At 100, David Attenborough’s legacy reflects our shifting bond with nature. What began as wonder in the 1950s has become a sober assessment of our planet’s trajectory. Understanding nature is no longer just curiosity; it is our responsibility. Read this "Founder's briefs." 👉️ mongabay.cc/AtnBro

I’m not a fan of the new AI feature in the @posit.co RStudio beta.

So many multifaceted issues, yet this is overlooked. I, for one, don’t yet logically understand the biological reasoning behind the Cheetah Project, but am optimistic about the umbrella effect it will have on grassland species, especially the Indian wolf. wolf.org/wolf-info/in...

🚨Exciting news for Mexican gray wolves! For the first time in decades, a radio-collared wolf has dispersed from the United States into Mexico. The wolf, named "Cedar", is an adult male who recently traveled through the last unfenced stretch of southern New Mexico. Read more: https://bit.ly/4nmIkhz

One of the challenges to red wolf recovery is misinformation, especially the belief that people don’t want them back. But new research tells a different story: people living where red wolves once roamed support their return and recognize their ecological and societal value. Read more: bit.ly/3JoPlyF

38 years ago, Red Wolf howls returned to NC when 8 captive-born wolves were released. Since then, more have followed, including Red Wolf Deven from the WCC in 2021. This #RedWolfWeek we honor their journey and look ahead to more releases and a future where they thrive. 🔗 nywolf.org/red-wolf-wee...

Last week I had this amazing opportunity to attend a seminar and learn about the importance, both ecological and economical, of conserving longleaf forests—delivered by Lisa Lord from Longleaf Alliance.

Happy to share new work from the lab and a wonderful group of co-authors: We argue that conservation biology needs to move beyond the current focus on species richness metrics. While this has been argued before, we highlight the unappreciated impacts of using richness for a variety of problems:

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social] In 2019 the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) faced allegations that park rangers it supported had committed serious human rights abuses. The ensuing scandal did more than tarnish the organization’s reputation. It forced a reckoning.

At the Musekese Conservation research station in Zambia, trainee field ecologist Chisomo M’hango analyzes camera trap images of leopards, lions and wild dogs. M’hango says lion numbers are starting to rise, signaling renewed efforts to prevent poaching in the park is bearing fruit.

When it gets really hot, my favourite drink is Summer Water. It's just cold plain tap water with some ice. Oh yeah, just add vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, a splash of coke, and lime and lemon juice. Ok some people call it a long island iced tea but it's pretty much just tap water.
