Narrative NF based on actual events of a rescued baby elephant in Cambodia which was suffering from a foot injury. Love engaging illustrations of dedicated staff caring for Chhouk’s injured foot. 5⭐️ @LaurelNeme @ariellandyart @WildlifeRescue @DISD_Libraries #NFfriday #bookaday

Let's use that passion to engage kids across the curriculum w/these #LitLinks activities

Here's another great piece about the #elephant names study by @ste_kenya @elephantvoices @GeorgeWittemyer @MickeyPardo that I wrote about for @NatGeo

[Save the Elephants @ste_kenya]

How did researchers from Save the Elephants, @ColoradoStateU and @elephantvoices figure out that elephants have names for each other?

🎥 Watch this film to find out how they cracked the code: https://t.co/ngeemLcdNC

[Save the Elephants @ste_kenya]

African elephants have names for each other, much like humans, according to a new study by @ste_kenya, @ColoradoStateU, and @ElephantVoices. Published in @NatureEcoEvo, the study sheds light on animal cognition and language evolution.

Super interesting! My latest piece for @NatGeo on new research that shows that elephant likely call each other by name. Opens up a door into the mind and cognition of #elephants. @ste_kenya @elephantvoices @GeorgeWittemyer @MickeyPardo https://t.co/abwqDbb0oK

Say what? @LaurelNeme did an excellent job explaining the nuance of elephant communication in this story. A must-read! https://t.co/sPTlPyC9TQ @NatGeo #elephants

“This punishment won’t bring back the poached rhinos, but it sends a strong message and should act as a deterrent to anyone considering wildlife crime in Indonesia." https://t.co/xEN3NXR9xT

[Laurel Neme @LaurelNeme]

Do elephants bury their dead calves? Five young Asian elephants were found mostly covered in tea plantation ditches in India’s Bengal region. But some experts question if they’re evidence of true burial practices. My latest for @NatGeo @cdellamore

Excellent article by @jeremy_hance for @mongabay on dire situation facing Javan #rhinos https://t.co/kXLe7kFNNV

[Dina Fine Maron @Dina_Maron]

No story's ever done. The South African police officer leading plant poaching investigations has been arrested for alleged crimes including corruption, something I caught wind of several yrs ago when reporting the story and police denied. THREAD https://t.co/AtI6WQG9tZ

[Laurel Neme @LaurelNeme]

Great article on the sail in @Revelator_News by @jeremy_hance

[Jeremy Hance @jeremy_hance]

You can now read my story on the saola on @Revelator_News. Is the Asian unicorn extinct? Can we save it?

As we speak a team is working in some of the toughest terrain on Earth to find out!

Excellent article! @kileyjprice @NatGeo

[Christine Dell'Amore @cdellamore]

This story inspired me to finally download the Merlin app—though I'm aware it's not always totally accurate. Read @kileyjprice's excellent deep dive into how AI is informing bird apps—and helping conserve avians! @NatGeo

1) #WorldWildlifeDay2024 celebration has kicked off at the United Nations by @CITES Secretary General, centering on digital innovations. AI is being used in multiple ways such as helping frontline conservation organizations process massive amount of data. This would be very helpful for @pasaprimates members who have anti-poaching and bio-monitoring activities.
