Hot off the press! A brand new #conservation synopsis for anguillid eels in inland habitats. This was a r-eely interesting project to work on!
#eels #evidence

[Conservation Evidence @ConservEvidence]

📣 New Synopsis! 📣 Eel Conservation in Inland Habitats. Anguillid eels are mysterious creatures, making their conservation challenging. We summarise evidence for inland conservation actions such as installing fish and eel passes and translocation. https://t.co/ilRpHDI69p

Insectivorous bats strongly reduce their feeding flight behaviour in response to ground-mounted solar farms 🦇

Such decrease in feeding results in reduced habitat quality, which should be mitigated when solar energy projects are planned 📑

Great to be back at the #NatBatConf talking about @ConservEvidence and where we are at with the Bat Conservation Synopsis. The evidence base is growing but we need more studies...can you help?!

[Bat Conservation Trust @_BCT_]

Next talk is by @Conservation1st talking about the importance of having an evidence based approach to bat conservation @ConservEvidence #NatBatConf

Can we keep ignoring non-English-language science? We found 1,234 papers in 16 languages that test what works in conservation. Including them will boost evidence availability in conservation into 12-25% more areas & 5-32% more species. #languagebarriers https://t.co/YBzqMQtIDF

[Bill Sutherland @Bill_Sutherland]

Important blog in The Conversation on the catastrophic problem of ignoring non English studies in Conservation. For about half the planet the majority of the literature isn't in English. 36% of literature not in English. Yet this literature largely ignored

Great summary thread from @diarsia explaining the method (including huge amount of nighttime fieldwork) and results from a study investigating street lighting impacts on insects ⬇️

We’re delighted to release What Works in Conservation 2021 – a free, comprehensive assessment of the evidence for 2,426 actions for wildlife conservation. Now includes assessments for ALL mammals (plus 11 other species & habitat groups) @OpenBookPublish
