It's Grrrreat: Wild Tiger Populations On the Rise in Thailand
The number of Indochinese tigers in Thailand have nearly tripled, a bright spot for the endangered species. Here's why.
Puffins and other seabirds have a permanent home now that a wildlife group owns their nesting grounds on 300-foot cliffs at the tip of Scotland.
Puffins and other water birds have a new home at the most northern point of Scotland, after a UK wildlife group purchased a stunning 40-acre site at Dunnet Head.
Sitting on a rugged peninsula with 300-foot tall cliffs, the site is a natural "seabird city," drawing tens of thousands of puffins, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars and kittiwakes.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has leased the land since 2008, but has finally been able to buy it outright. With the purchase, the historic waterfowl breeding ground will become a permanent bird refuge.
Previous owner Ben Colson had held onto the site for 25 years, preventing any commercial development. He said selling it to the Scotland group will "ensure it continues as a place of wild beauty."
