Jen Nightingale

Our newest blog is up - Dr Jen Nightingale @BristolZooGdns UK Conservation Manager, explains why Bristol Zoological Society is opposing the plans which risk causing irreversible losses to our native biodiversity👇 biaza.org.uk/news/detail/bl…

Come and join me on the 16th of September for a talk on how we can harness the power of drones and camera traps to locate and conserve giraffe.

Our conservation lecture series continues on 16 Sept with a talk from Caspian Johnson in search of the Kordofan giraffe. Caspian will discuss the trials & tribulations of monitoring giraffes, as well as what we’re doing to help protect this majestic icon: facebook.com/events/3550506…

New baby at work! 🦍 💓

Save the date! Next in our conservation lectures - one a bit closer to home! @JenNightingale1 discussing our #crayfish conservation breeding and reintroduction project! ❤️🦞 (closest emoji to a crayfish!) #conservationoptimism #nativespecies #freshwaterconservation #crayfish

A few toad photos from last nights patrol. There were a few about despite it being dry.

"Our spirits sink when @JenNightingale1 gestures towards the cliff that forms the next transect. The one we are helping with. The butter-smooth, iron-grey, impossibly steep slab of unadulterated rock that we must scale if we are to see Silky Wave." Today: Avon Gorge's star moth.

Some of the toads that have made it safely to the lake to breed! Thanks to the volunteers for helping them reach their destination ! 🐸 #amphibians #toadsontheroad #wildlife

@BristolZooGdns as a lead partner in Rapid Response Biosecurity Project is hosting Rapid Life conference on invasive non-native species biocontrol today. Showcasing exceptional work of local partners & organisations and our own native species team @APHAgovuk #conservationoptimism

And finally, Jen Nightingale introduces the new @BIAZA Reintroduction Advisory Group, which will support best practice in conservation translocations across the BIAZA membership and ultimately facilitate the ongoing role of zoos in successful #rewilding projects #BIAZA2020
