Itâs always amazing to me that so many endangered species have the word âcommonâ in their name. Really hammers home how quickly these conservation crises can arise. These animals were common as recently as when we were naming stuff!

Moratorium(4 yrs) on intro of genetically engineered organisms into wild defeated by one vote! Even though we had majority of votes, for motions to pass at IUCN World Congress you need to win both government and NGO categories. We lost the governments vote by one! Canât get closer than that.
