In China’s Yangtze River, the finless porpoise population is rising: the latest count puts it at 1,426 in 2025, up 177 since 2022. Scientists link the recovery to the ten year fishing ban that began in 2021, alongside tighter habitat protection and monitoring. buff.ly/hzREApS

Designed for wildcats 🐾

Produced by experts specifically for wildcats, lightweight GPS-radio collars are vital for post-release monitoring 📡

When the battery runs out, the team try to remove or replace the collar. Eventually the weak link (pictured) typically wears thin until it falls off.

China’s Yangtze is on the way to being a multi-porpoise river again. This finless form of the cetacean has leapt to a population of 1,426 - up from 177 in 2022. Scientists link the recovery to a fishing ban since 2021 and tighter habitat protection and monitoring.

There’s more ROC Tunstall work on my website (link in bio).

This whole article is like a "Black Mirror" episode, but the paragraph below blew my mind. Unless they're already monitoring your devices, how would you possibly be able to provide this information?

This is why long-term monitoring is important! Researchers at @oceanseaicenpi.bsky.social found that the body condition of polar bears 🐻‍❄️ actually improved in the past 25 years! Polar bears are very dependent on sea ice 🧊 to find their prey, which has been declining.

Ah I see. Yep monitoring is only useful when properly embedded in the conservation work and when communities (as in the link above ☝️), managers, everyone involved, is invested in it, and it has a very clear purpose in project design. Monitoring (and especially AI 😏) is not useful in and of itself.

They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law.
The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.
