The #covid 19 crisis gives us an opportunity to rethink how we function as society, and how we do conservation. Our new report led by Isla hodgson points to how we can do this for human wildlife conflict & co-existence. luchoffmanninstitute.org/wp-content/upl…
Great work and persistence on this paper Alex Braczkowski!
You are very fortunate to have been in the field filming the first wild reintroduction of seized pangolins Alex! Dan Challender
1/6 #SSWGTC20 SCB Social Science Working Group Wildlife has been linked to the outbreak of #COVID19 🐾😷 This has led to calls on social media for changes in how #wildlifetrade is managed How has this link between #wildlife and #COVID__19 changed the #twitter discourse on wildlife trade? 🧐

For comparison to the Aspinall Foundation's appeal for £1 million to 'rewild' 13 elephants, here is Ruaha Big Cats 2019 costs. Spent ~1/3 as much, but benefited >40,000 people, reduced conflict & improved conservation in a critical area. Conservation should not be a PR exercise.
Still thinking of where to go for conservation tourism in Africa this festive season? Our piece in the conversation led by Alex Braczkowski on great options as our home continent tries to recover from over 20 months of the brutal impact of the pandemic. theconversation.com/from-chads-ele…
