🌐🧪🦤 The #ArabianBustard of Africa’s #Sahel has collapsed in range and numbers, and is now moderately common only in #Chad, #Eritrea, #Djibouti and #Ethiopia. Hunting for sport and habitat loss to livestock and agriculture are major threats.

🌐🧪🦤 Citizen science data shows humans are responsible for most #SeaTurtle deaths and injuries in the #RedSea. Large cities and the nesting season are more dangerous for sea turtles. bit.ly/esr_57_313

🌐🧪🦤 New paper finds the globally important populations of wandering, black-browed and grey-headed albatrosses at South Georgia have decreased by 39-66% in just 32-40 years, caused mainly by bycatch in fisheries or climate change. bit.ly/esr_57_437

Now that I've finally made the move, I'm reposting one of my favourite things I made during my PhD: 1 year of output from a regional simulation of the SW Indian Ocean (colours show SST). We often use neat schematic diagrams to represent ocean currents but in reality, it's a rather turbulent mess!
