RT-ing myself to highlight the PDF link, since my original link is faulty. Enjoy!: https://t.co/nqdzpN8KfZ

Scientists have worried that the end of bear farming in Vietnam will lead to unsustainable pressure on wild bear populations, but here we show that is likely NOT going to happen! https://t.co/1H8Ni7IzJ4 Why, you ask? Read on!

@julieklausner I thought you might enjoy my landlord honoring you as "a Julie" (ps I LOVE my new tank top!)

[Elizabeth Davis eodavis.bsky.social @__EODavis]

@pouryawildlife That's an idea! I'm a little worried Chat GPT might go off the rails with the advice offered, though...!

Happy to report that possibly for the first time ever I successfully used R Help rather than Google to figure my R problem out 🥳#rstats

If you don't want to read the full article (understandable), here's a lovely and relatively brief write-up from Spoorthy Raman, over at Mongabay: https://t.co/MWo7dULuqf

First time I've been called Oneita Davis, and I'm not hating it!

Jokes aside, check our paper out- if only to ooh and aah over my COVID graph:

What were the perceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on communities and wildlife trade?🐾 Oneita Davis et al shared their preliminary qualitative analysis from hunters in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Read more at https://t.co/QDkQCTktw5

@JudithRakowski @meredithgore @olliewearn That sounds great, Meredith and Judith! We will be there in April doing some FGDs to ground truth the interview results with the hunters as well as women in the community. We would definitely welcome your comments, input, and research goals in the FGD guide we create!

Our new paper on COVID-19 and wildlife trade is out! https://t.co/2bmfT2fJfT. Key takeaways are that the effects of the pandemic varied in rural communities across KH, LA, and VN, but overall a negative economic impact was felt with effects on hunting and trade.

@olliewearn @meredithgore Oh cool! I didn't know that FFI and Meredith had collaborated for that work in Nghe An! Good to know! And that's a great diversity of sites! I would be very interested to know any generalizations and also spatially-specific trends between them!

[Elizabeth Davis eodavis.bsky.social @__EODavis]

@olliewearn It would be very cool to present a robust picture of these interactions/patterns from across a bigger area of VN- &yes, I'm surprised we haven't overlapped either! SDZWA's collaboration has been pretty focused in Nghe An, but I'm always keen to learn more about other areas in VN

[Elizabeth Davis eodavis.bsky.social @__EODavis]

@olliewearn That's interesting to hear you've seen similar trends elsewhere in Vietnam! I'd be curious to hear more- we are actually planning a VN-focused paper with results from our full hunter survey (also from Bidoup). If you'd be interested in pooling data/knowledge, let me know!

[Elizabeth Davis eodavis.bsky.social @__EODavis]

And finally, thank you to the @sandiegozoo for supporting #IWT work! I'm very lucky to be able to spend my time focusing on such an important topic, and I am always grateful to SDZWA for providing that space and opportunity.

[Elizabeth Davis eodavis.bsky.social @__EODavis]

Of course, this work couldn't have happened without @Thonalim1 and @roth_vichet's efforts to build trust in Cambodia, Prof's Trung's community work in Vietnam, M. Castaneda's analysis, @BrianCrudge coordinating the project, and @JAGlikman providing support and advice throughout!

@EmmaVitz I also hate the "must be willing to travel the world with me half the year". NO. I am old and tired, let me rest.

How Will the End of Bear Bile Farming in Vietnam Influence Consumer Choice?

Turns out this was the most viewed @ConservandSoc article for 2022! Kudos to @__EODavis @JAGlikman @BrianCrudge

Another day, another article I'm reviewing where women were actively excluded from the data collection process, despite a research aim of "understanding the community". It should be obvious that this is foolish & counterproductive to informing successful conservation initiatives
