A chance photo uploaded to a citizen science app has rediscovered a plant species missing since 1967. The find shows how everyday people with smartphones are revolutionizing conservation science.
Animals once thought lost forever are making remarkable comebacks in Iran, proving that conservation efforts can reverse extinction. Persian zebras and yellow deer are thriving again thanks to scientific breeding programs and local community support.
A groundbreaking discovery in South Dakota proves that original dinosaur proteins can survive for tens of millions of years, opening an exciting new window into studying extinct species. The finding could revolutionize how scientists understand dinosaur biology and evolution.
At a hidden 3,200-acre campus in Front Royal, Virginia, scientists are literally reversing extinction. Species once vanished from Earth are now thriving and returning to the wild.
Scientists discovered a second koala species that lived in Western Australia until 30,000 years ago, revealing Australia's richer wildlife past. The find came from century-old cave fossils that finally included enough skull material to identify the unique species.
Scientists discovered that koala fossils in Western Australia aren't just ancient relatives—they're an entirely different species that lived until 28,000 years ago. The extinct koala had mysterious face grooves and a slimmer build than today's cuddly icons.
Scientists confirmed that a second koala species once lived exclusively in Western Australia, disappearing around 30,000 years ago when the climate dried. The discovery rewrites what we know about one of Australia's most beloved animals.
A species declared extinct for thousands of years is thriving in Indonesian Papua, and local elders knew about it all along. Their knowledge just helped scientists confirm what the Tambrauw people never forgot.
A tiny Australian marsupial declared extinct in 1991 is making a comeback thanks to groundbreaking genetic rescue science. Conservationists just released 100 specially bred eastern barred bandicoots into the wild with stronger genes and better survival odds than ever before.
A rare Korean wolf who captured hearts worldwide after escaping a South Korean zoo has been safely returned after nine days of freedom. The 2-year-old, part of a critical breeding program for an extinct species, even had a fishhook removed from his stomach but is doing well.
Two conservationists are racing across Wales with cotton bags, collecting seeds from rare plants before they disappear forever. Their freezer-stored "genetic library" has already brought extinct species back to life.
