We had an excellent time at the British Ecological Society meeting in Edinburgh last week. So many great conversations! #bes2025

There’s a new paper from CWS’ turtle team! To help combat the illegal turtle trade, the team used chemical analyses to develop a statistical model for determining the probability that a confiscated turtle was poached from the wild. Great work! wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
