October is officially the first-ever
#LostSpecies month 👀
We have partnered with
@Reverse.The.Red (an initiative led by
@iucnssc, the global authority on the status of species) to highlight the importance of searching for the 2,000+ species that are lost to science.
🗺 The Search for Lost Species is the largest global search to find plants, animals, and fungi that have not been seen in at least 10 years. Since 2017, Re:wild and partners have found 9 of the world’s 25 most wanted lost species and dozens more outside this list.
Throughout the month we will share stories from expeditions and the challenges of finding species that are lost. The search is on—so keep your 👀 peeled!
