Zoo Science! 🔬

New research shows that wild animals can be tracked through airborne DNA. 🧬 Researchers identified 49 vertebrate species across a range of taxonomic orders and families by looking for DNA in air samples collected @CopenhagenZoo

Sums it up perfectly #TooManyWomen #notallmenbutallwomen #SarahEverard

No one is calling all men abusers, violent or creeps. Women are asking men to join us in changing a deep rooted culture that has us looking over our shoulders (day and night), expects us to put up with harassment or threats, and expects us not to talk about it. #SarahEverard

For all those saying "Women shouldn't walk alone" Women should have the freedom to walk wherever we want whenever we want Sadly we know this isn't possible

In England, zoos will still be closed by the time the £94m unspent Gov support for zoos vanishes. This must be replaced with a Zoo Recovery Fund.

It can take months/years to rehome animals, zoos aquariums & safari parks need clarity now #YourZoosNeedYou

We're kicking off February by sharing some reptile breeding success news... 🦎🤩

At the end of 2020, five teeny Chinese crocodile lizards were born at the zoo! The species is endangered and experts believe that there may be less than 1000 of these lizards left in the wild today.

Almost five years of studying the deep Atlantic in unprecedented detail has revealed 12 species new to science. @BBCNews reports. https://t.co/w6G8NE9WwV

While my heart breaks for America, I believe good will triumph over evil. It has to. Shine your light, and stay strong. Love will prevail.

The recovery of 26 species in the latest @IUCNRedList demonstrates the power of conservation but efforts need urgent expansion https://t.co/TM27IIb59X #ConservationWorks
