Trump’s war on #climate science is pushing us into a dystopian future theconversation.com/trumps-war-o... #academicsky 🌏🧪

Happy National Wildlife Protection Day 26 December from Thailand. There are more captive elephants in Thailand than wild elephants (2500-3200 individuals). Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) cares for more than 20 captive elephants rescued from tourist camps and private zoos.

Why doesn’t environmental policy follow the best available science? Poor opinions of science advice, barriers to providing science advice and which country you live in affect whether science is taken seriously www.nature.com/articles/d41...

New assessment of global shipping collision risk for whales shows that fewer than 7% of risk hotspots have management measures in place. 🧪🌍🐳🦑 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

✨The Call for Abstracts for #ICCB2025 is now open!✨ We’re excited to invite conservationists, scientists, and practitioners from around the world to share their research and insights in Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia in June. Learn more: conbio.org/mini-sites/i... #conservation #MarineLife 🌍

Australia is the “world leader in extinction & environmental decline” where govt outsources nature repair to the private sector! Highlights the importance of restoring degraded landscapes/ removing cats/ foxes by #bushheritagefund #australianwildlifeconservancy theconversation.com/as-australia...

Celebrating an amazing week at #SMM2024 learning from >1500 conservation practitioners about threats to marine mammals; hunting prey depletion entanglement marine plastics vessel traffic contaminants disease & more. Delighted to share our #earthrangertech and #skylightmarine technologies

In September-October @EarthRangerTech delivered seven workshops to >500 conservation practitioners in 51 countries. Workshops were held for the first time in Asia (Cambodia & Singapore) also Kenya, Zambia, Panama, Costa Rica. Read more here earthranger.com/news #tech4wildlife

If you’re at the Society for Marine Mammal Conference in Perth www.smmconference.org come and say hi to us at the Allen AI booth. We are running demos and information sessions about EarthRanger and Skylight and AI for environment all week #SMM2024

Reflecting on an exciting week at #ACCB2024 @earthrangertech and College of African Wildlife Management Mweka organized a symposium to bring together conservation practitioners to present how they are using conservation tech for wildlife & fishery monitoring, human-wildlife conflict & PA management.

At #IMCC7 in Cape Town our #EarthRangerTech & #SkylightMarine team joined #SMARTCnsvTools to run a symposium on integrated conservation technology for improving #MPA management effectiveness. Case studies and lessons learnt from Congo, Belize, Zanzibar, Thailand @scbmarine.bsky.social

Opening of #IMCC7 by SCB Global Marine Program President Dr Shaili Johri with >800 scientists and marine conservation practitioner participants. Amazing work by the @scbmarine.bsky.social board

On #WorldBiodiversityDay celebrating the handover of a #SMARTcnsvtools training prgm to @MwekaWildlifeCg With support fr IWT Challenge Fund our training @WCS_Tanzania team has built capacity recruiting a cadre of instructors to teach SMART to Tz rangers & managers @SMARTCnsvTools

On #WorldTreekangarooDay let’s celebrate the amazing rangers protecting rainforest habitats and ensuring sustainable hunting and management for iconic wildlife across #globalstrongholds in #PNG @TKCPPNG #TreekangarooConservationProject @WCS #WildlifeConservationSociety

Proud to have played a part in building the @WCSCambodia Conservation Technology team who are now leading efforts to drive adoption of @SMARTCnsvTools @EarthRangerTech and other tools across protected / conserved areas and fishery management areas in Cambodia

The Cambodia Fisheries Administration have implemented a national SMART system for documenting and reporting IUU fishing in inland and marine waterways. Proud to join the technical handover event this week with our @WCS Cambodia conservation tech team supported by @SMARTCnsvTools @FAO

My first time birding in remote deciduous dipterocarp forests around >900 year old Angkorian temples w expert local guide Mott Peou. Fabulous day out in steaming 35 Celsius weather. Recorded >60 species in 7hrs! Great to support local Cambodian conservation organization Sam Veasna Conservation Tours

Putting conservation technology into the hands of those who need it most. I had the honour of introducing traditional owner & senior ranger Theresa Lemon from Malak Malak Ranger group to #SMARTcnsvtools. Using a smartphone & mobile app she can record patrols to manage the aboriginal land trust

Monitoring illegal fishing in Zanzibar’s marine conservation areas got easier this week with the introduction of #SMARTcnsvtools Rangers learnt to record human activity, marine wildlife and infrastructure using custom configured mobile packages on Android or IOS devices @thewcs

One glaring inequity that wasn’t adequately addressed at #COP28 .. finding space for wildlife on a planet with 4 billion head of livestock. Reduce eating meat will help!

If anyone was uncertain the implication of the key result from #COP28

“It might be cheaper for WA taxpayers if Cook and his cabinet simply took up jobs with Woodside, making the state run its offices rather than pretending there is any difference between fossil fuel interests and their political arm in Parliament.” www.crikey.com.au/2023/12/14/w...

"Woodside…has…green light to seismic blast in whale habitat, close to an endangered pygmy blue whale migration superhighway and UNESCO Ningaloo Reef” t.co/B4Yh0SKhBm

““People dying overseas without WA gas, premier says” And the official misinformation and disinformation continues to flow in torrents t.co/4Z4ftJbUYZ

In what alternative universe does @RogerCookMLA live in where rising emissions from polluting gas extractive mega projects are good for West Australians let alone the world? Consult your #chiefscientist more often about the #ClimateCrisis @ChiefSciWA

Inspired by WCS CEO and President Monica Medina who joined us for #ERUC23 to speak about Delivering conservation at Scale. Monica discussed the WCS approach to saving wildlife & wild places through focused field conservation efforts in natures strongholds & building capacity for conservation tech

Looking forward to celebrating this amazing milestone for the College of African Wildlife Management, Mweka Tanzania, a true centre of excellence for wildlife training in East Africa. Congratulations to all staff and students. Honored to be speaking at this event. See you soon! @thewcs

Delighted to speak alongside three women conservation practitioners working to integrate conservation tech tools for data management & decision making in Zambia, Cambodia & USA, and present about use of these tools in PNG for monitoring hunting & human landuse of forested landscapes #ERUC23 @thewcs

Shocking to find out the banks and financial institutions in AU EU US UK JP CH and CA including #fortune500 companies that are #investinginextinction making profits from sale of medicines containing leopards pangolins other #endangeredspecies and 88 TCM products eia-international.org/news/we-reve...

We r celebrating 2 mo since our 23 WCS, WWF & Panthera rangers fr Malaysia & Indonesia completed a 3 wk Coach Ranger Life Saver training with the fine trainers fr @lead_conservation Delighted to see our rangers applying Field Trauma Care & Practical Instruction. 1st training of its kind for Asia.

At Ikh Nart Nature Reserve in Mongolia’s South Gobi region rangers responsible for monitoring poaching & wildlife trade are using SMART conservation tools for recording and managing field observations. SMART is an information management tool to improve effectiveness of protected area management
