"Our spirits sink when @JenNightingale1 gestures towards the cliff that forms the next transect. The one we are helping with. The butter-smooth, iron-grey, impossibly steep slab of unadulterated rock that we must scale if we are to see Silky Wave." Today: Avon Gorge's star moth.
Some of the toads that have made it safely to the lake to breed! Thanks to the volunteers for helping them reach their destination ! 🐸 #amphibians#toadsontheroad#wildlife
@BristolZooGdns as a lead partner in Rapid Response Biosecurity Project is hosting Rapid Life conference on invasive non-native species biocontrol today. Showcasing exceptional work of local partners & organisations and our own native species team @APHAgovuk#conservationoptimism
And finally, Jen Nightingale introduces the new @BIAZA Reintroduction Advisory Group, which will support best practice in conservation translocations across the BIAZA membership and ultimately facilitate the ongoing role of zoos in successful #rewilding projects #BIAZA2020
