Where I Work is an award-winning photography feature from the journal Nature. It celebrates the many roles and types of research undertaken by scientists globally, and challenges stereotypical perceptions of what a scientist does, or what they look like. https://t.co/fr8XxqM0aD

The best science images of 2024 — Nature’s picks https://t.co/0Bixin8N6i via @Nature

A European Honey Buzzard Bird was fitted with a satellite tracking system. She started her flight in Reitz, Free State, South Africa on 20th April 2020 to reach Finland on the 2nd of June.

Here is an image showing the data
tracker which plots out the route that she took to head north.

In just 42 days, she covered over
10,000 km at an average of more than 230 km every single day.

She took a straight flight line north except for when she had to fly over water.

Apparently she turned right at the source of the Nile and followed it, but after that deviation she returned to the same longitudinal line she started.

Extraordinary.

Gored by buffalo and poisoned by poachers, Uganda's famous 'lion with nine lives' has cheated death numerous times – and now he has been filmed swimming across the predator-infested Kazinga Channel.

A diver stumbles across a whale shark trapped in a commercial fishing line in a marine sanctuary that bans fishing, while the giant lies still while the rope is cut. The footage also shows the scale of a whale shark vs a human.

It was nighttime when our Kaluku Operations Room received the call: Coming back from patrol, a SWT/KWS Anti-Poaching had discovered a large elephant stuck in mud. Runoff from the rains had turned an inconsequential wallow into a life-or-death situation.

A recumbent elephant — even a full-grown bull — is easy pickings for poachers or predators. Leaving him unaccompanied overnight was out of the question. Instead, our rangers stood guard by his side & looked after him, from darkness to dawn.

At first light the following morning, it was all systems go. Watch on (and hear Jackson’s account) of the massive operation to free our giant neighbour. Read the full story here:

🌍 Sharing this story on #EarthDay has special significance. This bull’s saga unfolded due to natural circumstances, but all too often, mankind is the culprit behind our field emergencies: a tiny calf orphaned through human-wildlife conflict, a giant tusker targeted by poachers, climate change. Human actions have reshaped Earth in such a dire, dramatic way that it is incumbent upon us to balance the scales.

Our conservation work is entirely made possible through the support of donors like you. Give today:

Again & again, we witness the incredible instincts of elephants. A recent op to treat orphan Barsilinga, who returned home for help, is a powerful reminder of their intuitive abilities & testimony to the capacity for trust they have in those who earn it: https://t.co/35ZSQwSK7o
