Everton Miranda’s handout shot of a Harpy Eagle on a nest in the southern Amazon, Brazil, was released on June 30, 2021. Harpy eagles are among the world’s largest and most powerful birds, but researchers warned on June 30, 2021, that harpy eagles residing in deforested portions of their “final bastion” in the Amazon are struggling to feed their young as their habitat is destroyed.

On June 30, 2021, a newborn green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is released onto the shore of Lalombi Village, South Banawa District, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi Priovinsi, Indonesia. The release of the green turtle baby by the Bonebula Foundation and the Baturoko Mangrove Farmers Group serves as a lesson to local inhabitants about the importance of being friendly to the animals that call the coast home. Six of the world’s seven sea turtle species, including the Green Turtle, use Indonesian seas as a foraging and breeding ground, or simply to migrate from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean and back. Year after year, the number of green turtles has declined. Hunting and trade of eggs and body parts, destruction to nesting habitat owing to coastal development, and risks at sea from fishing activities are the main hazards.
