Happy National Wildlife Protection Day 26 December from Thailand. There are more captive elephants in Thailand than wild elephants (2500-3200 individuals). Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) cares for more than 20 captive elephants rescued from tourist camps and private zoos.

Why doesn’t environmental policy follow the best available science? Poor opinions of science advice, barriers to providing science advice and which country you live in affect whether science is taken seriously

Science could solve some of the world’s biggest problems. Why aren’t governments using it?
A Nature global survey finds that most specialists are unhappy with systems to provide science advice to policymakers.

Australia is the “world leader in extinction & environmental decline” where govt outsources nature repair to the private sector! Highlights the importance of restoring degraded landscapes/ removing cats/ foxes by #bushheritagefund #australianwildlifeconservancy theconversation.com/as-australia...
As Australia privatises nature repair, the cheapest approach won’t save our threatened species
Australia’s carbon credit scheme largely fails to protect threatened species, despite assumptions to the contrary. The findings provide cautionary lessons for the nature repair scheme.
