After yesterday this came to my mind, not sure why...

Who is protected and receives most funding? Not the most in need, but the cutest and flufiest. What can we do to change this?

A massive effort to analyse the largest wildlife trade database in existence. Open at www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The BASS project is taking place in a montado area near Grândola (Portugal), where 16 plots we set up and is a wonderful opportunity for students to work in this remarkable habitat and learn about biodiversity conservation. 🕷️🐜🪲🌍

New letter in @science.org by the @biodiversaplus.bsky.social DarCo project team highlights the need to integrate groundwater ecosystems into the EU Water Framework Directive.

A crucial step for sustainable water management and protecting groundwater fauna. 🌍🦐💚💧
