Our researchers have developed a powerful risk mapping tool to help prevent fatal collisions between endangered wedge-tailed eagles and overhead power lines. The model is already helping guide conservation strategies across Tasmania. Read more: utas.au/Tracking_

#ICCB2025 plenary speaker Amy van Nice from the Wildlife Alliance is sharing hard truths from work to combat the illegal wildlife trade. Among the many challenges, funding systems are biased towards short-term projects, and donor priorities are often misaligned with on-ground needs. #conservation

I'm really excited to be in Brissy for #ICCB2025! Come see me Tuesday during the poster session (Poster 61), where I'll detail some questions that can be asked with the recently published Seabird Restoration Database! Could be a great PhD chapter for a PhD student. 🧪 www.seabirddatabase.org

Low genetic diversity thought to contribute to high disease susceptibility of critically endangered Orange Bellied Parrots in captive and wild populations. Population decreases drive inbreeding - they have low immunogenetic diversity says Luke Silver #ICCB2025
