Happy #InternationalCheetahDay! 🐆🐾
Great day with Five Sisters Zoo, visiting schools in West Lothian to talk about #cheetah #conservation. Fantastic interest and engagement by all the students 🐆🐾

The Central African #cheetah is classed as #Endangered, North-west African & Asiatic cheetah subspecies are #CriticallyEndangered! Check out difference between historic & current distribution of the species. The Asiatic cheetah now only found in Iran with ca. 27 adults left

'Where the Wild Things should be' is the theme of #NationalMammalWeek.
With fewer than 7,000 #cheetahs left, the species is classed as Vulnerable by the IUCN. Over the last century, the cheetah has lost >90% of their population as well as their distribution range.

One species heading for extinction are #cheetahs. I will post information about each subspecies daily during #NationalMammalWeek. 🐆🐾

A huge Thank You to John Rhyder of Woodcraft School, UK and René Nauta at EXTRA - Maak buiten je thuis, NE for organising the event and to everyone who made this such an enjoyable symposium. Hope to see you all again soon. 🐾

Unfortunately, there were lots of great workshops I did not manage to attend. And I realised, yet again, that I still have sooooooo much to learn. #Nature and #wildlife are complex and fascinating, and learning about them is a lifelong journey. Looking forward to the next learning opportunity. 🐾🌿

This year's International Tracking Symposium #ITS25 was simply fab! Great workshops & speakers, a perfect venue in Holland and an amazing group of participants. I managed to attend talks & workshops on human #tracking, preservation of feathers & bones, scat morphology, antler ID & deer behaviour.

I know that tracking has made me a better #biologist, and with a foot in each community, I would like to help bridge that gap and encourage a closer connection & collaborations between the conservation research & tracking communities. Watch this space! 😉🐾🐾
#Noninvasive #Wildlife #ConservationMatters

The #tracking community has so much expert knowledge to offer and I am excited for future conservation projects together. #Wildlife monitoring and #Rewilding projects can hugely benefit from such collaborations.

With a brilliant audience of trackers & beautiful weather we held our talk outside at this year's International Tracking Symposium. We discussed benefits of tracking knowledge for #wildlife #conservation & how to get trackers more involved in academic #research & #CitizenScience projects. 🐾🐾

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay!
Let's celebrate the #biodiversity of our planet. So many beautiful & amazing species of which the #cheetah is a stunning example. Many, including the cheetah, are on the brink of extinction due to loss of habitat, illegal trade & conflict.
