“Glassfrogs conceal blood in their liver to maintain transparency” —SAY WOTTTT?! 🤯🤯🤯 Absolutely mind blowing science by Sonke Johnsen Lauren O'Connell & Co. doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

It has been 5 years since our former UN Environment Programme colleague #NiloufarBayani was imprisoned in #Iran. Taking note of pardons recently issued by Iranian authorities, I renew my plea for her release. Env. conservationists are critical to making #PeaceWithNature. bit.ly/3Xsazwk

The IUCN Species Survival Commission joins UNEP's plea for the release of Ms Bayani. Given recent pardons issued by Iranian authorities, we urge clemency and her safe return home, as well as IUCN Species Survival Commission members and fellow conservationists imprisoned in Iran.

Will Iran finally grant the conservationists their legal rights? anyhopefornature.net/2023/02/13/wil…
