We have a new paper out by Adélie Destercke from her MSc work on interspecific competition between carnivores at large carcasses. Feel free to have a look: https://t.co/BUNcUCs51d
@SunShine879013@NSPCA_SA We also need to consider the consequences of not fencing in wildlife. Human wildlife conflict is a very real issue, in unfenced as well as fenced areas. And it poses threats to humans as well as wildlife. These issues are very complex.
An immediate death is not the worst outcome for an animal, but prolonged suffering leading to death is a tragedy. We are keeping overpopulated animals alive merely to ease the public conscience, only for them to succumb to starvation. https://t.co/4SPbshsfWd
We had an amazing week at the @SAWMA_wildlife conference 2024 in Windhoek! 🇳🇦🦓
From the road trip up to Windhoek (via Sossusvlei), to an excellent and jam packed conference excellently hosted by @Save_Giraffe 🦒, the whole week was a blast! 🤩 Some great lab presentations too!
Today I was fortunate enough to present some findings from my PhD project at #SAWMA2024 in Windhoek, Namibia! Looking forward to the rest of the conference and the interesting discussions to come.
Read the @JAppliedEcology blog on @alice_bernard14 recent paper investigating how life-history traits are associated with the persistence of mammal species in human-dominated habitats in the Garden Route! 📸🐾🇿🇦
Young conservation scientists - tell @ConservOptimism what makes you optimistic https://t.co/h9bk1srwCA, and join a chorus of voices from around the world, on how we can make the world a better place through coming together with #ConservationOptimism!

It was an informative poster session with a lot of interesting information from various projects! My poster on the effects of hyaena activity hotspots will be up until tomorrow, so feel free to have a look if you are still around!
@JanBuffel#ORC2023#ORGC
Today at the #ORC2023 I will be presenting a poster on the work I've been doing to determine the effects of spotted hyaena dens on smaller predator and small mammal species. I hope to see you there!

Very exciting start to the 12th Oppenheimer Research Conference with a welcome from Dame Jane Goodhall and a keynote address by Minister Naledi Pandor #ORC23
Also, how lovely are these complementary lanyards😍🇿🇦
Lots of the @WildEcoLabNMU just arrived at @SANParks Golden Gate NP for the @SAWMA_wildlife conference 2023! What a stunning park to host a conference! 🤩
Stay tuned for more from our lab speakers at the conference over the next few days! 🇿🇦🦁🦓🐒🐺
