and visual memory.
🐝 Honeybees aren’t native to North America. They were introduced by European settlers in the 1600s.
🐝 Bees are among the world’s most important pollinators, helping reproduce thousands of species of flowering plants and many crops humans rely on.
🐝 One in four wild bee species in the U.S. is at risk of extinction primarily due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change.

You can help these vital pollinators by planting native flowers and pollinator-friendly plants, avoiding pesticides, and incorporating climate actions like taking public transportation and reducing your consumption of animal products.

Animals remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the planet every year. Through their natural behaviors, they can boost an ecosystem’s carbon storage capacity by up to 250%.

Climate change and biodiversity loss aren’t separate issues. A healthy planet starts with thriving wildlife.

P.S. Our actions can fight climate change, too. Simple choices like planting native plants, washing laundry in cold water, eating more plant-based foods, and taking shorter showers can reduce your individual carbon footprint by hundreds of pounds each year. Every ounce of carbon saved matters.
