Could a wasp help protect one of Darwin’s finches? 🐦🪰 We're proud to partner with Friends of the Charles Darwin Foundation for the #Galápagos Islands to help more chicks of Critically Endangered Medium Tree-finch take flight on #Floreana. Learn more here: phoenixspeciesproject.org/species/medi...
A small brown Medium Tree-finch perches on a branch beneath the headline “Vampires in its nest?!” Text introduces the bird as one of Darwin’s finches, with an unexpected enemy.A photograph of an avian vampire fly overlaps a large pink “approximately 40%.” Text explains that around 40% of Medium Tree-finch chicks in one study died from fly parasitism. The fly’s larvae feed on hatchlings’ blood.Text explains that about 24 square kilometres of forest habitat remain for the Medium Tree-finch, whose home includes giant daisy trees.A photo collage shows a Medium Tree-finch, a hanging mesh box, and two researchers working in a forest. Text describes a partnership with Friends of the Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galápagos Islands to help the finch thrive on Floreana.

This International Orangutan Day, meet the Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis), the world’s rarest great ape. 🦧🌿 Fewer than 800 mature individuals are estimated to remain, and protecting the #TapanuliOrangutan means protecting the forest they depend on. #Phoenixspeciesproject
