On #worldwildlifeday I challenge us all to more openly discuss the realities & injustices of mainstream #conservation today. To protect wildlife, we need to take care of each other. We need to voice these challenging truths & destroy the system that prevents that - everywhere.

Looking for someone interested to help edit & review research (PhD)/publications on the ecological distribution & conservation of #gazelles (Soemmerrings/Dorcas/Eritrean gazelle) in #Eritrea with a dear friend and colleague. If that's you, or someone you know, please let me know!

Are you intrigued by the new National Red List Website? Sophie Ledger will be discussing the website ahead of its official relaunch. Join the discussion on Wednesday, October 19th on our next #ReverseTheRed Webinar bit.ly/3rvu3CL

A huge undertaking! Congratulations to all involved for producing such a high quality body of work. #LivingPlanetReport

UN Biodiversity’s #COP15 is a unique opportunity to put #NatureAtHeart of global policy. ZSL is calling on leaders to commit to strong goals & targets, & to incorporate #LivingPlanetReport's #LivingPlanetIndex as a headline indicator, to help reverse biodiversity loss.

Thanks Elephant Protection Initiative team. Of course I couldn't forget the elephants🐘! They even made it into the main report as an example of a species with a huge influence on carbon storage processes rewildingeurope.com/wildlife-comeb…

Previously persecuted species can recover - large carnivores included. For more details & for other species showing a comeback in Europe inc birds of prey, please check out the main report here: rewildingeurope.com/wildlife-comeb… @RewildingEurope BirdLife Europe & Central Asia European Bird Census Council ZSL Science

Do you find yourself asking these questions: 🤔 💭What does the #LivingPlanetIndex mean and what goes into making it? 🌍 Is everything across the world showing the same rates of decline?! 📉📈Etc. Well look no further for a lovely summary video 😃👍 + great leafy backdrop 🍃
