🚨New research on Uganda’s largest carnivore survey in @ELSenviron GECCO! sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 🦁26,000 km driven, 232 camera sites show lions in decline in Kidepo and QE, but hope in Murchison (240 🦁). Hyenas faring well, leopards strong in Murchison & Mburo. Our work brings together >100 collaborators, 47 authors, and 20 NGOs together across six protected areas.

What factors influence the rediscovery of lost tetrapod species? Excited to have contributed to this study just published: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @GlobalChangeBio #mammals #birds #reptiles #amphbians #biodiversity #conservation @rewild

What factors influence the rediscovery of lost tetrapod species?

Lost species tend to be highly threatened, but we cannot protect them effectively because we do not know where they are, or even if they still exist. This study reveals patterns in their distributi...
