At BIOPOLIS-CIBIO in Portugal, with Liz Campbell Atlas Golden Wolf Project and Geraldine Werhahn @HimalayanWolves, resolving #taxonomic issues related to #AfricanWolf #Himalayanwolf - IUCN Canid SG

1/ New paper on fostering and potential consolation of an injured juvenile #BarbaryMacaque & implications for macaques rescued from #illegaltrade: link.springer.com/article/10.100… THREAD: This little monkey is Pipo. He was hit by a car, seriously injured, and left behind by his group.

From months of watching these little fox cubs grow up, this video is one of our favourites: youtube.com/watch?v=7K1HXj…

Tazekka National Park in summer has plenty of damselflies and dragonflies for our team to admire while searching for wolves. This beautiful photo was taken by AGWP research assistant Haytem Bouchiri.

Fires in Algeria have burnt thousands of hectares of forest this year, killing Barbary macaques & other wildlife in the Tell Atlas. These endangered monkeys depend on forest & most of Algeria’s macaque population lives in the regions most affected by fires magornitho.org/2019/08/barbar…

Canids are incredibly diverse, yet a mated pair is the core of #canid society. Our new paper reviews monogamy in Canidae: social & genetic mating systems, their strange reproductive physiology & how monogamy may relate to canids’ success. #OpenAccess: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

We have just finished translating our nearly 200 interviews on #HumanWildlifeConflict! Huge thank you to research assistants Haytem & Asmae for their very hard work! We are now using these data to better understand conflict in the Middle Atlas Mountains and help develop solutions

This November was the two year anniversary of Haytem and Samantha here working as research assistants with the Atlas Golden Wolf Project! This winter they are back in the Middle Atlas Mountains to help survey populations of golden wolves, other carnivores, and prey.

#Fieldwork in the #AtlasMountains Probably not how you imagine African wildlife conservation research!
