By focusing on iconic species and their ecosystems, WCS ensures that entire biodiversity networks thrive. These wild places are crucial strongholds against climate change and essential for a sustainable future.

✨ Did you know melting permafrost in their Arctic breeding grounds could dramatically alter their nesting habitat, further threatening the species..🐾✨

✨ Did you know unlike many shorebirds with harsh calls, spoon-billed sandpipers produce soft, melodic whistles, which they use for communication during breeding season..🐾✨

Migration is a vital part of nature, from the vast journeys of whales and birds to the epic river crossings of fish and the seasonal flights of butterflies.

Despite these threats, conservation efforts are making a difference. In 2009, the YUS Conservation Area was established to protect the rainforest in the northern Huon Peninsula. Named after the Yopno, Uruwa, and Som rivers, providing a crucial sanctuary for tree-kangaroos and other wildlife.

They face multiple threats that put their survival at risk. Deforestation due to logging, agriculture, and oil drilling is rapidly destroying their rainforest home. Hunting is another serious issue—local communities hunt them for meat and fur, further reducing their already small population.
