Advancing Wildlife Health in Conservation Translocations Join us today for a seminar on a scalable framework for monitoring wildlife health, piloted in Eastern Black Rhinos in Kenya. 🔗 bookwhen.com/oxfordbiodiv... #Conservation #WildlifeHealth #OneHealth #Rhinos @ecioxford.bsky.social

We're celebrating #worldsoilday by sharing a fascinating talk @edithhammer.bsky.social gave us last year. Soil chips = windows into the underground 🌍Predators, microbes, nutrient cycling — all in one tiny world. Let’s celebrate soil life! 🌱 @ecioxford.bsky.social

🧵71% of UK land is farmland — so nature recovery must start in our fields. @jedsol.bsky.social is researching how regenerative farming supports soil life + how measuring energy could help us measure change for nature recovery in underground ecosystems. #worldsoilday

🌍🔊 This #WorldSoilDay, we’re tuning in to the hidden sounds beneath our feet. From earthworm rustles to underground clicks, the soil soundscape tells a powerful story about ecosystem health. 🎧 Here more ⬇️ @ecioxford.bsky.social @oxfordgeography.bsky.social @ellabrowning.bsky.social

Sound is a core part of an ecosystem, carrying clues about how healthy the environment is. A thriving forest's a chorus of birdsong, while underground, healthy soil is alive with scratches, scrapes, & clicks. Celebrate #WorldSoilDay with @ellabrowning.bsky.social & listen to her recording of worms

Join us for a fascinating talk on improving health & welfare in translocations, featuring real-world work with eastern black rhinos. Exploring health monitoring tools, smarter data, & how wildlife vets, ecologists & managers can boost species recovery. Register oxfordbiodiversitynetwork.bookwhen.com

In Friday's Nature talk Francesca Vitali will discuss saving #rhinos & protecting ecosystems! Her pilot health monitoring in Kenya aims to make translocations smarter, safer, & more effective—boosting species recovery, ecosystem resilience & One Health.🦏 oxfordbiodiversitynetwork.bookwhen.com

📢NEW PODCAST: Prof. Cristina Banks-Leite explores the realities of tropical forest restoration—from challenges like seedlings, land tenure & finance to why “success” can seem counter-intuitive. She highlights how better biodiversity metrics, acoustic monitoring & AI can reshape ecosystem recovery.

Two months ago, we met in an ancient woodland as drought broke into autumn storms to ask: How do we redesign finance for the living world? Through nature, play & systems thinking, new seed ideas emerged. Our short film offers a glimpse—step in & tell us what resonates.
