We were invited to observe Piodalan. It is a celebration that honours the Hindu temples for blessing the devotees with cosmic balance, and an opportunity to give thanks for peace and well-being. Prayers start the night before in the main temple and the different villages will congregate with offerings and processions including music and dance.

The festival continues till the next day where devotees must walk, journeying seaward bearing the weight of their Gods on their shoulders and the offerings on their heads.

What a sight it is to witness and be part of the festivities where traditions shape culture and practices. This celebration also took place on International Coastal Cleanup Day, and there was no better way than to celebrate it by the coast with the very communities that devote their lives to protecting it.

Welcome to Wild Bali — a different side.

Beyond the surf and the beaches lies a different side of Bali, one shaped over geological timescales. From Mount Agung and Mount Batur to the rivers that carry sediment down to the sea, feeding the coral reefs and the marine life they support.

But mass tourism has taken its toll. In some places, mountains of trash now overflow onto the very shores that draw visitors here.

Can we keep supporting the Bali we love, and respecting the place that draws people from around the world to eat, pray, and love? What we choose today shapes what's left tomorrow.

We're heading to Bali soon for coral restoration work, and to spend time in the village with local fisherfolk. Want in? DM us for details!

Guess which nature engineer is behind the picture?

In this month's The Wild Post, we're spotlighting nature's engineers, those that don't wear hard hats. Those that are working unseen beneath our feet to support agriculture, and the everyday trees that feed and shelter everything from caterpillars to sloths.

Turns out, some of the best infrastructure on Earth was never built by us.

🦁 Fresh off Wild Kenya: Serval kittens, cheetahs on the move, and a rhino rescue-and-release operation that had rangers, vets, and Kenya Wildlife Service moving fast to get him back to safety. We also spent an unforgettable evening with our Maasai guides — smoked-gourd chai, a shared feast, and the news that we're now sponsoring 10 Maasai students with year-long scholarships. 💛

📅 Two events coming up in Singapore — an evening with young conservation changemakers, and a deep dive into Singapore's wild leopard cats as part of Earth In Focus.

Wild Conversations| Youths Sowing the Seeds of Change

Change doesn't always begin with a big idea. Sometimes it begins with a young person asking a simple question: What can I do?

For our upcoming conversation, we spotlight a new generation of change makers who are tuning their passion for nature, conservation and sustainability into action.

From protecting wildlife and championing biodiversity to safeguarding our oceans and empowering communities, these young leaders are already making their marketing through these organizations.

Rachel - Project Avigate, Earthlink NTU
Yong Jen - CITES Global Youth Network, Herpetological Society of Singapore, Sustainable Ocean Alliance
Zhan Thiam - SEAmplified

Their stories remind us that conservation isn't something we have to wait to do. We can start where we are, with what we have, and grow change together.

Join us to explore what drives them and ask what it takes to turn passion into meaningful action.

The African savannah is often seen as a place of survival, but look a little closer and you'll discover that it's equally a story of cooperation.

From oxpeckers feeding on parasites while keeping rhinos and buffalo healthy, to zebras and wildebeest migrating together across the plains, life in Kenya reminds us that nature thrives through connection.

The Great Migration is more than a spectacle of millions of animals on the move. It is a remarkable demonstration of instinct, resilience, and collective survival. Different species rely on one another's strengths — zebras graze the tougher grasses first, making way for wildebeest to feed on the fresh shoots that follow. Together, they increase their chances of finding food while staying vigilant against predators.

Across every ecosystem, countless symbiotic relationships quietly shape the balance of life. Each species plays a role, proving that survival isn't always about competing — it's often about collaborating.

Perhaps there's something we can learn from the wild. In nature, resilience is rarely built alone.

Join us on a Wild Kenya adventure as we explore one of Earth's most extraordinary ecosystems and discover the remarkable relationships that keep it alive.

Commemorating World Ranger Day, we honour the courageous men and women who stand on the front lines of wildlife conservation.

Often working in remote and challenging conditions, rangers dedicate their lives to protecting some of the world's most threatened species. From safeguarding rhinos against poaching to monitoring habitats, supporting research, and working alongside local communities, their commitment is the backbone of conservation.

Every rhino that continues to roam the wild is a testament to their vigilance, resilience, and unwavering dedication.

We remember those who have lost their lives in the line of duty and celebrate those who continue this vital work every single day.

To every ranger protecting our natural world—thank you. Your courage gives wildlife a fighting chance.

What if one of the oldest conservation philosophies isn't found in science textbooks but in the traditions of Indigenous communities?

Across the world, Indigenous peoples have lived alongside forests, rivers and wildlife for generations, guided by belief systems that see humans as part of nature, not separate from it. Animism has shaped how communities protect sacred forests, respect wildlife and steward landscapes long before the term "conservation" existed.

As modern conservation continues to evolve, there is much we can learn from these enduring relationships between people and the natural world.

In our latest journal article, we explore the role of Indigenous animism in conservation, why these knowledge systems matter today, and how they continue to shape the future of biodiversity protection.

What are your thoughts on the role of Indigenous knowledge in conservation?
