⚠️ Banteng have been uplisted to Critically Endangered on the @IUCNRedList, spurred by poaching and habitat loss.
But there is hope. @IUCN_WildCattle's latest on how conservation efforts have kept the population stable in Thailand & Indonesia: asianwildcattle.org/news.htm…

And now we’ve all been sent to a hotel that has no rooms….. disgraceful.
Queuing here for an hour to be told there is no where for us

What a joke
Absolute chaos @emirates at Birmingham airport.
400 people waiting and no form of communication or plan….. we’ve been here for six hours!

Great to have been at the @BIAZA Conservation Conference, and really pleased to be able to share about our @TwycrossZoo Conservation Strategy
Approaching the end of the day and collaboration is key! Here's @stu_y
talking about @TwycrossZoo's conservation strategy and the importance of ensuring organisation wide buy-in, and alignment with @BIAZA and @EAZAFund strategies to maximise conservation impact
Me when the single shot of the back of my head appears
We're bringing Borneo's rainforests back to life! 🌳🦧🐘
Together with our conservation friends, @NGOHUTAN, we've been protecting rainforests, saving wildlife, and supporting people in Malaysian Borneo for 20 years.
This incredible all-female reforestation team has now planted a whopping 70,000 trees. And wildlife is making a comeback... including new species like the unique pygmy shrew (keep watching to see the most amazing little snout!).

I am looking for Thailand researchers who might be working with the genomics/genetics of their local banteng. Or local cattle. Anyone here? Or does anyone has any acquaintances?
This is very cool, but since the revision that Sumatran and Javan tigers are the same subspecies, I wonder if this was an escaped Sumatran? Either way, if there are Javan tigers remaining I doubt there would be anywhere near a sustainable population
Out now! Is the Javan tiger extant? A single hair was found near a reported sighting in 2019. Using DNA analysis Wirdateti et al. conclude it belongs to the Javan tiger. Further studies are needed to confirm whether the subspecies still occurs in the wild: doi.org/mndt
ALT Left: A tiger surrounded by green leaves. Right: a map showing the location where the putative Javan tiger hair was found in West Java province, Indonesia.
Yesterday was one month since I started as Conservation Programmes Manager at @TwycrossZoo! A really exciting period of growth at the zoo - looking forward to developing and growing in situ projects to support the Conservation Strategy

Hadn't realised that the mascots of #Pemilu2024 are Bali mynas!
Has the potential to raise awareness of the importance of songbirds to millions of Indonesian voters - will be interesting to see if this has any effect on the perception of songbirds and their trade @IUCN_Songbirds
Best of luck to the thousands of candidates standing for election tomorrow in #pemilu2024.
The pride of the Indonesian people in their democracy is palpable. The UK is proud to stand together with Indonesia in constant support of our shared democratic values.
