Thanks @Elutris1 ! Feel immensely proud to have been able to share my first scientific poster at my first research conference with @BIAZA. Huge thanks to @ScienceatCZ for giving me the opportunity to do this and provide the first steps into what I hope will be a huge project!
We're delighted to welcome the newest arrival to our conservation zoo π
This little one is a BIG deal for the breeding programme - every single one of this threatened species is precious.

Great talk last night hosted by
@ZSLScience on the recovery of the Eurasian lynx & its possible reintroduction to Britain. Incredible line-up of speakers. Covered many topics, including lynx ecology, subpopulation genetics & the legal issues. Even got a signed book! #ZSLtalks
No words besides absolutely brilliant! @mslucycookeβs new book has made me question what I thought I knew about animal behaviour and evolution. A definite must-read!

Is, or should I say was, the thylacine cool? Yes. Do I think itβs βde-extinctionβ is feasible or needed given the cause of its extinction (human activity) is still prevalent and there are hundreds of other endangered species? Not really. https://t.co/y0a6SSXKbK
Great book by @DaveGoulson regarding his personal experiences with the natural world. Highlights the importance of wildlife conservation by detailing some of the inextricable links between species in an ecosystem. Also happens to mention a familiar uni professor...@j_chapman2!
Whilst this looks positive, improving healthcare access and quality in affected countries must also be overcome to guarantee widespread use and ultimately global health. https://t.co/23z3rrD5aN
Today, on #WorldLionDay, watch this video about how we are working to protect the last #lion in Gabon β and understanding which lions elsewhere in Africa may be suited for reintroduction into the Central African country:
If past pandemics including COVID-19 haven't highlighted the likelihood of ID outbreaks, maybe this will...? Any maybe, just maybe, it will promote better international collaboration...? π€https://t.co/vIUn7Kx6hO
Working with local communities living alongside wildlife is crucial for conservation, especially for large carnivores which often elicit fears of human or livestock attack. One key way is educating them on the important ecological roles of apex predators, like the tiger. οΏ½οΏ½
Itβs official! The Gov of Nepal have more than doubled wild tiger numbers. Great news for #tigers, and this means that support for communities living on the edge of forests is more important than ever: https://t.co/plsalALcMD
