Science "discovers" what the locals have long known.

How little we understand about the amazing #biodiversity that we are fast trashing

Migratory freshwater fish are vital for food systems, cultures, biodiversity.

Proud to partner on a new report that IDs 349 transboundary species at risk, with only 24 now protected under @BonnConvention.

We need coordinated action. https://t.co/CiDHpNFRne #CMSCOP15

An amazing summary of electric fish diversity, showing species with marine and freshwater habitats, strong and weak electric discharges, South American and African distributions, pulse and wave type discharges, and the anatomical location of the electric organs. A masterwork.

Happy New Year & all the best for 2026! I thought I’d highlight some of the amazing species that have been rediscovered by researchers in 2025. Each rediscovery acts as a powerful motivator for conservation action, highlighting that there is so much more to (re)discover!

Exactly, taxonomists know how to describe species. New tech may help but facing the biodiversity crisis what we need most is just more taxonomists, and more support for natural history museums.
