BI9: Hilsa fishing and conservation in Bangladesh

This week is the second Biodiversity Infographics guest post, as we take an interesting look at the hilsa fish and its significance in Bangladesh. I really enjoyed reading about something I had very little knowledge of, so thank you to my former coursemate Badhon for this post. The infographic details some of the work Badhon has been involved in with the IUCN in Bangladesh.

BI8: Reasons to be cheerful

This week's infographic follows last week's as the second part of a two part mini-series on UK conservation. It focuses on the positive progress which is being made, and can be made in the future, for nature in the UK. Next week we leave the UK to travel to the rivers of Bangladesh with the second Biodiversity Infographics guest post, which I am very much looking forward to. Until then, here's some good news closer to home!

BI7b: 'Green and pleasant land?' in detail

When I was making the 'Green and pleasant land?' infographic (http://biodiversityinfographics.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/bi7-green-and-pleasant-land.html) I made an earlier version which was a lot more detailed and also much denser as a result. I thought I would post it here for interest's sake.


BI7: Green and pleasant land?

After a few weeks spent everywhere from Indonesian forests to the waters off the the south-east coast of the USA, this week's infographic is part one of a two-part look at the current and potential future state of conservation and the countryside in the UK. As I say in the infographic, there is a lot to be positive about in the UK, and this will appear in next week's post. However, there is also much cause for concern. A more detailed version of this infographic can be found at http://biodiversityinfographics.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/bi7b-green-and-pleasant-land-in-detail.html - that version is more 'illustrated article' than 'infographic', though!
