I’m so proud of this new project! (Yes I’m the headless person holding the badger, anaesthetised under licence)
Farmers and scientists join forces to vaccinate badgers against TB

- The groups have long been at odds over culling of badgers in England as a way to control TB in cattle

- New project in Cornwall is first farmer-led badger vaccination scheme

Fellow Mammalogists.

As many of you are aware, science is in a state of turmoil in the United States. Recent efforts to drastically reduce government workforces and research funding for science will lead to many adverse consequences for Earth’s remaining natural ecosystems.

Sad to only now find out about this. Our team has modelled the (scary) projected impact of climate change on African wild dogs, a CMS-listed species
40+ experts gathered in Edinburgh for a CMS-hosted Migratory Species & #ClimateChange Workshop. 🌡️ 🦈

Participants are identifying migratory species most at risk, discussing shifting migration routes, and exploring how migratory species support mitigation and adaptation: www.cms.int/en/meeting/m...

Hooray!!!
Hurray! Some good news for bees at last. Our new government has followed the science, and refused the application by sugar beet farmers to use banned neonicotinoid pesticides.
