Climate change is Driving Gun Violence in East Africa's Disputed Ilemi Triangle
Locals in the disputed and increasingly resource-starved East African region are taking tentative steps to embrace climate-smart agriculture. But that requires reckoning with their way of life. This s...

Green sea turtles are making a comeback, IUCN says 'no longer endangered' though some subpopulations are still in trouble, news.mongabay.com/short-articl...
They're not rare in the Galapagos where I made this image (saw up to 4 at once!) but E. Pacific pop is still 'vulnerable'

We've been cited as 3rd in the world (and 1st in the UK!) for publishing sea turtle publications!
A recent, global review in Ocean and Coastal Management has cited @exeter.ac.uk as a top institution for publishing research on sea turtles conservation.

If there was a wrong species to pop up when you are expecting a green turtle, vulture guinea fowl isn’t a bad one!!!
Very cool research out of @exetermarine.bsky.social! "Individual plasticity in response to rising sea temperatures contributes to an advancement in green turtle nesting phenology" i.e. the turtles are nesting earlier due in part to rising SST 🧪🐢🌍

Fresh off the road from an extraordinary 2 week Kenya fieldtrip where we saw more species of animals in the wild than I've seen in the past 5-10 years altogether. Some incredibly valuable conservation lessons learnt and amazing memories made! Asante sana to everyone involved! #Kenya #conservation
