Two closely related #Snapper species show differences in occurrence across #Reef flats and reef slopes. Snapper which inhabit reef flats have greater #ThermalPlasticity and #Physiological #Tolerance than species found on reef slopes.

An inspiring evening exploring the connections between the health of people, nature and the planet 🌍💚

From global zoonotic disease prevention to the human-induced impacts of chemical pollution on marine mammals, our latest @ZSLScience Wild Talks event was a powerful reminder that wildlife health isn’t separate from human health. As a leader in wildlife health research, at ZSL, we work to understand the profound implications of the interconnectedness of humans, animals and ecosystems.

Our panel of speakers explored how scientific research and real-world action are helping to safeguard the future of our planet by recognising these vital connections, discussing topics from building early warning systems for future pandemics, to engaging and training the next generation of wildlife veterinarians and conservationists.

As said by the evening’s host @DoctorChrisVT “I'm very persuaded that the mandate for action comes from people like the people in this room. I can't think of a better place to locate action than ZSL and the amazing work that we've heard about”

A huge thank you to Professor Chris van Tulleken for hosting such a thought-provoking discussion, and to speakers Dr Javier Sánchez Romano and Dr Rosie Williams from our Institute of Zoology, and Cat Hickey from our Conservation Education team, for sharing their expertise and insights on the importance of a One Health approach.

Back in December, a turtle from @ZSLScience made the cover of TIME magazine.

Named one of TIME's Top 100 Photographs of 2025, the image captures our scientists trialling forensic fingerprinting on wildlife trade seizures - helping catch the criminals behind it.

200 years of science. Still breaking new ground.

The European eel is a truly fascinating creature, spending its life in freshwater rivers, streams, and even ponds, before turning silvery blue and swimming all the way to Bermuda’s Sargasso Sea to breed.

Eels are disappearing fast. Join Joe Pecorelli of the Zoological Society of London and me on Rewilding the World to hear about amazing eels and what can be done to restore them to their former abundance.

Out now wherever you get your podcasts.

Today ZSL turns 200!

We're celebrating our incredible, rich history – two brilliant centuries of learning, science, conservation and sharing the wonder of wildlife with millions. Here's to the next 200 years.

And today we're taking the next step - announcing plans for a brand-new £20m wildlife health centre, the first in the UK to give people a window onto live vet procedures.
