Congratulations to Alice Bernard on this awesome publication! 🤩 Using camera traps and local ecological knowledge, Alice's study investigated how life-history traits are associated with the persistence of mammal species in human-dominated habitats in the Garden Route! 📸🐾

Excited to be attending the inaugural Snare Mitigation Symposium hosted by Cape Leopard Trust (CLT) Tomorrow I'll be presenting our work (Cornelia Warrer @elodiebriefer Damaris Riedner) using citizen science data to identify snare hotspots in Kruger NP 🦁🐆🐾

It was great to have Nic Elliot from Lion Recovery Fund and Arjun Gopalaswamy join us in Kruger to share their insights and advice while we finish up our lion survey of southern Kruger! 🦁🐾 A couple of weeks left on our survey and some great data coming in! 🦁📸

We're really looking forward to FatBear joining us in 🇿🇦 for the next ten days! Exciting research and teaching coming up! 🤩

Read the Journal of Applied Ecology blog on Alice Bernard recent paper investigating how life-history traits are associated with the persistence of mammal species in human-dominated habitats in the Garden Route! 📸🐾🇿🇦

🎉 Proud to see my photo of Chacma baboon on the cover of October issue 🎉

It's been fantastic having Julien here and our students have learnt so much! 🤩 Thanks for braving the infamous cold and wet George weather for it FatBear! 😂🌧️🥶

Wildlife Ecology Lab are on their way to #SAWMA2024 in Namibia! 🇳🇦 1,000km+ yesterday and camping on the Orange River before crossing the border into Namibia today! 🇳🇦 Arriving in Windhoek tomorrow! 🤩🇿🇦🇳🇦

Day 1 of #SAWMA2024 in Namibia. I'll be talking about spotted hyaena movement at different scales in fenced reserves in South Africa, on Wednesday. Looking forward to connecting throughout the event!

Today I was fortunate enough to present some findings from my PhD project at #SAWMA2024 in Windhoek, Namibia! Looking forward to the rest of the conference and the interesting discussions to come.

Exchanging knowledge on indigenous forest ecology between South Africa and Sweden. Of course, very different systems, but many overlaps as well and opportunities for collaborations. Exciting times! Mandela University SLU SLU Wild Research Mandela University Faculty of Science

#AfriMove workshop on the go in Windhoek, Namibia. Some great projects happening and exciting opportunities! Great way to end off #SAWMA2024 SAWMA Wildlife Ecology Lab

We had an amazing week at the SAWMA conference 2024 in Windhoek! 🇳🇦🦓 From the road trip up to Windhoek (via Sossusvlei), to an excellent and jam packed conference excellently hosted by @Save_Giraffe 🦒, the whole week was a blast! 🤩 Some great lab presentations too!

Wow! 🤩 Some of our lucky students got to go on this incredible trip to the Skeleton Coast!
