On my recent trip to Africa, I got to spend 24 hours living with the pygmy tribe in the middle of the rainforest in the Central African Republic. I had permission from the chief to visit, and it was a wonderful and eye-opening experience! If you find this story interesting, please share it with your friends!

This has been an unbelievable breeding season for our critically endangered mountain pygmy possum colony. We believe over 20 babies have been born, plus more on they way. With only 2000 left in the wild, and captive breeding knowledge, information, data and success is vital for this species survival. Our NDIS funded Zoo Crew program helped with the success of this year’s amazing breeding results. Perhaps being neurodiverse can be a super power! Couldn’t have done it without our fabulous zoo crew

Found in the tall grasslands of the southern Himalayan foothills, the smallest pig in the world is also the rarest. Loss and degradation of the pygmy hog's habitat threaten to wipe out the species, but successful reintroductions offer some hope for the future. We are proud to be a part of the Pygmy Hog Conservation Programme to try and save this Critically Endangered species from extinction. | Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust
