ZSL Conservation

A Big Win for conservation in Tsavo West. After a 13-day mission, our team successfully collared the alpha male of a nomadic pack of 18 African Wild Dogs - now named the Kamboyo Pack. Huge thanks to ZSL, WRTI and KWS.

Dame Jane Goodall's legacy lives on in every researcher who approaches their work with both rigour and compassion, in every conservationist fighting to protect endangered species, and in every young person who believes they can make a difference for our planet. 🧵

Last week, we survey the largest angelshark nursery, Las Teresitas, thanks to Fundación Santa Cruz Sostenible & Cepsa. 🦈 Recaptured a few pups, showing they stay for over a year. Las Teresitas offers shelter & food!

This year the world watched wildfires tear through LA, while officials declared 2024 to be the hottest year on record. Nature can recover, but it will require wealthier countries to put their money where their mouths are. @gchandler23 for @CarbonPulse bit.ly/4h0V7B6

🎤 Passing the mic to the real heroes of mangrove conservation! Our CEO, @matthewsgould, has just returned from the Philippines, where he saw our incredible mangrove habitat restoration work in action. After a day in the mangroves 🌱, he handed the spotlight to our local experts, who shared why they’re so passionate about protecting these vital ecosystems. 💚 Mangroves are not just plants — they’re climate champions, coastal defenders, and biodiversity havens. But their future depends on systemic change. Read his latest blog to learn why putting the right value on nature is essential for a sustainable future. zsl.org/news-and-event… We want nature at the heart of every decision. From individual choice to investments, supply chains and international treaties, we want to drive change that moves our global economic framework to properly value nature. #MangrovesMatter #PassTheMic #ConservationInAction #ProtectNature #CreatingChange #RestoringHabitats
