What did the beaver say to the tree? Why did Shakespeare hate hedgehogs so much? And why are 1 in 4 of Britain's mammals threatened with extinction? Amazon is featuring our book (kindle version) for 99p, so why not find out? #wildlife #conservation #humour amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0BGQM…

Very glad to see this. In Zambia many people are struggling to get water because drought has stopped their hydroelectricity-powered pumping stations. But coca cola in plastic bottles is everywhere! #climatechange #SocialJustice #plastics #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/environment/20…

Fly safely little bat! Next stop could well be Netherlands or Belgium. Another tag deployed on a female Nathusius' pipistrelle, tracking migration from England to breeding grounds in continental Europe.

Fun with Nathusius' pipistrelles last night. Tagged 12 at Minsmere (two of them flew to Lowestoft) with Norfolk BG. Hope the bats will dodge the wind turbines and soon be detected on #Motus stations in Netherlands, Belgium or Germany! #bats #wildlife

This made me laugh Landguard Bird Obs! I want one for bats! 🤣

Office for the day! Working on #Motus radiotracking system for #bats and #birds Landguard Bird Obs. Wonder who we are going to detect migrating?

Our Sunday double-bill with @devonwildlife discussing wildcat reintroduction and #conservation of water voles, beavers and pine martens. Great to meet >50 wildlife wardens doing great stuff in Teignbridge. Tim Kendall Oneworld Publications Devon Local Nature Partnership Derek Gow Mammal Society

It's always sunny Seaton parkrun ❤️

New overview shows conservation interventions can and do work. 🥳Hopefully, +ve news will encourage investment to reverse the #biodiversity crisis.
BUT urgent action needed on woeful lack of funding/research in Global South where there is most to lose! bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

You never know when there will be an elephant just round the corner! (The baby must be at least 2 years old as before that it fits under its mum's tum). 🐘🐘 Sussex Life Sciences undergraduate and masters field course

A selection of frogs my students found at Kasanka National Park, Zambia, this week. Not just in wetlands, but in woodland, on our camp fridge and even under a pile of elephant dung (the fat one, which is a species of piglet frog). #frogs #wildlife #conservation Sussex Life Sciences

Looking forward to my first trip to the Cheltenham Festivals Cheltenham Festival of Science.

Great interview with a livestock farmer about coexisting with Wolf in the area of western Europe that has the highest density of wolves. It shows it can be done, but many prefer the drama of anger & persecution... newtral.es/fernando-rodri… #Wolf #Nature Prof. Katie Hinde Fiona Mathews

SO excited to share this news!!

Glad to be celebrating 2 years since Mammal Conservation Europe was founded, and 4.5 years since we first met to discuss the idea of it!

The Netherlands has more breeding wolf packs than Norway! The wolf's amazing recolonisation of Europe, and its entanglement in politics and culture wars, is being discussed now by John Linnell at our 1st annual meeting. #wolves #wildlife #hunting #nature Rewilding Europe
