“I don’t think things are getting better, I think we can slow the degree to which they’re getting worse” - Sir David Attenborough
#2019EBE #ClimateDebate

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Sir David Attenborough says it is "shameful" of the Prime Minister not to attend last night's climate change debate. 

"I don't know what else he had to do, but it would have to be very, very important to dodge this one."

Snow meets Attenborough. Tonight at 7pm on Channel 4.

The main driver of #deforestation in the #Amazon is #agriculture. Cattle are grazed on areas that were once dense #rainforest. Soya & other crops are grown in huge areas of #monoculture to feed livestock.

This is directly threatening 1000s of species...including humans #2019EBE

[Georgie Harding @GeorgieHarding8]

One way to engage locals in conservation is by employing them as paraecologists. But this takes time to train them, for example, marine paraecologists require knowledge of dive and safety skills #2019EBE #conservation #paraecologist #parabiologist #workingwithlocals

Some incredible wildlife spotting the last couple of weeks - oceanic white tip sharks and scalloped hammerhead sharks - epic field trip for our @SussexBiology @SussexLifeSci students - hard work but incredible life experience in addition to the field research skills 👍

This diver encountered a giant whale that wouldn't leave her alone, and then she realized what was about to come... 😱

The @WoodlandTrust is launching the UK's biggest tree planting campaign. They need a million of its to pledge to plant a tree. #everytreecounts

"How can a tailor save a tiger?" @OfficialZSL have launched a campaign in Nepal and Kenya to help people set up new livelihoods which reduce negative impacts on wildlife. Check out the link below!

Synthetic orthologs are genes that are so important in a particular location that they pretty much never are moved! #2019EBE #genetics #genes #syntheticorthologs

Interesting seminar today by Alexandros Bousios about how gene capture by transposable elements leads to epigenetic conflict #2019EBE #genetics #transposableelements #epigeneticconflict

[Georgie Harding @GeorgieHarding8]

This year, ZSL have been working with 2 rural communities directly effected by human-wildlife conflict in Kenya. By assisting people to make alternative forms of income poaching is reduced. But we’re still a long way to go.

PVD wasn’t “seen in marine species in the North Pacific until 2004 when it was found in northern sea otters in Alaska.”
The loss of sea ice causes animals to seek new pathways and consequently come into contact with new disease.

Hyenas are very vocal. Each individual has a individually characteristic “whoop” that they perform to call for backup. The well-known giggle, on the other hand, is used when agitated or in danger. #EBE2019 #hyena #vocalisations #communication #social #carnivore

The @WoodlandTrust is leading The #BigClimateFightback!

Take part in one of their tree planting events taking place across the country on 30 November 2019 during National Tree Week. https://t.co/4OFpbjytVv

Most jaguars are light, but others dark. This is polymorphism - the possibility of two or more traits on one gene. Many people think any black big cat is a 'panther.' Panthers are not a separate species, but a color morph of jaguars, leopards, & pumas! #TheMoreYouKnow #2019EBE

[Martha K @marthaconserva1]

Great news to start the day! While this decision has been made for the safety of the public, rather than the climate emergency, this shows the importance of research in affecting decision makers.
