One of the images from the very aptly named Cobble Beach at the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area near Newport, Oregon. Loving the visual texture of this so much, I may have to make prints - who wants one? . . . #newportoregon #cobblebeach #yaquinahead #pebblebeach #oregoncoast #blackbeach #visitoregon #protectedarea #dnr #printsavailable (at Yaquina Bay Light)

For the first time in 20 years, a camera trap has captured a spotted #hyena in #Gabon’s Batéké Plateau National Park! After years of poaching the park was decimated. Now after decades of hard work several others species like lions, gorillas, chimpanzees and sevral have also re-emerged and have taken up residency in the park.🌍| Photo by: @pantheracats/ANPN/TAF | #spotted #spottedhyena #cameratrap #discover #discovery #Africa #nationalpark #protectedarea #endextinction #nature #wildlifeconservation #conservation #wildlife #wildlifephotography #animals #fieldwork #animalphotography #ranger #hope #repopulate #goodnews #biologist #conservationoptimism #KeyConservation

Wuyishan tea tasting and sampling, May 2016. Da Hong Pao and Rou Gui were the winners and we tasted many that day. Rock Teas grown in the protected areas amid the large rocks and cliffs are prized throughout the world. Those teas also command quite justifiable high prices. #thehappyteaman #teamaster #tea #rocktea #yancha #rougui #dahongpao #protectedarea #wuyishan #highprice (at Wuyishan)

The red-crested tree rat hadn't been seen for 113 years until one day it showed up at the front door of an ecolodge. It was rediscovered in the El Dorado Nature Reserve in Colombia 🇨🇴 by two volunteers who were there monitoring endangered amphibians. A discovery like this highlights the importance of protecting ecosystems. You never know what you might be saving! 🌳| Photo by: Lizzie Noble/ProAves | #discovery #rediscover #endextinction #conservation #endangered #discover #criticallyendangered #wildlife #Colombia #SouthAmerica #ecolodge #ecotourism #explore #fieldwork #science #wildlifebiologist #wildlifewin #cute #fluffy #rat #treerat #nature #animal #jungle #forest #reserve #protectedarea #KeyConservation

Camera traps reveal an undiscovered leopard population in the Javan forest that were long thought to be gone. The Indonesian government placed hidden camera traps in the Cikepuh Wildlife Reserve and spotted 3 critically endangered Javan leopards, 2 gold with black spots and one all black. Officials also believe there may be up to 11 leopards living in the reserve and with less than 250 Javan leopards left in the world this discovery is significant. 🐆| Photos by: Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry | #wildlifephotography #wildlifebiologist #fieldwork #conservation #wildlife #wildlifeconservation #leopard #Java #Indonesia #Javanleopard #cameratrap #blackleopard #animals #discover #discovery #nature #reserve #protectedarea #hope #KeyConservation
