LEAD IN :
We must change our behaviour to protect many of the Earth's iconic species from extinction and create a sustainable future.
That's according to a United Nations report released in 2019 warning how our Earth is being pushed towards extinction by manmade pollution, deforestation, climate change.
And it seems species loss is accelerating to a rate tens or hundreds of times faster than in the past.
STORYLINE :
Nature is in more trouble now than at any other time in human history, with extinction looming over 1 million species of plants and animals, scientists said in the United Nations' first comprehensive report on biodiversity.
The impact of humans is threatening many species with extinction and devastating biodiversity according to the United Nations report released on May 6, 2019.
More than half a million species on land "have insufficient habitat for long-term survival" and are likely to go extinct, many within decades, unless their habitats are restored the report said.
Species like the Northern White Rhino, which has been hunted to extinction, fuelled by the demand for rhino horn.
Najin and Fatu - seen here at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Nanyuki, Kenya along with a Southern White rhino - are the last two female Northern White rhinos in the world. There are no longer any males.
The last male, a 45-year-year-old named Sudan, died in March 2018 - euthanised after age-related complications.
However this year brought renewed hope for the fate of the Northern White rhino.
In September scientists in Italy announced that they have created two embryos using oocytes (eggs) collected from the two remaining females and frozen sperm from deceased males.
Vets successfully harvested eggs from Najin and Fatu at the conservancy, raising hopes scientists may save the species from extinction.
Avantea Srl is a lab specialising in advanced technologies for animal reproduction and biotechnology research.
Avantea achieved the world's first cloned horse, Prometea in 2003.
Neither Najin nor Fatu is able to carry a calf, one has lesions in her uterus and the other has weak legs which would endanger any pregnancy.
The two embryos are now stored in liquid nitrogen and will be transferred into a Southern White rhino who will act as a surrogate mother in the near future.
In the UK AI technology is also being used to help protect elephants from humans.
A UK zoo is helping train AI cameras to recognise approaching Asian elephants.
It's hoped the technology can be used as an early alert system, preventing the estimated 40-50 elephants deaths a year caused by crop-raiding in India.
Using a thermal imaging camera, intern Sophie Vines has been snapping the zoo's elephant inhabitants from every angle imaginable.
Working with Arribada conservation tech initiative, the zoo is using machine learning to automatically recognise the thermal image of an Asian elephant.
This high-tech early warning system will send alerts to communities that an elephant is nearby.
"We are using thermal imaging technology and machine learning to create an early warning system, which will be deployed in local communities where human-elephant wildlife conflict is a major issue," explains Vines.
The aim is to reduce surprise human-elephant encounters, which are often the cause of elephants injuring humans and - perhaps in retaliation or fear - humans hurting elephants.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) says Asian elephants live in the region of the world with the densest human population, growing at a rate of between one to three percent a year.
Up to 300 people in India are killed annually by human-elephant conflict, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
Forty to fifty elephants are killed a year during crop raids in India, says the WWF.
On a dairy farm of the future, cows are going wireless.
The bovine residents of a British agricultural technology research center are testing next generation mobile technology aimed at helping make dairy farming more efficient.
This herd's 180 cows are fitted with wireless monitoring collars that work like fitness trackers and record their activity, sending it to the cloud using fifth generation, or 5G, mobile network signals.
From there, an algorithm analyzes the data, notifying farmers and veterinarians, through a smartphone app, if there are any fluctuations that could indicate an illness or other health condition that needs more attention.
Duncan Forbes, Project Manager, Agricultural Engineering Precision Innovation Centre explains " So, they can see, very early on, the earliest indications of when a cow might not be so well."
The goal is to boost productivity and save manpower by allowing farmers to keep an eye on their herds remotely.
Tortoises were once common in Rio de Janeiro but have been hunted to extinction.
Now a group of zoologists wants to bring them back, beginning at the city's largest park.
These animals belong to the species Chelonoidis Denticulata or Yellow-Footed Tortoise.
Many were sold as pets when they were young and have been living in captivity.
However these animals can live to up to eighty years of age, weigh sixty kilograms with a shell measuring up to eighty two centimetres long.
Eight females and seven males were released onto the forest floor.
They are expected to lose some weight until they learn to search for food on their own. Radio transmitting devices will be installed on their shells allowing the team to locate them easily when necessary, and monitor their roaming in this large 39.7 square kilometre park.
"I think that with a bit of luck being left on their own they will adapt and start reproducing quickly. I think the population will grow well if not disturbed," says Fernando Fernandez, Zoologist, Head of REFAUNA wildlife reintroduction programme.
Tijuca Park is considered an "empty forest". All animal species here were hunted to extinction long ago.
The Refauna programme hopes to bring back many more species. Next in line are the blue and yellow macaws, scheduled for 2020.
A chick from an endangered species of flamingo has been born in a bird sanctuary on the Scottish Borders thousands of miles from its native home in Chile.
The chick is the latest success for conservationists hoping to save the species from extinction.
Chilean pink flamingos are near threatened,which means their populations in the wild are in decline.
Sloths thrive in tropical rainforests in South and Central America, but as human populations grow, the slow-paced mammals are facing new threats.
In Costa Rica, one animal shelter is focussed on caring for sloths.
While the pygmy three-toed sloth is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the Hoffman's two-toed sloth is classified as Least Concern.
Some of the residents of the shelter have been orphaned, others attacked by dogs, while still more have been hit by cars or electrocuted by power lines.
Others were mistreated by humans trying to sell them as pets.
The ranch has released more than 100 sloths - both two and three fingered - into the wild since 2007.
