How many species would have followed the way of the Dodo and gone extinct without the conservation action they received in recent years and decades? Our paper identifying the species is released at midnight tonight. Watch this space! @BirdLife_News #BirdLifeScience @IUCNRedList
New paper on mortality risk in birds during heatwaves in Australia. Bottom line: in some regions, many small bird species will only survive under climate change where there is access to drinking water https://t.co/1YlmWrVUVK
What does @BirdLife_News want to see in the post-2020 biodiversity framework being negotiated by the world's governments. See https://t.co/RFAOzQoGWc
New paper on case studies showing how tracking data on marine species have helped inform conservation policy and management, incl. reductions in
fisheries bycatch & vessel strikes, and marine protected area design https://t.co/4TbIRThrti
Been digging out some images for #NatureMatters16 talk incl some of the 18 recent Hawaiian landbird extinctions, largely driven by invasives
