Murals with reintroduced endangered species are a thing. Researchers posing in front of them are too 🙂

In Uppsala for #eseh2025. Two cafés named after Carl Linnaeus (Linné) side by side… on Linnaeus Street.
Across the road: Carl the Hairdresser and his cockatoo lamp.

3/ I explored animal biography, an approach that intrigued me since I read @docroscher.bsky.social’s work. I traced individual life stories to see how far scattered records would let me reconstruct the mares’ trajectories.
Animal biographies matter because they reveal animals as historical actors.

1/ Happy to share that my article “Beyond Homecoming: The Reintroduction of Seven Przewalski’s Mares in the Gobi Desert” has been published in Environmental Humanities.
It is the story of seven mares flown from Australian zoos to Mongolia’s Gobi Desert in the 1990s