Figures released in September by a team of scientists at London Zoo show 138 harbour and grey seal pups have been born this year in the Thames Estuary.
It's a major success story after the River Thames was declared 'biologically dead' in the 1950s.
The count was made after a stream of photos were taken from light aircraft earlier this year.
The fact that these creatures are growing and breeding in large numbers, according to biologists, is a sign that the waters here are healthy.
An international team of marine scientists from ZSL (Zoological Society of London) counted 1,104 harbour seals and 2,406 grey seals across the estuary.
The figures represented a 14 percent increase in harbour seals and a 19 percent increase in grey seals since 2016.
Teams have been collecting data about wildlife on the Thames River for the past two decades.
Further up river on the Thames a unique tradition - known as 'Swan Upping' - shows Britain's Queen Elizabeth II exercising her ancient right as Seigneur of the Swans, meaning Lord of the Swans.
The title means by tradition she owns all mute swans found on Britain's open waters. Mute Swans are a species of orange-billed swan.
In practice, she only exercises that right here, along the River Thames.
While David Barber, the Queen's Swan Marker, stresses this ancient tradition is now about conservation and education, in the past it meant a hearty dinner - swan was once a food served at feasts and banquets.
"Swan Upping dates way back to the 12th Century, when swans very a very important food," explains Barber.
"Of course today Swan Upping is all about education and conservation."
The name 'Swan Upping' comes from the fact boats travel up stream, scooping up swans as they go.
When a group of cygnets is spotted, oarsmen shout: "All up!"
The boats - known as skiffs - then surround the family of birds, forcing them towards shore.
Once crews have caught the swans, they're taken on shore to be checked.
This year the Swan Uppers counted 127 cygnets, up from 106 the previous year.
Residents of a remote Greek island have come together to try to stop goats from literally eating away their land.
Huge numbers of goats on Samothraki island have eaten the shrubland bare and caused devastating erosion.
Now locals are planning a fight back.
Goats outnumber human inhabitants 12-to-1 and are munching stretches of Samothraki into a moonscape.
Semi-wild, they roam across the island roughly three times the size of Manhattan.Their unchecked overgrazing is causing crisis-level erosion.
The Sustainable Samothrace Association has been working for more than a decade to educate locals on the issue and propose solutions to the goats, and lately also sheep, overgrazing.
Herds grew in number due to European Union subsidies, under a system that critics say was poorly monitored and lacked any long-term planning. It now may have to be reversed as a livestock reduction appears inevitable, along with grazing limits.
Now the European Union policy has changed, the goat owners are not getting enough subsidies and they are in financial trouble. They cannot feed the animals, and they can't get enough from selling all the products that animals give."
Prices for wool, leather, meat, and milk dropped as Samothraki's farmers grew increasingly desperate.
The environmental group, made of dozens of locals, has worked with overseas researchers on different pilot projects to tackle the problem and helped create a herd management website app.
Local livestock farmers have joined a newly created cooperative to try to pool resources and establish a brand for the island.
In Scotland an animal rescue centre has been inundated with tens of thousands of mascara brushes after sending out a plea on social media.
This baby hedgehog, or hoglet, is being carefully groomed with a mascara brush at an animal rescue centre in Scotland.
Winter can be a tough time for hoglets, and this one weighs just under 600 grams, the minimum healthy weight for hedgehogs.
More than 250,000 brushes have been sent to the centre - where they're being used to groom small animals in care such as hedgehogs and bats.
Scientists in the US are trying to recruit 10-thousand pet dogs in the largest ever study of healthy aging in canines.
The research team driving the project is hoping their study will shed light on human longevity too.
Frisbee is 14 years old but people often confuse her for a puppy.
Her owner, Daniel Promislow, pathology professor and director of the Canine Longevity Consortium, is interested in finding out what makes her age so well.
Promislow is the co-director of a project called The Dog Aging project which recruits dog owners and their pets to study the biology of aging in canines.
" People love dogs and dogs age much more quickly than humans do. They die when they're much younger than we are," Promislow says.
"And so understanding how to keep dogs healthier longer is going to be good for dogs and good for the people who love dogs."
The National Institute on Aging is paying for the $23 million project because dogs and humans share the same environment, get the same diseases and dogs’ shorter lifespans allow quicker research results.
The data collected will be available to all scientists.
The project will collect a pile of pooch data: vet records, DNA samples, gut microbes and information on kibble and walkies.
A subset of 500 dogs will test a pill that could slow the aging process.
For the study, the dogs will live normally at home, possibly with extra visits to veterinary specialists for certain tests.
Their welfare will be monitored by a bioethicist and a panel of animal welfare advisers.
Promislow's own dog, Frisbee, will not participate to prevent a conflict of interest.
The five-year study is funded by the US National Institute of Aging.
From dogs to cats.... meet the black and silver spotted Persian with distinctive orange eyes that won best SuperCat at the 20th edition of the SuperCat Show in Rome in November.
A variety of felines competed from playful Bengals, majestic Maine Coons and fluffy Siberian cats.
Meanwhile in the UK one moggy is still in residence at a very well known address, despite a recent change in human residents.
Downing Street's "Chief mouser" Larry the cat has become a familiar presence outside the prime minister's residence since he moved there in 2011.
A rescue cat from humble beginnings he's now used to rubbing paws with presidents, politicians and passing police officers.
Larry the tabby has the official title of 'Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office', a tradition with its claws in the 16th century court of Henry VIII.
Downing Street staff, not British taxpayers, are picking up the costs of feeding Larry.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson moved in this July, and his Conservative party won a second UK general election in December.
Larry's resilience and diligence in his role has earned a place in the hearts of the nation as Britain's favourite moggy (cat).
