Commercial tree plantations are expanding rapidly in the Llanos region of Colombia, but what could be the impacts of these plantations on the diversity of mammals? Some insights on this paper: doi.org/10.47603/mano.…

Great study led by Illaria Greco et. al. 1) the effects of forest loss and fragmentation can go way far beyond protected areas boundaries, 2) an increase of 16 people per km2 can reduce sp richness by 1%, 3) protected areas are not enough to conserve mammals diversity!

@David__Mateus También estoy convencido que puede haber un balance, si señor. Hay que hacer los estudios y pensar alternativas. Gracias por el interés. Sludos

@pardo_lain Usted es el experto y me queda mal llevarle la contraria Pero uno también puede decir que si se puede una cosa, se puede la otra Y al menos creo que vale la pena plantear la posibilidad de un sistema de compensación forestal con la construcción de la vía

Esto quiere decir que perfectamente se puede hacer la ALO Norte, junto con un plan de forestación en la supuesta reserva van helsing

Huge thanks to everyone involved in this research!

new paper out! Our results highlight the crucial role of forest cover amount for the presence of mammalian species regardless of its quality, the configuration of the landscape or where patches are embedded. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I am excited to share my @TEDTalks for @TEDxSantaCruz on the idea of birdwatching tourism as a way to support conservation and economic development in rural parts of tropical countries. Enjoy! (short 🧵to follow) youtube.com/watch?v=DVBDf0…. Share widely 👀🐦‍⬛🐦

@alice_bernard14 Congrats!! Cool stuff! Cheers

🎉 Very excited to see my 2nd PhD paper published! We used #LEK to assess the different strategies of large mammals for using the anthropogenic landscapes of the #GardenRoute #SouthAfrica sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

And if you've enjoyed hearing about the course and it is something you'd be interested in attending... We'll be running it again next year! 🤩📸🇿🇦🦁🐆 So please keep an eye out for updates or feel free to contact us! We're already looking forward to it! 📸🇿🇦😊

Days 6 & 7 of #AFSCTS2023 have been a blast! 📸🇿🇦 On Day 6 we had @pardo_lain take us through occupancy 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣1️⃣💻 & today we've had a well earned day off exploring Kruger! We were treated to some great sightings 🦁🐘🐆🐃 but this male leopard was definitely the highlight! 🤩

Our fantastic group of students and lecturers at the #AfricanFieldSchoolforCameraTrapStudies 🤩 Sundowners on Mathekenyane last night! 🍻🌅

Day One and we're off with the African Field School for Camera Trap Studies! 📸🇿🇦 🦁🦒🐘 Today is an introduction to #cameratraps, with Craig Tambling taking us through the history of camera traps, basic settings & models, & the types of data & information you get from cameras!

Our first African field school for camera trap studies just started!! 12 days ahead to dive into the technique and ecological analysis! @Wild_Ecol_Cons

Todos invitados a proponer simposios etc en el marco del VCCM! Nos vemos en los llanos orientales de Colombia para conocer y disfrutar la biodiversidad!

We have limited space available on our camera trap course taking place this June in Kruger NP! 📸 The course is designed to teach graduate students & conservation professionals about every aspect of using camera traps for wildlife research! Apply here: wildecolabdotcom.wordpress.com/courses/

Conoce a detalle las actividades de la Red Colombiana de Fototrampeo en el VI Congreso de Zoología. 📸🐆 ¡Te esperamos!

Aún tenemos algunos cupos para nuestro curso de introducción al fototrampeo, los esperamos! Mas información en este enlace drive.google.com/file/d/12EB2YN…

Muy buen artículo para entender el problema de la deforestacion en el amazonas Colombiano. A propósito, la gran mayoría de carne que comemos en Bogotá, está asociada a la deforestacion, importante reducir su consumo.
