🔥 I am thrilled to have been chosen as a 2025 Flag Carrier by WINGS Women of Discovery!

With their support, I’ll join the team in Ethiopia’s Bale Mountains to vaccinate and GPS-collar endangered Ethiopian wolves.

Cat wisdom 🐱

In 2020, a male Ethiopian wolf in the Simien Mountains sustained a severe leg injury caused by a gun shot. Unable to keep up with his pack, weak and bleeding, in a place as harsh and exposed as the Ethiopian highlands, that’s usually the end of the story.

But this time, it wasn’t.

🌍🐺 Wolves Across Borders 2025 — EWCP joined the Himalayan Wolves Project and WildCRU colleagues in Lunteren to represent wolves from Africa, Europe and Asia.

A powerful global gathering sharing field insights and coexistence strategies.

Thanks to all who came to listen and share!

EWCP delegates, Prof Claudio Sillero, Dr Jorgelina Marino and Dr Sandra Lai, just arrived in Lunteren, Netherlands, for the International Conference Wolves Across Borders 2025! 🧵1/

“The three animals produced by Colossal are not dire wolves. Nor are they proxies of the dire wolf based on IUCN SSC guiding principles of extinct species for conservation benefit”—IUCN SSC Canid Specialist Group

When I look back at what we put our field cars through during the last field trip, I don’t even know how we made it successfully to the end… a miracle!

All field cars know suffering… that’s universal fieldwork experience!

What’s your worst field car story?

Can you guess how many Ethiopian wolves we captured?🦊

14 people, 10 days, 4 camps, 3 cars

Go ahead, judge me on anything!

I’ll be posting about fieldwork with Ethiopian wolves soon!

Stay tuned! ✨

Ethiopian wolves’ breeding season is fully on! Pups have started emerging.

I took this video almost 2 years ago now. It was my first time seeing Ethiopian wolf pups. Because of how the den was carved under big rocks and a strong wind, they couldn’t see or hear us, leading to this miraculous sight!

What type of ‘actionable conservation scientist’ are you? (are you one?)

I think there is a discrepancy between what people ARE, what they THINK they are, what they SAY they are, and what they actually WANT to be.

A cause of internal and external conflict, which is quite damaging on all levels.

Fieldwork is calling 📳

✨Happy New Year 2025!

May your fieldwork be legendary, your data results finally be significant, and your camera traps not decide they’re done with you halfway through the field season.🤓

Here’s to surviving another year of chasing elusive creatures and funding! Let's goooo✨

Field biologists have the reputation of not knowing how to dress well, but what are stereotypes if we can’t break them?
