For the first time since 1996, the bridge that links Mpala Research Centre to the world is under water. Mpala will be inaccessible until further notice.
Just out: We found that elephant poaching was lower at parks where surrounding human well-being was higher (based on excellent household survey data)
We also found corruption, law enforcement, and ivory price effects.

I’ve read far too much today pitching farmers & environmentalists against each other. Reality is most farmers understand fully the need to farm in a sustainable manner & most environmentalists understand the pivotal role farmers play in the delivery of environmental outcomes
Six #giraffes lie dead in Sabuli Wildlife Conservancy in Wajir, #Kenya. The giraffes, weak from lack of food and water caused by severe #drought, died after getting stuck in mud as they tried to drink from a nearly dried-up reservoir nearby. Shot for @GettyImages#climatechange
Such interesting work "...our data suggests that the transmission clusters in different parts of SW England that are still evident today were established by long-distance seeding events involving cattle movement, not by recrudescence from a long-established wildlife reservoir."

Today, we rescued a beaver from a storm water treatment facility. At our wildlife hospital, its cuts and bruises were treated and it had a good bath. When it recovers its strength and natural oils that make its fur water-resistant, it will be released in proper beaver habitat.
