Just wrapped another successful science communication workshop for transport ecologists at #ANET2023 in New Zealand with @rodvdr.

After, we had a great discussion about how to deal with negative engagement and "pile-ons" when communicating controversial science.

An estimated 9 million dead mammals every year in Brazil alone.

The @IUCNRedList does not consider roadkill a threat to most mammals. However, “roadkill is having a greater impact on wildlife survival than previously thought,” says Dr Fernando Pinto.

@MagpiejonesD shares lessons learned from $500mil upgrade protecting Aus native animals:

Effective and transparent engagement with community groups is essential.

While political interference can undermine even the most successful project.
