Vahotra ny vava... miambatra ny lela... tsy hita intsony izay holazaina fa hoy aho hoe sambory ireo mpamosavy... ireo manaparitaka ilay sakafo mamono no tiana hambara!

I am happy to be part of the team.
💚 This #WorldRangersDay, we’d like to shine a spotlight on the amazing rangers dedicated to protecting wildlife 💚
🇲🇬 In Madagascar, Durrell's teams have been carrying out celebrations to thank the 780 community patrollers who help us to save habitats and species.

🧵 1/ Wildlife trade involves 1000s of species and changes rapidly, making it difficult to develop effective management strategies. Our new @NatureComms paper presents a novel analysis of 50 years of commercial wildlife-related patents: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… #WildlifeTrade
ALT Screenshot of a new paper entitled "Early warning of trends in commercial wildlife trade through novel machine-learning analysis of patent filing" with a full abstract (summarised): 'Unsustainable wildlife trade imperils 1000s of species, but efforts to identify and reduce these threats are hampered by rapidly evolving commercial markets. Businesses trading wildlife innovate to remain competitive, and the patents they file to protect their innovations also provide an early-warning of market shifts. Here, we develop a novel machine-learning approach to analyse patent-filing trends from 1970-2020 related to 6 taxa that vary in trade legality, threat, & use: rhino, pangolin, bear, sturgeon, horseshoe crab, & caterpillar fungus. We found 27,308 patents, showing 130% per-year increases, compared to a background rate of 104%. Innovation led to diversification, including fertilizer using illegal rhino horn, and novel pangolin farming methods. Stricter regulation did not reduce patenting.
I am also a ranger but... on the table, i.e. behind the scene... using @SMARTCnsvTools to see what they have reported and set up a strategy to reduce threats to biodiversity.
Celebrating World Ranger Day today! The heroes of conservation, rangers work one of the most demanding and dangerous jobs on the planet so that the world's wildlife may be protected. Share this post to show your appreciation to rangers all over the globe 👏

Le conducteur du véhicule qui aurait percuté mortellement Miah Raveloson a été placé sous mandat de dépôt à la maison de force de Tsiahafy après son déferrement au Parquet du Tribunal de première instance à Anosy, hier. Le suspect n'est autre que le petit ami de la victime.

Selon Météo Madagascar, la qualité de l’air observée actuellement à Antananarivo a connu une nouvelle dégradation. Une qualité de l’air malsaine pour les personnes sensibles à la pollution pourrait persister pour les trois prochains jours. En savoir plus : actu.orange.mg/depeches/
Thanks to @ConservtnAllies and
@RseSolofo giving me a chance to present to many Malagasy conservation associations and organizations what we can do using
@SMARTCnsvTools on patrols to protect biodiversity, earlier this month.

Grant rejection day🙃
I'm not really one to post about this stuff here but one reviewer highlighted the lack of a publication from my MSc as a weakness.
Come on, don't do this. Not everyone had the opportunity or resources to publish their MSc project.
Am I tainted forever?😅

In #Madagascar eucalyptus is not good for biodiversity but often planted to provide essential timber and fuel wood. At Tsivory, in the sub-arid south, we are propagating and trialing potential native trees for this role. Here collecting seeds for propagation. Thanks LCAOF.

Between 2001-2023 about 750k Has of forest coverage have been lost within all terrestrial protected areas in #Madagascar representing 17% loss, 10% of which has happened during the 10 last years, The trend of the deforestation curve coincides with that of inflation
