Fantastic #LJMUResearchDay2023 keynote from @ScienceatCZ @PangosAndPottos on use of AI to overcome camera trap challenges for Giant Pangolin conservation. It's great to develop monitoring tech that can be handed over to local communities & reserve rangers for long-term efforts.

Our latest issue features a special section on #pangolin conservation! From camera-trap studies to trade analysis, the articles cover research on pangolins in Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon & Nepal. Find the Editorial, Articles, Conservation News & Briefly here: cambridge.org/core/journals/…




Interested in novel technologies to measure #animalwelfare? PhD available with @DrYellowstone, Dr Richard Stocker, and me @uochester @BioSciChester @UoCPsych @UoCSciEng. Further details at: www1.chester.ac.uk/phd-studentshi…. Closing date 19th May. Please RT!










#OperationPangolin launches! It has the potential to transform pangolin conservation in parts of C Africa & Asia. More at: ox.ac.uk/news/2023-02-1… w. @projetmecistops @FIU @meredithgore @BDilkina, Al Davies, @ZSLconservation & @Parcs_Gabon. @ICCS_updates @IWTnet @OxfordBiology


Out today! Using targeted camera-trap surveys in Uganda, Matthews et al. found that giant pangolin detection probability was highest when camera traps were targeted on burrows, despite there being little known about how giant #pangolins use burrows👉doi.org/jvf8
