It's been a long journey, and at the same time it's only the start. Join us for the launch of the Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration Atlas! Proud founding member here 😊 CNRS Écologie & Environnement CEFE: Centre d’Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive , and proud of the whole team, under the great leadership of Matthew Kauffman

What a fantastic example of how tracking data can be translated to useful and easy-to-understand data products that can help inform conservation. Launch webinar ongoing now! Inspiring stuff.

Story about the new Atlas of Ungulate Migration in News from Science today! science.org/content/articl…

Ungulates such as mule deer, wildebeest, and caribou migrate seasonally, but these migrations are threatened by habitat loss and barriers to movement. Department of State, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, NOAA Fisheries, USGS and U.S. EPA are working with partners to protect these critical movements.

Happy to see GIUM finally reaching the stage of launching the Atlas. For now - only a subset of what is coming. Congrats to Matthew Kauffman for his persistence, & to Steffen Mumme for his amazing efforts with mapping (& many others!) science.org/content/articl…

The population of Saiga antelope, almost extinct 20 years ago, is now estimated at 1.9+million. Two decades of coordinated conservation work, including efforts to #EndWildlifeTrafficking, brought Kazakhstan’s native Saiga back from the brink of extinction. fws.gov/story/saiga-an…

Takins are native to the high-altitude regions of the Hengduan and Himalaya mountain ranges. All 4 subspecies are found in China. The #takin prefers to inhabit cold, high-altitude areas above 2,500 meters and migrates vertically with changes in season and temperature.
