Planet Doctor -- Doing the best I can for the Earth with my one wild and precious life.

[Ben Goldfarb @ben_a_goldfarb]

Just gave a beaver talk to a Trout Unlimited chapter & marveled at how times have changed. When I preached about beavs to fish-centric audiences in 2018, the reaction was often hostility; now anglers wanna tell me about the huge brookies they haul from beaver ponds. Progress!

Check out this @WildKingdom episode: “Crossing Cougar Country”! One thing unites big cats ranging from the Florida swamps to the Hollywood Hills; urban development threatens their livelihood by bisecting their habitat & causing wildlife-vehicle collisions.

"Spatial planning isn't some guy in a back room doing data, it's people getting together and having a conversation" - Gary Tabor @wildcatalyst from @Largelandscapes. Great to have the Chair of the @IUCN_WCPA Connectivity Conservation Specialist Group here at @CCI_Cambridge today.

Our president, Gary Tabor, was invited by the Conservators of @Ashdown_Forest in East Sussex, England (which inspired the idyllic home of Winnie-the-Pooh!) to visit the landscape and speak about the importance of ecological connectivity and wildlife corridors.

Our new empirical study published in @Nature shows that rapid changes in bat ecology and behavior – driven by habitat loss and climate variability – drove the emergence of Hendra virus, a fatal pathogen in horses and humans.

“Connectivity matters, nature knows no borders,” - thank you @wildcatalyst for the brilliant overview into connectivity and how it’s critical to conservation and for animals and people to thrive into the future #GERConnect22

[Gondwana Link @GondwanaL]

Quote of the Conference at #GERConnect22 'Your science is world leading but your policy is shit'. That's from @wildcatalyst, Gary Tabor - Exec. Director of the Centre for Large Landscape Conservation in Montana, regarding our plight here in Australia. Bugger, I think he's right
