West Seti (Nepal) expedition to scope conservation challenges/prospects for mahseer. An incredible adventure with friends/colleagues (old and new). Despite the arduous travel I can’t wait to return for more focused scientific surveys.

Attitudes on an Interconnected World How close do people feel to others around the world? How much do they want their countries involved in international affairs? A recent 24-nation survey explores these questions.

Fascinating study www.pewresearch.org/global/2023/...

Happy 50th Steve 🍻

Thanks @davetickner.bsky.social. We’re on the same page 👍

Spot on @davetickner.bsky.social. And that’s working out well. But what about US and DS projects which are not bank group funded. Frustration is how do we address Cumulative impacts, secure compliance with legal min e-flow and maintain connection beyond individual projects?

Just sat down to eat in a hotel bar in Kathmandu and what’s on TV? Even saw myself in shot after Evanilson’s goal🤯. Nepali barman clocks my interest and claims he’s a 🍒 fan.
Life’s full of little surprises. UTCIAD (including Nepal) 🍒🍒🍒 @afcbofficial.bsky.social #bournemouth #football #premierleague

How do you get hydropower companies to comply with e-flow & fish passage obligations when no regulatory body to impose penalties? Asking for a friend (somewhere in S. Asia).
Disclaimer: not all HPPs guilty but enough to erode the efforts of those who are committed to maintaining river connectivity.

Thanks for all the follows. From the Bluesky above the Himalayas - Hello👋
