Colorado gray wolves reached 32 individuals with record-high pup recruitment in the 2025-2026 annual report. A Washington Post/Foreign Policy analysis confirmed conservation has prevented hundreds of extinctions globally, with the Iberian lynx now at 2,401 (KPI updated) and California condor at 607+ (KPI updated). On the threat side, ongoing coverage of the Trump administration &apos;God Squad&apos; ESA exemption documented continued legal battles to protect the critically endangered Rice&apos;s whale and sea turtles from expanded Gulf of Mexico oil drilling. Five new events added across April 24 – May 10, plus a new map point for North America&apos;s largest wildlife crossing in Colorado.</description><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>daily</category></item><item><title>Species Recovery Tracker Update — Sun May 10, 2026</title><link>https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-05-10/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-05-10/</guid><description>New census results from Uganda&apos;s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park confirmed continued growth in the mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) population.</description><pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>daily</category></item><item><title>Species Recovery Tracker Update — Thu May 7, 2026</title><link>https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-05-07/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-05-07/</guid><description>Colorado Gray Wolf Population Reaches 32 Wolves with Record-High Pup Recruitment.</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>daily</category></item><item><title>Species Recovery Tracker Update — Mon May 4, 2026</title><link>https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-05-04/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-05-04/</guid><description>&apos;God Squad&apos; ESA Exemption Removes Protections for Rice&apos;s Whale and Sea Turtles in Gulf of Mexico.</description><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>daily</category></item><item><title>Species Recovery Tracker Update — Mon Apr 27, 2026</title><link>https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-04-27/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-04-27/</guid><description>North America&apos;s Largest Wildlife Crossing Opens in Colorado, Connecting Elk and Pronghorn Migration Routes.</description><pubDate>Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>daily</category></item><item><title>Tracker initialized</title><link>https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-04-26/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://watchboard.dev/species-recovery/#digest-2026-04-26/</guid><description>Initial backfill complete.
