Equipping rangers with reliable data collection tools (e.g., #SMART) to track their patrols can help correct bias and improve poaching models.

However, it’s a challenging journey that may require a separate thread. For more insights, check out this piece: https://t.co/4k3CNyJGd8

Good morning! I’m Blessing Kavhu (@Blekavhu), and I’m excited to take over today for #BlackMammalogists! Join me as I dive into my work on mammals, with a focus on geospatial analysis. Currently, I'm a postdoc at @ucsc , and I can't wait to share my journey with you!

However, ranger-collected data can be unreliable due to patrol bias, leading to inaccurate models. 🤔

Collaborations between rangers and spatial modelers can help correct this bias and create more accurate maps.🗺️ https://t.co/OITuCXWqjc

@oiler3535 3) It’s also great to discuss with them how people and communities can make choices that protect wildlife and habitats. 🌿

Co-creating connectivity maps with communities in elephant🐘- inhabited landscapes showed how Indigenous knowledge 🌍 complements geospatial analysis 🛰️ for validating elephant corridors in data-limited areas.

Community voices 🗣️ are key to tackling habitat fragmentation! 🌱

@oiler3535 2) We use technology like satellites, GPS and maps 🛰️ to track wildlife habitats, but technology doesn’t always work alone. It sometimes needs help from people, especially those with local or historical knowledge, to fully understand the land and animals. 🌿🌍

Thanks for joining me today folks! Have a restful weekend and, in the wise words of @sciencewithtyus, stay curious!

Give me a follow on Twitter @Science_Miathod as I start my PhD. 🫡

[RealScientists @realscientists]

Happy Friday science lovers! I’m Mia (@Science_Miathod) and I’ll be your host for today.

I’m a first-year PhD student at UC Davis and just finished my MSc in Ecology. My specialty is disease ecology and conservation. Come learn about disease, deserts, and more!

[RealScientists @realscientists]

So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to for the last few years…any questions?

[RealScientists @realscientists]

They’re literally GIVING these away. Throw your hat in the ring for some sick field equipment!
