Just gave a beaver talk to a Trout Unlimited chapter & marveled at how times have changed. When I preached about beavs to fish-centric audiences in 2018, the reaction was often hostility; now anglers wanna tell me about the huge brookies they haul from beaver ponds. Progress!

Check out this @WildKingdom episode: “Crossing Cougar Country”! One thing unites big cats ranging from the Florida swamps to the Hollywood Hills; urban development threatens their livelihood by bisecting their habitat & causing wildlife-vehicle collisions. youtube.com/watch?v=F4xnTF…

Excited to see the launch of this program that @largelandscapes and our partners helped develop! Looking forward to supporting @USDOTFHWA and applicants as it rolls out.

Today, Transportation @SecretaryPete Buttigieg announced the new #WildlifeCrossings Pilot Program, making $111M+ available for the first round of competitive grant funding! Our coalition launched a website with info & resources for interested applicants. largelandscapes.org/news/wcpp/

Breaking: @BLMNational just announced a proposed policy on conservation and landscape health, including actions to “protect landscape intactness and habitat connectivity.” You can share your perspective via public comment within 75 days. 📷: BLM/Bob Wick blm.gov/press-release/…

"Spatial planning isn't some guy in a back room doing data, it's people getting together and having a conversation" - Gary Tabor @wildcatalyst from @Largelandscapes. Great to have the Chair of the @IUCN_WCPA Connectivity Conservation Specialist Group here at @CCI_Cambridge today.

“This conference is our chance to stop the orgy of destruction of nature” UN Secretary General tells delegates @UNBiodiversity #COP15

Our president, Gary Tabor, was invited by the Conservators of @Ashdown_Forest in East Sussex, England (which inspired the idyllic home of Winnie-the-Pooh!) to visit the landscape and speak about the importance of ecological connectivity and wildlife corridors. @wildcatalyst

📢Breaking: New initiative seeks to connect wild spaces and secure a healthy planet for the benefit of all Today at #COP27 CMS partners WWF, @Largelandscapes & @IUCN_WCPA launch -Wildlife Connect- to secure ecological connectivity ➡️Learn more: wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/press… 📷@WWF

#WWF and partners have launched a new initiative to connect wild spaces and secure a healthy planet for the benefit of all. Our ability to conserve ecological connectivity will impact how well we adapt to #climatechange and prevent #pandemics #ConnectingTheCrises #COP27

Our new empirical study published in @Nature shows that rapid changes in bat ecology and behavior – driven by habitat loss and climate variability – drove the emergence of Hendra virus, a fatal pathogen in horses and humans. nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵

Published as an accelerated preprint today - Raina and her colleagues' empirical research linking land-use change and disease spillover is in the news with NY Times, Washington Post, National Public Radio, Reuters, German Public Radio, etc. nytimes.com/2022/11/16/hea…

You can join the conversation about climate and conservation in Egypt. In person or virtually. Please share. Some interesting speakers!

Gary Tabor, @AnnikaKeeley, and Aaron Laur from the Center co-authored this paper with David Theobald on an important new metric, developed by Theobald, to measure ecological connectivity of a protected area network. @wildcatalyst conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cs…

🚨We're losing wildlife species at a shocking rate, but the #LivingPlanetReport shows how we can fix this crisis. Gary Tabor of @Largelandscapes & Jodi Hilty of @Y2Y_Initiative coauthored a section on restoring connectivity. @wildcatalyst @HiltyJodi panda.org/lpr

“Connectivity matters, nature knows no borders,” - thank you @wildcatalyst for the brilliant overview into connectivity and how it’s critical to conservation and for animals and people to thrive into the future #GERConnect22

Quote of the Conference at #GERConnect22 'Your science is world leading but your policy is shit'. That's from @wildcatalyst, Gary Tabor - Exec. Director of the Centre for Large Landscape Conservation in Montana, regarding our plight here in Australia. Bugger, I think he's right
