Up to 160 long-finned pilot whales were stranded on the western Australian coast on Thursday. At least 26 casualties were reported before wildlife authorities could begin a rescue attempt, officials said. The stranded whales were from four pods spread across 500 metres of shore, according to the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. An additional 20 whales were in a pod about 1.5 kilometres offshore and 110 whales formed a pod closer to the beach. “Our team is making every effort to safely respond and keep volunteers and staff safe, while also acting in the best interests o...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Sometimes all you have to do is ask for "HELP": That's what three men stranded on a deserted Pacific island learned earlier this week, writing the message in palm fronds which were spotted by US rescuers. The trio, all experienced mariners in their 40s, became stranded on a lonely island after setting off from Micronesia's Polowat Atoll on March 31 in their motor-powered skiff which subsequently experienced damage. They were reported missing last Saturday by a woman who told the US Coast Guard her three uncles never returned from Pikelot Atoll, a tiny island in the remote W...

By Zahlul Akbar, Muhammad Fadly Batubara Meulaboh (Indonésie) (AFP) - Après une nuit de recherches infructueuses au large de l'Indonésie, le capitaine d'un navire de secours a soudain distingué un point à l'horizon: un groupe de réfugiés rohingyas désespérés et brûlés par le soleil dérivait, accrochés tant bien que mal à la coque rouillée d'un navire renversé. Partis du Bangladesh, ces hommes, femmes et enfants tentaient de fuir les camps et leur criminalité, la pauvreté et l'absence d'espoir pour atteindre les côtes de l'Indonésie ou, éventuellement, de la Malaisie pour une vie meilleure. A b...

Employees of the Richmond Wildlife Center in Virginia are doing their best to act like mother foxes as they feed and care for an orphaned kit that found her way into their care. In a bid to make this as natural as possible, they had to get a little bit creative. Executive director Melissa Stanley took the unorthodox step of donning a hyper realistic fox mask while feeding the tiny kit from a syringe. The kit sits on top of a large stuffed animal fox that is supposed to look like her mother, Stanley said. How can abandoned animals be returned to the wild?This helps to minimise human sounds and ...

Gaviota (United States) (AFP) - Denise Christ regularly comes across injured wildlife in her work rescuing beached or stranded marine mammals along the California coast. But she's been shocked by the hundreds of sea lions and dolphins found on the shore in recent weeks, dead or dying from neurotoxin poisoning. "Heartbreaking, to say the least," said Christ, the Ventura County stranding coordinator for the Channel Islands Marine and Wildlife Institute (CIMWI). The animals were sickened by domoic acid, a neurotoxin produced by algae that are a food source for fish, which are then eaten by sea li...

Los Angeles (AFP) - After their Oscar-winning movie "Free Solo," about a daredevil rock climber, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin found an even more remarkable true story for their next film -- the rescue of a boys' soccer team from a Thai cave in 2018. The husband-and-wife team had watched transfixed with the rest of the world as amateur divers, Navy SEALS and hundreds of volunteers pulled off a seemingly impossible rescue through miles of dark, perilous, flooded caves. Once the 12 boys and their coach had been plucked miraculously from their subterranean prison, the documentary maker...
