I’m so proud of this new project! (Yes I’m the headless person holding the badger, anaesthetised under licence)

Fellow Mammalogists.

As many of you are aware, science is in a state of turmoil in the United States. Recent efforts to drastically reduce government workforces and research funding for science will lead to many adverse consequences for Earth’s remaining natural ecosystems.

Sad to only now find out about this. Our team has modelled the (scary) projected impact of climate change on African wild dogs, a CMS-listed species

40+ experts gathered in Edinburgh for a CMS-hosted Migratory Species & #ClimateChange Workshop. 🌡️ 🦈

Participants are identifying migratory species most at risk, discussing shifting migration routes, and exploring how migratory species support mitigation and adaptation: www.cms.int/en/meeting/m...
