@AnimalConserv This is interesting, since my undergrad dissertation found no statistical sig in fledging success between nest with high/low flea burdens (very small sample sizes however).

What if you woke up tomorrow and your home was gone? 🏚️

For Arctic wildlife, this isn’t hypothetical. As sea ice melts, it opens the door for southern species to move north — a process scientists call borealisation. These newcomers outcompete specialists like polar bears, seals, and seabirds, who are perfectly adapted to life on the ice and can’t survive without it.

On #WorldHabitatDay, we’re reminded that protecting habitats means protecting species. In the Arctic, that means protecting sea ice — the foundation of life itself. ❄️🐻‍❄️

@earthcurated Go for a walk and take photos. Sit in its peace.

@OneLuckyGirl_28 I'd love a job please. It needs to be working from home, and I'd love it to be related to my recent BSc and MSc, so animal welfare, zoology, conservation, or other ecological studies related. Thank you x

[Julie Carter @JAC_258]

@DudespostingWs I'm the opposite!

@IUCN_SMSG @BarbastellaJ @rewild @theGEF I thought discrimination was no longer allowed?

[Julie Carter @JAC_258]

@fesshole I'm just wondering if he really had..? 🤔

@fesshole Change a few large lump sums into foreign currency for your 'holiday', then change back into ££s

An urgent call came in: 3 elephants were stuck in a deep & steep-sided dam, escape was impossible – without help! Teams from the SWT and KWS responded, and Wildlife Works loaned a backhoe, which we drove to the scene on our flatbed truck. After hours of digging, all 3 elephants were able to climb to safety using a new passageway; a victorious outcome for the elephants & their rescuers.

@Dr_DSGreen I love him, he looks real!

@Ben_garrod It's a shame the disabled/sick, rendered reliant on benefits for the rest of their lives don't have an opportunity to strike. Instead they are forced to survive on incomes <12k out of which everything must be paid. I'm actually disgusted.

[Julie Carter @JAC_258]

@Dr_DSGreen Awww look at that! I love it!! Is it a street facing window? You'll be famous 😍

[Julie Carter @JAC_258]

@Dr_DSGreen Aww I love him, and his name! 🤣❤️
