Here's a short video summarizing key messages from our paper on the proposed UK Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill. Paper here: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.c… @SteveReedMP @DefraGovUK @JNCC_UK @CITES @UniofOxford @oxmartinschool @OxfordBiology @IWTnet

Great to take part in this side event on @IUCN @IUCNRedList @CITES AC/PC today. Pleased our research on threat to species from int'l trade was discussed in the working group and in plenary, and the Parties think it is useful to inform decision-making.

Great to be @CITES PC/AC meetings in 🇨🇭with @tSasRolfes @ICCS_updates @IWTnet @OxfordBiology @oxmartinschool. Great to see @ivonnehiguero @Caceressanzana @saeko_terada @sslieberman

On the contrary, we're interested in evidence-based public policy on biodiversity. Here we are meeting with the Botswanan delegation that came to Oxford recently.

Clip from @BBCWorld interview today. Key message: import bans on #trophyhunting are misguided and unfounded. They will likely do more harm than good for conservation. @OxfordBiology @UniofOxford @oxpolicyengaged @ICCS_updates @IWTnet @oxmartinschool @AmyDickman4 @AdamHartScience

Great to be on @BBCWorld today talking about #trophyhunting import bans. Key message: such bans are misguided and risk doing more harm than good for wildlife. Key evidence does not support such bans. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Headline #trophyhunting is not a major threat to any species imported to UK as a trophy in last 20 yrs (or any species) & it provides important benefits. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @HenrySmithUK @domdyer70 @ClaireHSI @fishvetmj @FOURPAWSUK @HSIUKorg

Successful day in @HouseofCommons sharing evidence on #trophyhunting to inform policymaking. Policies should be evidence-based and proportionate. Analyses here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
