The guiña, a small wildcat, has been moved to least concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Found only in Chile and Argentina, this small cat was previously listed as vulnerable.
But the threat downgrade isn’t a sign of conservation success, researchers say.

Our paper just published on the relationships between pastoralists and cheetah in the Horn of Africa. More than 60% of respondents reported a cheetah attack in the last year and reported that killing cheetahs was widespread. www.frontiersin.org/journals/con...
Frontiers | Attitudes, norms, and beliefs of pastoralists toward cheetahs in the Horn of Africa
Free-ranging African cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) inhabit only 13% of their former range. A subspecies of particular conservation concern is the Northeastern ...

By studying the vocalizations of primates, birds and whales, researchers have spotted features of animal communication once thought unique to human language. To probe deeper, some researchers are turning to AI to explore whether we can infer meaning from such communications.
AI is helping to decode animals’ speech. Will it also let us talk with them?
The complexity of vocal communication in some primates, whales and birds might approach that of human language.

What a great experience the 2025 meeting in Siena was!
We had inspiring talks, shared knowledge, sparked discussions, and strengthend the amazing community of mammalogists.
A big thanks goes out to the coordination team and the Italian Mammal Society- Associazione Teriologica Italiana!
