Habitat degradation may hinder #pangolin ability to raise pups, despite their perceived adaptability. We documented the elusive wild female #ManisJavanica during maternal and non-maternal stages, offering insights for evidence-based conservation. bit.ly/esr_58_223

#Conservation works Green sea turtles are making a comeback, IUCN says 'no longer endangered' though some subpopulations are still in trouble, news.mongabay.com/short-articl... They're not rare in the Galapagos where I made this image (saw up to 4 at once!) but E. Pacific pop is still 'vulnerable'

Green turtles are making a comeback! 🐢🌊 After decades of global conservation work, these once-endangered sea turtles are showing encouraging signs of recovery. While they still face threats, this is proof that protection works! https://bbc.in/4q9uIqH

Solar-powered lights integrated into fishing nets have been shown to reduce sea turtle entanglement by 63% without impacting target fish catch, offering a promising solution for sustainable fisheries.
