2025 was wonderful; several scientific publications, two international collaboration grants awarded, several graduates students completed, successful field courses, being nominated on Wildlife Use Rights (UWA) and Wildlife Hazard and Management committees (UCAA). I am humbled🙏

It's not 8. How many birds are there? 🤔🤔

This article just came out. Great collaboration from across the globe. All started with @IPBES doi.org/10.1111/brv.70…

Our latest paper sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) has marked a significant milestone in aviation safety by launching a National Committee on Wildlife Hazards Management, dedicated to reducing wildlife strike risks,particularly from birds, near airports & in Ugandan airspace. @UgandaCAA

To be able to see where the big life started is often fascinating. These eggs and the caterpillars tell an amazing story of one of the emperor moths that was found feeding on Jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus) close to Entebbe international airport.

@matovuhillary1 I am more than happy to participate

@Perpetra cant wait to see your submission here DR.

Looking forward to seeing this aired. Do not miss

Seeing the threats to our treasured biodiversity through the lens of global species assessment. I am honoured to be part of the team working on the global reassessment of #Odonata fauna @IUCNRedList.

The conservation impact of @TropicalBiology #Alumni is recognized globally. We celebrate @Perpetra & Solohery for winning the 2023 Marsh Award. The two joined and shared their work with other global ecologists at the @BritishEcolSoc conference in Edinburgh, Scotland.

With this kind of survival strategy, you will always be safe

@Eopito Noted. Will get back to you

@Perpetra Here are the caterpillars

To all my family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and others. Merry Christmas and the best wishes for 2024.

@RSemyalo @cmasembe10 @MakCoNAS @ProfNawangwe This is a wonderful experience for the students.

#MarineEcosystems_Mak After long trip to the Indian Ocean we begin the Field Lab on Marine Ecosystems for year III students @MakCoNAS @cmasembe10 @ProfNawangwe

@Bill_Sutherland Congratulations, Rosie. This is well deserved.

Congratulations to Rosie Trevelyan, Tropical Biology Association Director, for her well deserved MBE for services to environmental science and international conservation. A leading figure in capacity building who did much to build conservation in Cambridge, including through CCI.

@raymondkaggwa1 @Perpetra @chemurot @RoyEntSoc @EntomologicalU @ZooEntFish @MakCoNAS @cmasembe10 @richardjtelford @VVandvik @BritishEcolSoc This looks like Vespa velutina - where did you see it?
