NEW paper #HumanDimensions

NEW paper. Many of us love #cats. There is just this one aspect of their behavior, or actually the consequences of this behavior, that we should not be facilitating. It turns out that not only birds but also #bats fall victim. A review of the evidence.

A popular article that provides some of the context surrounding the #humanelephant conflict in Namibia, which the government tried to solve by offering 170 #elephants on auction at the end of last year. conservationnamibia.com/blog/b2021-ele… #ConservationNamibia

"Officials said nearly 90% of hunters used dogs to chase down the animals, & that fresh snow helped them track the wolves. Since the hunt occurred during breeding season, pregnant females were almost certainly among the dead. Forty-six percent of the animals killed were female"

A wonderful application of behavioral insights to #conservation! The authors show that providing mammalian predators with sensory misinformation (avian odor cues) can reduce their impact on vulnerable #bird populations as effectively as lethal control. advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/11/e…

We need to take #conservation to scale in order to #restorenature, but how to do it? Learning lessons from largescale #development interventions might help. New paper led by Henry Travers & funded by @oxford_GCRF shows how (free link: authors.elsevier.com/c/1cwIp1R~eL7lW)

New paper with Vucetich et al. considers how the intrinsic value of nature could be incorporated into a less anthropocentric economic framework with benefits to biodiversity conservation doi.org/10.1093/biosci…

An Animal Rights (AR) and Animal Welfare (AW) thread. Discussions on Twitter between conservationists and people who call themselves Animal Rights Activists (ARAs) can sometimes be confusing when both AR and AW are involved. 1/

Slight rant on World Lion Day! As field conservationists, we have to recognise many complex realities. We also understand how crucial & central local communities are for #lion #conservation. I sometimes forget just how disconnected many people are from those realities (1/7)

We added 13 publications to our Human-Wildlife Conflict and Coexistence Library in December, covering the effectiveness of community-based livestock protection strategies, to prioritisation of public outreach and management during carnivore recolonisation. hwctf.org/december-2021
