Springbok and other animals occasionally produce white individuals. Although these animals are sometimes true albinos, for the most part they have a condition of paleness that results from a recessive gene. South Africa’s indigenous /Xam people entertained superstitions surrounding the white springbok they encountered periodically, which were in sharp contrast to those of the colonizing European settlers.

Across China, nearly 20,000 “secretive” wildlife farms—raising peacocks, civet cats, porcupines, ostriches, wild geese and boar—have been shut down in the wake of COVID-19 and the country’s (temporary) ban of the wildlife trade. The National People’s Congress is now working on a deep regulatory overhaul of the Wildlife Protection Law.

Conservation organizations, including Conservation Frontlines, and wildlife scientists from around the world have sent an open letter to the World Health Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme pointing out that blanket, indiscriminate bans on wildlife trade and wild meat consumption (in response to the pandemic) are dangerous, ineffective and counterproductive. Instead, the letter strongly urges WHO and UNEP to take actions that are “specific, appropriate, and equitable.” Read the letter here 👉🏼https://bit.ly/360BNkX ... See MoreSee Less

When cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar was shot dead, in 1993, four hippos he’d imported were left behind in a pond on his ranch. Since then, their numbers have grown to an estimated 80-100 and the animals have expanded into the country’s rivers. A new study challenges the view that these are invasive pests that should not run wild, pointing out that the hippos restore the ecological traits of native species that were exterminated thousands of years ago 👉🏼https://bit.ly/2Wb5YCx #ConservationFirst #Wildlife #Hippopotamus ...
