It's a real testament to DICE that we've received this funding and I'm so excited about leading the project. We will be advertising a number of lectureships, fellowships and PhD studentships soon, so follow @DICE_Kent and the DICE LinkedIn page for details.

I am excited by this new publication that reports on the mammals of a poorly studied, yet important, region, the Chimanimani mountains that straddle the border between Zimbabwe and Mozambique. We hope that this will stimulate further research in Mozambique checklist.pensoft.net/article/125295/

No-, low- & medium-impact journal articles are more important to US species conservation policy than are high-impact papers. "our findings stress the need to value and fund the taxa- and region-specific science that underpins actionable conservation laws" conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

In amazing train news I am stuck on the Chiltern line because a train today hit the corpse of a cow that had been hit by a different train two days ago, left by the side of the track, exploded and rolled back onto the track again. And you thought James Cleverly had a bad day.

Amy Dickman 🦁 @amydickman.bsky.social
.@ScienceMagazine published a letter about #Amboseli #elephant trophy hunting, which completely ignored Tanzanian realities. Shockingly, Science rejected multiple responses from Tz authors: the local MP has published his now as a press release, but appalling this wasn't published

We're saddened and shocked by the passing of Keith Somerville, a much valued member of DICE. A former BBC journalist and world expert on Africa, his work covered the politics and practice of African conservation. His punchy, insightful writing always championed the underdog.

We're really struggling to get someone to talk about evidence-based conservation from a Global South perspective for our session at #BES2024. If you're going to the conference and could give a talk on this topic, could you get in touch?

I’m seeing a lot of anger and disappointment in badger circles today that the badger cull is ending, but not ending fast enough. Apologies for the long thread 🧵, but tet me explain why I think the news is the best it could be 1/25

Spotted 9 White Stork just outside Deal, on my drive home today. I'm guessing some of @KneppWilding birds.

More proof that #Lions 🦁 are indeed 'spilling' out of #Gir #Gujarat as there is literally no more space. Here you see the classic dispersal of young male lions. Just a matter of time before man-animal conflicts start to rise exponentially & the #Asiaticlion becomes the bad guy.
RiRi@RiahNotRia

#Lions 🦁 are spilling out as #Gir is beyond saturated. As more lions move outside protected reserves they increasingly find themselves next to Humans!! Here a man is seen harassing a lioness with young cubs and if she attacks, the lioness is branded a man-eater! 💔. #Gujarat

🧵 1/ Wildlife trade involves 1000s of species and changes rapidly, making it difficult to develop effective management strategies. Our new @NatureComms paper presents a novel analysis of 50 years of commercial wildlife-related patents: #Sec15" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4146… #WildlifeTrade
