Cameroon's decade of conflict leaves apes and conservationists in peril In August 2025, Louis Nkembi, founder of conservation NGO ERuDeF, was abducted by militia fighters in Cameroon’s Lebialem Highlands. He was held for two weeks, hidden in a secret location inside a forest. “It was a traumatic experience,” he recalls. “I can’t go back to that area until everything is resolved.” Though Nkembi was eventually freed, his ordeal sheds light on the risks facing scientists, researchers, eco-guards and conservation workers protecting apes in Cameroon’s conflict hotspots, including the Lebialem Highlands. Lebialem is a global biodiversity hotspot in Cameroon’s southwest, host to dozens of endemic and threatened species, including critically endangered Cross River gorillas (Gorilla gorilla diehli), Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes ellioti), African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis), leopards (Panthera pardus), dwarf galagos (Galagoides demidovii) and white-bellied pangolins (Phataginus tricuspis). This irresistible richness is the root of Nkembi’s love for Lebialem. He’s spent nearly three decades documenting, surveying and conserving the area through ERuDeF (the Environmental and Rural Development Foundation), which he founded in 1999. In late 2016, Lebialem, like dozens of other parks, reserves and sanctuaries in the region, was swept up in armed conflict that continues to wrack Cameroon’s Northwest and Southwest regions. “It was something that took all of...

New analysis of climate threats to biodiversity will help conservationists plan for future A new global assessment of climate risks to biodiversity across more than 98,000 protected areas worldwide provides an open-access tool to support climate resilience planning. Scientists have published the most comprehensive assessment to date of how climate change threatens biodiversity in more than 98,000 protected areas worldwide, aiming to help conservationists build resilience in the face of accelerating climate impacts. The open-access tool – Wallace’s pARCs (protected Area Resilience to Climate change) – is designed to equip protected area managers and conservation planners with accessible, actionable information, including detailed climate, landcover change, population, and biodiversity projections for most land-based protected areas larger than 1 km². It is the result of a long-term collaboration between the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the eResearch Centre at James Cook University, drawing on the work of the Wallace Initiative – named after ecologist Alfred Russell Wallace – which is investigating the areas and species that are likely to be the most and least affected by climate change in the future. Published in the journal Climate Resilience and Sustainability, this new paper documents its development and potential uses and showcases the tool’s application using the example...

'An epidemic of suffering': Why are conservationists breaking down? In December 2024, Rachel Graham, executive director of the Belize-based marine nonprofit MarAlliance, posted on LinkedIn that she knew “5 wildlife & conservation scientists who have taken their lives this year so far.” She called it a “crisis” that needed tackling. The post went viral, garnering about 18,000 impressions and 45 comments. “I’m seeing a true crisis in the conservation community,” Graham tells Mongabay. People become conservationists because they care, Graham says, but that can also lead to huge mental health problems in an age of biodiversity decline, climate change and environmental distress. Add to that the perils of the sector — often low wages, poor job security, overworking, dependence on fickle grants and burnout — and you have a ripe recipe for mental health issues. “If your identity is inextricably linked [to a mission], then when this is imperiled, the threat becomes very personal,” Graham says. “That, to me, I think, is really one of the biggest cruxes of the problem that we’re seeing right now in conservation.” The problem isn’t anecdotal. A 2023 study in Conservation Biology interviewed more than 2,000 conservation professionals and found that more than a quarter of them (27.8%) were suffering from moderate to...

"It's a kind of Tinder for big cats." Cheetahs were dying out in Africa, so conservationists tried something new When four sub-adult cheetahs arrived at Kuzuko Private Game Reserve, South Africa, in 2023, there were high hopes that the female among them would breed. There was just one snag: it turned out that all four were, in fact, male. A gender mix-up was the least of the quartet’s concerns, as their mother had been killed at Karongwe Private Game Reserve. These 9 ruthless, brutal cheetah photos reveal the raw power, speed and lethal grace of Africa's fastest cat Deadliest cats in the world: Which felines are the best killers and which attack humans? “To increase their chances of survival, they came to live in our boma facilities,” explains Jim Tan, CEO of Kuzuko, referring to the traditional fenced animal enclosure. “We looked after them to adulthood. Two went off to Lolelunga Private Reserve, Zambia, in 2024; the other two were set to go to Mozambique, but were jumped by lions – sadly, one was killed.” Kuzuko is one of more than 70 reserves across South Africa currently involved in the metapopulation management of cheetahs. It’s a modern and more holistic approach to cheetah conservation that has taken shape over the past 15 years, and has been a remarkable success...

Why conservationists are making rhinos radioactive Here are five examples of technologies that are arming conservationists and others in the battle to end wildlife crime. Tagging rhinos In July, a group of South African researchers announced they had won government approval for one of the most eyebrow-raising attempts to prevent wildlife crime: drilling radioactive substances into the horns of rhinoceroses. In an effort dubbed the Rhisotope Project, the group worked in 2024 and 2025 to fit 33 rhinos from Limpopo Rhino Orphanage in South Africa with pellets containing low-level radioactive isotopes. The project is supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Blood samples and veterinary exams have shown that the pellets don’t affect the health of the rhinos, the rangers, or the surrounding environment. But the isotope emits enough radiation for the horns to be detected by radiation portal monitors, devices that can scan cargo containers and vehicles to detect illicit sources of radiation. Eleven thousand such monitors are already in operation at airports and shipping terminals worldwide, in addition to thousands of personal monitors worn by border security. In November 2024, Rhisotope tested the system at New York airports and harbors in collaboration with the US Customs and Border Patrol. The group found that border...

Conservationists Are Sounding The Alarm Over Hyper-Realistic AI Videos of Animal Attacks and Strange Behavior Causing Real World Panic When Houssein Rayaleh received a WhatsApp message from a local ecotourism guide showing footage of a lioness in Djibouti, he was excited. The video showed the big cat running directly in front of a moving vehicle along Route Nationale 11, a road that Rayaleh knows well. This was shocking. Lions are officially extinct here: There are no records of Panthera leo in this Horn of Africa country. “I said whoa, we have a lion in Djibouti,” says Rayaleh, the CEO and founder of the NGO Djibouti Nature. So he forwarded the video on to the Cat Specialist Group at the IUCN, the global wildlife conservation authority. “As it happened, it was a fake,” Rayaleh says. Certain details spring out in the video identifying it as an AI-generated video, says Urs Breitenmoser, co-chair of the group. “The lion behaves very strangely and there are also a few sequences where you can actually see that it is morphologically not quite correct.” This video of a lion sighting in Djibouti was debunked, created using AI. Lions are locally extinct there. Video courtesy of Houssein Rayaleh. Creator unknown. Luke Hunter, executive director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s big cats program, described the video as...
