Mojostreaming an online wildlife
network dedicated to bringing our viewers the latest wildlife stories,
entertainment, and opportunity to experience wildlife in its natural state.
The pandemic has dampened our
tourism and the opportunity for people to travel abroad. Mojostreaming wants to bring this experience into
your home.
Tracking the mountain
gorillas through the misty forest (for example) requires patience and stamina
often walking for hours in the mud and wet. Finally meeting them in the
undergrowth is an inspiring moment. Quietly chewing away at their vegetarian
delicacies, they seem like a marooned human family.

5. Tooth-billed Pigeon
A relative of the extinct dodo, tooth-billed pigeons are disappearing at an alarming rate. They only live in Samoa and are currently fewer than 400 left in the wild, with no captive populations to help conservation efforts. They are elusive birds, very rarely seen. Even though illegal today, hunting has played a huge part in their decline, along with the main threat being habitat loss due to agriculture, or natural causes likes cyclones or trees.
4. Gharial
Gharials are fish-eating crocodiles from India. They have long thin snouts with a large bump on the end which resembles a pot known as a Ghara, which is where they get their name. They spend most of their time in freshwater rivers, only leaving the water to bask in the sun and lay eggs. There are only around 200 left in the wild. Their decline is due to several issues, though all human-made. Habitat loss, pollution and entanglement in fishing nets pose as some of the biggest threats.
3. Kakapo
The kakapo, also called owl parrot, is a species of large, flightless, nocturnal, ground-dwelling parrot. The total known adult Kakapo population is 209, all of which are named and tagged, confined to four small islands off the coast of New Zealand that have been cleared of predators. A kakapo’s natural reaction is to freeze and blend in with the background when threatened. It is effective against predators that rely on sight to hunt but not smell.
2. Amur Leopard
Amur leopards are one of the world’s most endangered big cats. They are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In 2015, there were only around 90 Amur leopards left within their natural range. That number is now estimated to be less than 70. Like all species on the endangered list, humans are their biggest threat. Their beautiful coats are popular with poachers as are their bones which are sold for use in traditional Asian medicine. They are also at risk from habitat loss due to natural and human-made fires.
1. Vaquita
The vaquita is both the smallest and the most endangered marine mammal in the world. It has been classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN since 1996, and in 2018, there were only around 15 vaquitas left. The latest estimate, from July 2019, suggests there are currently only 9. Their biggest threat is from the illegal fishing of totoaba, a large fish in demand because of its swim bladder. Vaquitas accidentally end up entangled in the gillnets set for totoaba and drown because they can no longer swim to the surface to breathe.
‘The Tribe Endangered’ No. 1. George
Where’s George today?
Elder statesman of the tribe
Perhaps its long-lived Chief
George we’ve already introduced
In another verse, but here he is again
Unknowingly enjoying his fame
He lives his life on a beach
An Atoll called Cousins
At a giant tortoise pace
Aldabra Giant Tortoise
Aldabrachelys Gigantea
Lumbering around
In his mobile helmet home
OK, because that’s what he is
And that’s what giant tortoises do
The same driving rules as us all
Hunger and passing on genes
Links in an unbroken chain
But his cousins had theirs broken
Eaten out of house and home
By historically hungry sailors
Only Aldabras remain, like George
But what’s in a name ?
A being worthy of living a life
Left to his own devices
Doing what giant tortoises do
Looking at the sea and sky
Searching for today’s meal
Or a rather attractive slow-walking rock
Hiding away when it gets too hot
More than a hunk of a ‘living rock’
Who likes to break things*
Plodding around for longer than us
Living more than a hundred years
Some even two or longer
That’s George’s life
On his island paradise
His home long before they were known
As the Seychelles
(Now open again)
George and his kind
Are not strictly endangered
Just limited in numbers and range
George is safe when tourists are around
Contributing to upkeeping his home
On YouTube amusing some of them
Going into battle with a rival table
Or a pretender barbecue
Upstart, to be upturned
Or was that just an amorous advance?
Either way, short-sighted at a glance
Visiting his island keeps him in home
He carries his own house
Then visitation dried up interminably
That story can’t be told in one line
Just now begins the trickle back
Only two threats now are known
Drip feeding of existential funding
Or any change to his home
Just this little change of climate thing
That threaten his shores, not alone
George may well outlive us
But right now he needs help directly
Your money is your proxy
Keeping the conservation going
Until you can greet him personally
It’s up to the rest of us in our homes
To ensure his home remains
An Atoll
Above the sea
For George to keep doing his thing
Master and Commander of his islandship
Defender of the realm of living rocks
Legend in his Aldabran mind
So remember to mind your table!
