A monitoring approach led by wildlife rangers could make for better counting of lions in many parts of their African range.
Male lions are making the risky swims, braving crocodiles and hippos, so as to find females.
Principal causa de mortalidade de leões é causada pelos machos adultos que os matam em infanticídios
From the moment a male lion is born it faces a gauntlet of challenges, ranging from snakebite to infanticide.
Developing countries suffer the most in the conflict between large carnivores and humans. We need better financial incentives for these communities to make sure these iconic predators are protected.
Russia has vast natural resources and is involved in many conservation efforts. Its diplomatic isolation as a result of the war in Ukraine is making it harder to protect many wild species and places.
Sebuah studi tentang tweet yang diposting pada tahun 2019 menemukan bahwa cuitan tentang konservasi gajah tidak selaras dengan ancaman terbesar yang sebenarnya terhadap satwa ini.
A study of tweets posted in 2019 found that tweets about elephant conservation didn’t align with the actual greatest threats to the animals, creating the risk of misdirected funding.
The reduction of foreign tourism is an opportunity for Africans to experience many of the continent’s premier parks at a discount.
Africa’s public and private protected areas took a massive blow from the collapse in tourism because of the pandemic. Tourism is a key source of funding for managing protected areas.
Compensation for losses from wildlife is an increasingly popular conservation intervention. However, a recent review cautions its use.
Enforcement at protected areas is key way to prevent bushmeat poaching, but it’s also important to recognise the contribution bushmeat makes to livelihoods, incomes and food security.
A new study evaluates what South African landowners who run trophy hunting operations would do in the event of a hunting ban.
New science shows that estimates of the African lion numbers are underpinned by weak methods. But several new studies from Kenya and Uganda show that lions can be counted robustly.
Los pangolines son comercializados ilegalmente, están vinculados a la pandemia del coronavirus y se encuentran en vías de extinción en algunas zonas. Por eso es vital reintroducir esta especie amenazada en la naturaleza.
Pangolins are illegally traded, linked to the coronavirus pandemic and driven to extinction in some areas. That’s why it’s vital to reintroduce this threatened species back into the wild.
As the ultimate custodians, it is urgent that African countries with elephants take
ownership of the processes at CITES.
Trading rhino horn has been legalised in a bid to undercut poachers and the black market.
Should trade in ivory be banned or not? There may be a solution.
The destruction of a massive haul of illegal ivory was supposed to send a message to poachers and those who trade in the tusks. Did they notice, or can the ivory be used to help elephant conservation?
While Trump’s more extreme campaign promises may not eventuate, substantive changes in how the US engages with the world on environmental, and many other, issues are likely.
Ivory was a major talking point at the CITES CoP17 conference.Many feel the ban on trade doesn’t work while others believe the ban is the only way to save the iconic species.
Scientists from the developing world perceive current visa rules as a major impediment to professional travel. They miss out on opportunities to collaborate globally.
