The Przewalski's Horse, or Equus ferus przewalskii, is native to the steppes of Mongolia. It has been re-categorised as an Endangered species in 2011 thanks to the captive breeding programmes and reintroduction efforts. Before, around the 1960s it was driven to extinction in the wild due to habitat loss and overhunting, only surviving in captivity. Technically the species can still be considered extinct in the wild, since all populations are carefully managed in national parks and nature reserves, and all of the horses in the wild are descendants from captive breeding efforts that have been reintroduced in the wild. They continue to be closely monitored in order to maximise reproduction and minimize inbreeding.

Fun fact: Przewalski's Horses have 33 chromosomal pairs, whereas modern domestic horses have 32, indicating they became genetically separate long ago.

EXTINCT IN THE WILD. In NORTHERN WHITE RHINOS , wild populations are thought to have gone extinct, and only two females, a mother and daughter named NAJIN and FATU, residing in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, have been confirmed as still alive. (The last known remaining male northern white rhinocerous>SUDAN died in 2018.)… PHOTO CREDITS TO @amivitale #extinctionisforever🙁 #extinctinthewild #extinctionisreal #stopextinctions #saverhinosnow https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQMzzXgcra/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Scimitar-horned oryx has been revived in the Sahara after going extinct in the wild for over two decades. Captive zoo populations from all over the world allowed this reintroduction to be possible. 23 individuals were released in a remote area of Chad and due to their initial success another set will soon follow. In additional promising news, the first baby was even born recently and looks to be in good health.

Nice visit today from fine art photographer @dale.rio.photography shooting some of our endangered species for an upcoming project. Here we see the Franklin Tree, Franklinia alatamaha, in bloom (our quick & dirty smartphone photo - large format film photography takes a bit more time). This species was discovered in the late 1700s in Marshall County, GA, USA. It was brought into cultivation and the population was extirpated by 1803 and has not been seen in the wild since that time. Apparently extinct in the wild. #Frankliniaalatamaha #extinctinthewild #greenhouse #biodiversity #uconn — view on Instagram https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/e60729c5ceff0a37179779cea45751b2/5DF737AC/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/69706802_599668637235373_775590187464917787_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com

市議員王立任質疑農業局復育園區變保育殺手？

【記者林獻元台中報導】台中市議員王立任23日在議會質詢時指出，農業局在清水地區高美濕地旁設立大安水蓑衣的復育園區，復育台灣特有種的保育植物大安水蓑衣，卻發生搞錯品種的烏龍。

農業局長王俊雄指出，市府將以復育在地為原則，與專家學者討論合作，針對原先就存在高美濕地的「清水型水蓑衣」積極進行復育，並透過解說牌設置，作為全民環境教育園區。

王立任表示，大安水蓑衣為台灣特有種，全台灣野生族群少於500株，列入保育類的植物，大安水蓑衣又可依棲地、外觀、開花期、結果與否，又分為大安型與清水型兩個種類。

以大甲溪為界，溪北為大安型、而溪南則為清水型，依據農委會的資料顯示，若依世界自然保育聯盟(IUCN)物種生存委員會(SSC)於1994年所訂定之物種瀕危等級加以評估，應可列為極危級(CriticallyEndangered)，僅次於絕滅級(Extinct)及野外絕滅級(Extinctinthewild)…
