Meet Siri-a Lissemys punctata turtle rescued from illegal wildlife trade in Bangladesh by us. Once abundant, these vulnerable turtles are now rare due to overexploitation. After a safe rescue, Siri was released back into the wild #SaveChelonians #SaveWildlife

NZ Post has released a new series of stamps featuring native pollinators. I don't think most NZers appreciate that the common bees and bumblebees we see are introduced. The stamps all feature insects, but the 1st Day Cover depicts a native bat also. #stamps

Its alarming!!!!!

Expansion of aquaculture threatens the existence of wetlands in Bangladesh.

Now published in the Journal of Environmental Management! We evaluated, for the first time, the effects of the translocated pondweed Monochoria hastata on fish and rice production in two wetland habitats. @DurUni_Aqua_Lab @JingruiS @MobassherH24348

[Anthony Ricciardi @EcoInvasions]

The most important study I've done in my career (25 yrs ago) revealed that freshwater animals were disappearing 5X faster than land animals in N. America -a loss rate similar to tropical rainforests. I was naive enough to think this finding would change the focus of conservation.

They captured visual evidence of a critically endangered bird not seen alive since the 19th century. The genuine passion & joy they feel from this discovery is exactly why many of us become scientists.

Drought pools are a double edge sword of refugia for vulnerable barbs and minnows but also allow bass to persist in others.
