"In one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, a remarkable thing has happened—the scimitar-horned oryx, once declared extinct in the wild, is now classified only as endangered.

It’s the first time the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world’s largest conservation organization, has ever moved a species on its Red List from ‘Extinct in the Wild’ to ‘Endangered.’

The recovery was down to the conservation work of zoos around the world, but also from game breeders in the Texas hill country, who kept the oryx alive while the governments of Abu Dhabi and Chad worked together on a reintroduction program.

Chad... ranks second-lowest on the UN Development Index. Nevertheless, it is within this North African country that can be found the Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi Achim Faunal Reserve, a piece of protected desert and savannah the size of Scotland—around 30,000 square miles, or 10 times the size of Yellowstone.

At a workshop in Chad’s capital of N’Djamena, in 2012, Environment Abu Dhabi, the government of Chad, the Sahara Conservation Fund, and the Zoological Society of London, all secured the support of local landowners and nomadic herders for the reintroduction of the scimitar-horned oryx to the reserve.

Environment Abu Dhabi started the project, assembling captive animals from zoos and private collections the world over to ensure genetic diversity. In March 2016, the first 21 animals from this “world herd” were released over time into a fenced-off part of the reserve where they could acclimatize. Ranging over 30 miles, one female gave birth—the first oryx born into its once-native habitat in over three decades.

In late January 2017, 14 more animals were flown to the reserve in Chad from Abu Dhabi.

In 2022, the rewilded species was officially assessed by the IUCN’s Red List, and determined them to be just ‘Endangered,’ and not ‘Critically Endangered,’ with a population of between 140 and 160 individuals that was increasing, not decreasing.

It’s a tremendous achievement of international scientific and governmental collaboration and a sign that zoological efforts to breed endangered and even extinct animals in captivity can truly work if suitable habitat remains for them to return to."

Devastating. I positively loathe to admit it, but it does seem that getting a full night’s sleep before a work day, something I’ve maybe done 2-3 times in my adult life, can actually make it easier for me to focus, accomplish things, and feel good during the day. What a wretched development.

Finally I can comment on this, I've been around only past bedtime recently so I have not been able to get to this until now

The poses and the expressions could not be more fitting, I see and appreciate the amount of effort that went into each and every ruffle (I know there are a lot of them) and the care you have put into the linework and the piece as a whole shows. Thank you, I wish I could have this as a stained glass window because I know it would look beautiful with light shining through it...

your art style is fantastic, and the way you have portrayed us is perfect in every way.

and here's the rest of them

i managed a whopping 15 attacks this year! that's over double what i was able to do during my first artfight :D

Sunny this means the world to me, I love the different themes and the movements of each gif is mesmerising. The ocean gifs make me very happy, and the mechanical hand is a rare find that I appreciate very much. Thank you <3
