Great map by NatGeoMaps shows that Leopards remain the most widespread big cats. This historic range however was way larger than the current one. #conservation #animals Nat Geo Education

Just published! Our joint ICCS Biogeography Berlin #OXBER project led to a piece in BiolCons on 14 principles for good practice in #participatory #conservation research involving Indigenous peoples & local communities OA for 50 days here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our latest study in Current Biology demonstrates that more effective management of recently-established #ProtectedAreas in Southeast Asia can double biodiversity and climate benefits. 1/8 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Talking about gibbons with students at Jirang Government Higher Secondary School in the Ri-Bhoi, Meghalaya. Jirang is home to village forests that support a remnant metapopulation of hoolock gibbons. But they are under threat and require concentrated attention for persistence.

An upbeat start to an exciting week of thinking about social-ecological systems! #PECS3

With other colleagues, we're compiling a list of tips to help beginners get started with Bayesian statistics. This list draws on advice we've gathered over the years from courses and workshops we've conducted for non-statisticians. What do you think? Are we missing anything?

What an honour to speak at PECS 3 with Berta Berta Martín López, Kate and Rafael Calderón. A huge thank you to Alta De Vos and ElenaBennett! And a shout out to my Conservation Initiatives family!

🐝#Pollinators are responsible for much more than food-crops. From biofuels to medicines, we rely on pollinators in much of our daily lives.🐝 Check out a few facts about pollinators from the ipbes #PollinationAssessment Read the Report here⤵️ ipbes.net/assessment-rep…

Nature's clean-up crew at work! The Asian water monitor lizard is a large, semi-aquatic lizard that feeds on a wide range of prey, and on animal carrion. One summer evening in Kaziranga, we came across this remarkable scene of a water monitor lizard feeding on a rhino carcass!

Secret of Canis lupus from Abi T Vanak “Conserving Indian wolves is relatively easy. They do not require dedicated wildlife sanctuaries or national parks. ….They are happy to simply exist in the background.”

#BookRelease #Kaziranga #Elephants 🧵 Just out! Our book, 'A Practitioner's Guide to Photographic Monitoring of Asian Elephants for Science and Conservation' was released yesterday at the re-opening of Kaziranga National Park for the tourism season 2024-25… [1/8]

A very important long term study with greater understanding of the gentle giants and ways to reduce human elephant conflict.

What better way to wake up to a refreshing tropical forest than with the call of the gibbon!

Celebrating the western hoolock gibbon and its conservationists this #internationalgibbonday! Our conservationists from Karbi Anglong, Assam, express their joy in sharing their home with gibbons, and appeal to everyone to help conserve this incredible primate. VC: Rohan Sharma

A fantastic opportunity to work with a brilliant scientist, a wonderful colleague, and a global thought leader in connectivity conservation and landscape ecology. I would apply in a heartbeat if mid-career scientists were eligible!

Are you interested in species interactions and how we model them? Then this thread is for you! Our new paper in Ecology on the role of abundance in species interactions provides new statistical tools for modelling species interactions (shorturl.at/Sqz9m).🧵(1/13)🧵

Alumnus Sanjeev Baniya's study finds that as winters warm, bats emerge more frequently from caves, especially in late winter & early spring. A key step toward long-term monitoring! #ClimateChange #BatConservation #Himalayas Maria Thaker Varun R Goswami 🐘 Vivek Ramachandran MSc Wildlife

#NewPublication Thrilled to share our publication in Science, A well-connected Earth, where we provide a roadmap for operationalising the restoration or protection of connectivity for targets of well-connected landscapes, for eg, for 30x30 CBD goals. doi.org/10.1126/scienc…
