BI4: Why is successful mitigation of human-wildlife conflict so rare?

Merry Christmas! As promised, here is a Christmas Day gift from my friend and former coursemate Sašo Gorjanc, looking at human-wildlife conflict based in large part on research Sašo has done in Slovenia. Don't worry, it was all written in advance, so we haven't done any work on Christmas Day..! I found it fascinating, and I'm sure you will too.

BI3: New hope for elephants in Kenya?

This week's infographic looks at whether an initiative run by The Nature Conservancy and the Northern Rangelands Trust can offer some light at the end of the tunnel for African elephants, specifically in Northern Kenya. Next week we will be sticking with the human-wildlife conflict theme with a special guest post, which I am very much looking forward to!

BI2: Problems with De-Extinction

This week's post is my second infographic on de-extinction, addressing the reasons which could mean that de-extinction could or should not happen. Again, this is as large as I can upload it on Blogger, but it should stand up fairly well to being zoomed in on, and clicking on the image on a mobile will pull up a higher res version. Any thoughts, suggestions or comments always very welcome at alexanderjmorrice@gmail.com.

BI1: The Merits of De-Extinction

Hello! Today marks the first step into a new blog for me. Every Friday, I'll be posting a new infographic about something related to conservation. It will range from presenting journal or news articles to conference reports or my own viewpoints on issues of conservation interest. My first infographic is on a topic which is always a good talking point, namely de-extinction, or the revival of extinct species. This infographic concentrates on the merits of de-extinction, and next week's will examine some of the potential drawbacks and factors which mean it might not be feasible. This is as large as I can upload it on Blogger, but it should stand up fairly well to being zoomed in on. If you're reading on a mobile, clicking on the infographic should pull up a better res version. Any thoughts, suggestions or comments always very welcome at alexanderjmorrice@gmail.com.

Enjoy!
